The old adage “the coldest winter I ever spent was summer in San Francisco” is in full effect this week. It is a blazing 54 degrees outside, overcast and drizzly. I’m tempted to unpack my fall tweeds and wools, or just to stay in bed under the down comforter with a cup of tea addressing…

I may not have found any shoes right for my wedding dress on Sunday, but I did find some designer lovelies. My favorite discovery was te casan at Loehmann’s. You can’t go wrong with a purple pom-pom or a little yellow suede. The prices at the discount shoe store were a little easier to manage,…

Another weekend as a single gal…this time because Rob was off on his bachelor party. I’m starting to get used to a lazy weekend by myself. On Friday, I took the bus downtown after work to meet Nicole. We shopped like mad-women, trying to find my second dress for the wedding. At one point, crashing…

The cold, clear ocean air has fully returned to the city and washed away the last bits of smoke. I was savoring it at lunch. There’s nothing like the brisk air in San Francisco. Here’s what I learned this week: Another week where I didn’t eat at home even once. I’m turning into the cautionary…

A little French weirdness is always appreciated on a Friday morning. I’m hooked on this song after receiving it with the latest Paste CD of world music. Oh, and this song too which is something of a guilty pleasure.

Last Tuesday’s LAC party was another fantastic event! Normally our summers are pretty slow, but we’ve had good attendance so far thanks to our hostesses coming up with special events. For the July party, Rebecca invited 16 of us to her apartment for a cooking party. We started by decorating our own white apron with…

Ignoring the fact that it is currently 55 degrees outside in foggy San Francisco for a moment, let’s think of warmer days. I bought this sundress at Old Navy last weekend for my honeymoon collection. I don’t normally wear this sort of thing, so I’m planning ahead. Dress – So cute for only $24!Hat –…

Loren emailed me last night about the Ladies Activity Club. While checking out her site, this yellow-accented wedding at the Shakespeare Garden in San Francisco caught my eye. I love the use of Limonata at this event. It is one of my favorite drinks and something that goes well with our colors! I’ll see if…

The fact that I’m planning for a 100 person wedding and a three week vacation just hit me last weekend. That’s a long time away from home! Time to start thinking about the essentials we need to take along: Tent – We’ll be camping on and off between fancy hotels. Rob bought a new tent…

I’m so pleased with the finished wedding invitations! They’ve progressed so far from the initial designs. The textures of the letterpress printing and the thick paper are so impressive in person. In all, the invitations do well in conveying the keywords for our event: elegant, relaxed, fun and classic. A million thanks to Jordan and…
