The weather this weekend was the absolute pits. It looked sunny and warm but the temperatures never got above 55 degrees and we had 50 mph winds. Yuck. Apologies to Amy who is visiting this week. On Friday, our friend picked us up from work at 5:30. Drinks at his apartment in Russian Hill before…

I’m holding my first ever tag sale online! All next week, I’ll be highlighting pieces up for sale on eBay. There’s a DVF wrap dress, a cocktail dress perfect for a formal wedding, cashmere sweaters, Theory trousers and more! Both from my own collection and from a couple of my super-stylish friends. Sizes 0 through…

This week has been so disjointed. Although, I greatly like the concept of having Wednesdays off. Here’s what I learned this week: San Francisco heat waves can end suddenly. I’m a really good walker. I love the satisfaction of walking to something that is far away and not being dependent on a car or train.…

Amy wrote in with this question: My husband and I are heading to SF this weekend for the web 2.0 conference. We’ve only been to San Francisco once (for our honeymoon – LOVED IT). This time we wanted to try some spots that aren’t as “touristy”. We’re spending a few days in Sausalito to see…

Blaire, an observant reader, alerted me to the DVF sale that started at noon today. 40% to 70% off some cute pieces! This is a great chance to add a DVF dress to your wardrobe for the upcoming wedding season. This adorable wrap dress is only $104 and this classic navy shirt dress is $200.…

I had such a nice day off yesterday! It was a perfect multicultural San Francisco vacation bundled into 12 hours. I feel like I went around the world: Paris – First stop was breakfast at the French boulangerie down the street, Cafe du Soleil. A giant latte and a ham and cheese croissant along with…

Our wedding venue has a cute round door between the garden and main hall. It’s a door that needs a wreath. I asked my florist about doing something with flowers, but even he said it would be wildly expensive. A dried wreath is much, much cheaper and it is something I can put up at…

Rob and I are doing our engagement photo shoot on the 26th. I think I want to get a little more dressed up than the traditional sweater and jeans recipe. Maybe a cute dress for me, slacks and shirt for Rob? And some sort of prop…A vintage suitcase to go along with our honeymoon road…

Wedding Wednesday is early because I’m off on a spa day! It’s funny, of all the things I’ve planned for this wedding…the actual wedding timeline hasn’t received that much thought. Ha ha….okay, now I going to freak out. We had been planning on the ceremony starting at 2:30. But that time looks a little weird…

Figuring out the right thing to wear to a wedding can be quite a mystery. Especially when it is a non-traditional event in a town you don’t know very well: I live in WV, and will be attending a Friday evening wedding in LA on May 9. We will be in town for essentially a…
