Note: If you’ve Tivo’d this and want to avoid a spoiler, don’t read on. I got so mad at the TV last night. I watched Masterpiece Theater’s version of A Room with a View after getting home from the climbing gym. This one of my favorite books and I adore the Merchant Ivory movie. I…

A little frilly detail makes this shirt from Forever21 super feminine for spring. For $11, the quality of the lace pieces around the collar is surprisingly good. I bought it in ivory last weekend and wore it with a white cami and jeans (in that photo from the previous post, actually).

I loved the heat wave we had the last few days. San Francisco is extra fun when the weather is above 70. There’s no AC here, so the whole city slows down, gets happy, goes outdoors and puts on cute clothes. On Friday, I had a dinner meeting after work to prep for the conference…

Formal wear requests are my least favorite, I have to admit. But I’m here to help! Here is Kathryn: I enjoy reading your great advice on what to wear, your glimpses into California life, and—of course–your Wedding Wednesday features. So…….This should be right up your alley! My husband and I are invited to a black…

I really hate being jealous. My family is in Coronado this week enjoying the beach…lucky dogs. And I’m also wishing I didn’t have to work this weekend since the weather is so nice. I’m distracting myself by planning for my comp day next Wednesday. I think I’ll have a nice breakfast, followed by a trip…

The sun is shining. The weather is unseasonably warm. 30 Rock is back. Wedding planning isn’t stressing me out too much. Rob and I toasted our good fortune last night with the first margarita of the summer. Hooray!

Laurie is going to Ireland for the summer and wants a sophisticated, artsy look: I really enjoy your blog, and your “what to wear” advice is fabulous (which brings me to the purpose of this email)…I’ve just turned 22, and I’m about to move from Alabama to Cork, Ireland for at least 3 months this…

Old friends of my parents had Rob and I over to dinner earlier this week to celebrate our engagement. This couple has lived in San Francisco for over 40 years in a four story Edwardian house in the Inner Richmond. Before I moved to the city, I thought their home was large. Now that I…

Two more from Martha Stewart. I like both of these because they are compact and really let the garden roses shine.

Two more bouquet inspirations, this time from Martha Stewart. The yellow version is a little more “tropical” but you could replace the orchids with roses. I love the lightness. The teal version is a little denser but I really like the ivory filler.
