This was a great adventure!  Rob, Nicole and I spent the weekend in Yosemite, cross-country skiing on the very last bit of snow leftover from a warm winter.  Any chance to get to the Sierras always proves to be a good time. We started on the 10.5 mile road to Glacier Point at 11:00 am…

Rob and I are leaving San Luis Obispo today and meeting a friend in Yosemite for a backcountry ski adventure! It’s 10 miles each way on groomed trails up to the Glacier Point hut – which doubles as the National Park gift shop in the summer. The hut provides bunk beds along with dinner, breakfast…

Are you ready for St. Patrick’s Day on Monday? I like to celebrate the day as a reminder of the time I lived abroad in Ireland. Here are two lucky choices for wearing green to the office. Dress – This simple dress with a green chevron pattern is easy and fun for $70. Belt –…

Easter, baby showers and weddings are popping up. It’s time to get a new dress! Dress – I love the modern interpretation of a…

Before we fly to Turkey, Rob and I are doing a quick tour of visiting our parents and squeezing in some backcounty skiing.

Guys…I have no idea if I’m packing the right things for our eight week trip to Turkey, Greece and Croatia. It’s going to be late March and pretty cold when we arrive. My standard European scarf and blazer combo seems a little formal for the Mediterranean. Plus, I want to try to take as little…

It’s hard to believe that Saturday will be our last day in San Francisco until almost June. We turn over our apartment to friends in the afternoon and hit the road for one last visit with family and a quick ski trip before flying to Istanbul. I’m hardly packed at all! Rob and I have…

I had a whole series planned for this week about translating the best red carpet gowns from the Oscars into everyday outfits. I’ll still do a couple posts, but I felt underwhelmed by the dresses this year. Even Lupita Nyong’o, who has been dressing SO well lately in bright colors had a pretty basic (still…

Two good friends of mine happen to have big job interviews coming up next week. And, I just happened to go to a great event hosted by XX in Health last night focused on how to dress for a job interview in San Francisco’s tech community. The secret? Put together an outfit inspired by a…

It is rainy, gray and cold in San Francisco. Definitely a day for dressing casually and warm. I find it so much harder to put together a casual outfit than a fancy one. Is that just me? Sweater – This boxy white cableknit sweater from Zara looks like it would be so warm. Tee –…
