Finally! A weekend in San Francisco with nothing to do! Our summer was so booked with camping, trips, etc…this is a real luxury. I think Nicole may come out on Saturday for a visit and a trip to Japantown. And I want to go to the Legion of Honor on Sunday to see the Monets.…

It seems like all the winter coats for sale now are soo boring. Black wool, grey wool, puffy down…blah. I spent months last winter wearing the same black puffy over and over again. Never again! Instead, I would like this crazy coat from Biya. Now this is a coat you can really sink your teeth…

San Francisco’s unique historical architecture is one of the things that makes this city great. I love the concept of living in an apartment building that is about 90 years old and has fixtures for wood burning stoves! Well, most of the time I love it. Last night, I was having some doubts. I went…

Thursday night is usually kickball. We’re sidelined this week with Rob’s cold and my butt injury. Instead, I think I’ll use this extra free night to paint the front hall (I picked a color: Oregon Trail!) and make a cozy dinner. Grilled cheese and pesto sandwiches on wheat bread and a salad should do for…

I bought this exact picture frame from Doe on Haight street a week ago. I think it was a little cheaper than the Anthropologie version and it is even lovelier in person. Constructed out of bone tiles (not sure who/what was used for the bones), it has a very elegant bohemian elegant design. I bought…

500 white pencils printed with “San Francisco Ladies Activity Club” just arrived at my office! I am so happy with the results. This whole order was only $50 and took just a few weeks to arrive from Inkhead.com. I’m going to tie the pencils into bundles with ribbon and give them away as favors at…

As you know by now, fall is my favorite season and I’ve gone a bit nuts with celebrating since September 1. As part of my “hooray for fall” campaign, I sent out some letters last night. I decorated the custom note cards with drawings of bright fall leaves, pumpkins and rakes. Of course, I forgot…

Opera in the Park is back! This free concert is held in Golden Gate Park each year. The show starts at 1:30 this Sunday. It’s a great opportunity to have a picnic in the sun, listen to some free music and buy discounted tickets for the upcoming season. Plus: loads of SF socialite celebs like…

The blue corduroy blazer I ordered from Delias arrived yesterday. I know, I have been buying a lot of things from tween catalogs lately (admitting you have a problem is the first step). I think I managed to pull it together in a fun outfit for fall: Alex Cord Blazer: In Navy from Delias for…

I almost forgot: one good thing did come out of my trip to the doctor’s today! The radiology assistant complimented me after my x-rays. She said, “You look like a ballerina” which is a pretty darn nice thing to say in my book. I just happened to be wearing my new ballerina neck tee from…
