My big Friday plans for tonight are to buy a wedding album at Flax, watch an old movie and bake a cake. This recipe for a spice cake (my favorite) with blackberries and cream cheese frosting (really my favorite) sounds delicious! There is something so fun about making a layer cake from scratch. Cake mix…

Save your pennies and mark your calendars! There are two fabulous sales coming up on the weekend of September 22nd in San Francisco: The first is my all-time, favorite, best ever sale: The Macy’s Passport Event. Donate $10 to AIDS research and you get a pass for 10-20% everything in the store. It includes designer…

The latest edition of Vogue is so chock full with amazing designs that am I considering the possibility of selling my soul and marrying a Greek shipping heir! My absolute favorite so far is this lace coat from Burberry’s Prorsum collection. You can see it on the runway here, scroll down to #65. I found…

Rob’s is off hiking Half Dome today and will be gone the rest of the weekend. With all this time alone at home, it is time to try out some new recipes! My favorite thing to cook when I am eating alone is what I call “cheesy pasta.” The recipe is never the same but…

Is it possible to have too many linens? I don’t think so. That is why I am coveting this pink and green tablecloth from textile shop, Henry Road. I also love this set of three tea towels, printed with “coffee,” “tea,” and “me.” These designs are created by Paula Smail. She grew up in South…

The colors for fall this year are so vibrant. I bought a tomato red sweater, a plum t-shirt and a chartreuse t-shirt on my shopping trip with Nicole last weekend. But how exactly do you wear these shades? I wore the tomato sweater with a navy skirt earlier this week. Today’s challenge was to boldly…

This is apparently the weekend for craft fairs in San Francisco. Feria Urbana is having a craft sale on Saturday from 12-5 at the Canvas Gallery. Feria Urbana shows are always full of really amazing jewelry and other art at great prices. Plus, it is always fun to take the N-train over to Parnassus. And…

Last night’s LAC party was so fun! Stacey taught us all how to play bunco at her cute apartment off Portrero Blvd. This photo is of Rebecca and Jordan showing off their final scores. Jordan won the game and had the most buncos! Bunco is an easy dice game for a party of four or…

This Stoosh Pencil Skirt from Nordstrom’s BP department has a perfect, curve-complimenting cut. Designed for teens, but perfect for the office. And at only $38 it is certainly a good buy for fall. I’m wearing mine today with a black wrap shirt and a headband for an outfit that is more than little vintage. I’m…

Looking at this photo makes me salivate a bit! I’ve always had a soft spot in my wallet for art supplies. One trip to the art store and I convince myself I simply have to stock up on pastels, colored pencils, etc. This set of markers is the holy grail of art supplies. 140 duel…
