Tilapia is supposed to be one of the best eco-fish to eat. So, I picked a package of tilapia “loins” at Trader Joe’s this week. Loins? Last time I checked, tilapia didn’t have legs…but let’s move on. The fish can have a muddy taste, so it helps to go a little heavy on the spices.…

Reminder: The EmilyStyle Clearance Sale ends in a couple hours (approximately 9:00 PST). Be sure to get your bids in! Lots of great Theory pieces for work and a fun Shoshana cocktail dress. There’s nothing over $30!

I’m lucky to have an heirloom necklace to wear at the wedding. It’s a small gold basket with pearl and diamond flowers. You can sort of see it in this photo from my cousin’s wedding. If you don’t have an heirloom or a couple extra thousand dollars lying around, don’t fret. You can create your…

My great-grandmother’s lace wedding dress is too delicate to last the whole evening. Especially, with all the festivities we have planned! So I need to find something fun and bridal to change into after dinner. Here are some contender: 1. Maggy London – I’m not sure that I have the curves for this dress, but…

Last weekend Rob and I photographed a very fancy wedding. A bridal party of 14. Designer gowns. Vintage Rolls Royce. Private club. Sit-down dinner. Sterling silver. Event planner. Calligraphy. Etc. It was amazing. While my own wedding budget is nowhere near their stratospheric range, I think I can glean a couple of ideas: Do Floral…

Ever since August Rush, which was cheesetastic and awesome, I’ve had a bit of an obsession with Keri Russell. Her curly hair is always the perfect balance between wild and tamed. How does she do that? (seriously, if you ever read something about how she does it you have to send it to me). Plus,…

We’ve added a couple days in Northern Arizona to the honeymoon itinerary. It looks like there are loads of nice places to stay in Sedona but it is hard to get a good read online. Have you been before? Resort recommendations? Tips?

Mad props to Ikea’s turbo durable Svepa glasses. We’ve had these indestructible glases for almost five years. Especially, impressive considering that they’re $6 for a dozen. That’s cheaper than oranges! I’m thinking it might be time to upgrade to something a little more minimal and versatile. Something along the lines of these simple Zac glasses…

There’s a new hotel opening across the bridge from San Francisco this summer. It seems like it will be fun! A developer has taken over the old military base, Fort Baker, and is scheduled to open in June. Cavallo Point is going to have 142 rooms, some in historic military housing, a spa, wedding facilities…

I love Mexican food! We eat it most days at home. Simple bean or egg tacos are so easy and they’re pretty healthy with small corn tortillas, pico de gallo and red cabbage. Fish tacos are also easy to make with frozen mahi mahi from Trader Joe’s. For Cinco de Mayo tonight, I think I’ll…
