Fall Shopping Must Haves

Fall Shopping Must Haves

I browsed through the latest issue of Harper’s Bazaar at the nail spa on Sunday and got a major case of fall fever. Here’s what’s on my must buy list for the next couple weeks: A pair of black tweed lined wide leg trousers. Think Hepburn. Bright colored low heels and flats for work. A…
Things I Love Today: LAC Notepads

Things I Love Today: LAC Notepads

Every year, I like to make a “gift” for the LAC anniversary party. Last year, it was white pencils marked with our club name. This year, notepads! I just finished the print order for these yellow and blue notepads (the yellow isn’t so “mustardy” in real life). I can’t wait to see how they come…
Weekend Round-Up: The Doomed Paint Job that Wasn’t

Weekend Round-Up: The Doomed Paint Job that Wasn’t

Hooray! This was my first paint project that wasn’t a complete disaster! And it fit neatly into the rest of my weekend plans. Friday night, Rob and I met Matt at the climbing gym. We roped up for an hour or so and I did a 10b onsight! Back at home at 7-ish to rest…
Urban Girl Almanac: Titan of Business

Urban Girl Almanac: Titan of Business

This week has been really, really busy at work. But in a nice way. I’m left feeling successful, important and good at my job. How often does that happen? Here’s what I learned: San Francisco is a lot of fun during a heat wave! Which Fringe Festival show will I go see tonight? You Go…
Things I Love Today: Blue Velvet Sofa

Things I Love Today: Blue Velvet Sofa

I had a “love at first click” moment this morning. Jill from ink*drop posted photos from the Charlotte Moss Townhouse. I started drooling right when this blue velvet (suede?) sofa appeared. It must be some sort of pavlovian response left over from the summer I spent hunting for the perfect blue corduroy sofas with my…

To Do: Navy Make-Up

My week-o-cute continues today with a fresh new make-up look. Following Blueprint Magazine’s guidance, I’m rocking the navy eyeliner and raspberry lips. This combo is perfect for my blue eyes, dark hair and freckled skin. I feel like a J.Crew ad! Today’s lipstick is Raspberry Glace from Clinique (Thanks to Jean who passed this down…
What to Wear: Daisy Dress

What to Wear: Daisy Dress

Don’t you hate it when you find a great dress but then can’t figure out what to wear it with? I’m actually in a dark teal Club Monaco number today that I just found a cropped jacket to match. Here’s Alyson’s request: Next Saturday (15th), I’ll be attending my cousin’s wedding in Philadelphia, and need…
Back to School: Correspondence Cards

Back to School: Correspondence Cards

I’m in full “back to school” mode this week. I’ve been putting together extra cute outfits to wear to work. I’ve cleaned off my desk. Restocked with pencils, pens and post-its from the supply closet. Now it’s time to buy a few new fun supplies of my own. I like to keep some nice stationary…
Urban Frustrations

Urban Frustrations

City life can be so nuts sometimes. I was going to show yet another person my car this evening at 6:00 (a witch actually, but I’ll get to that later). A business lunch eats up my noon break, so I decide to try the car wash at 3:30. It should be empty…right? Nope. The entire…
