Mmmm. I have a new favorite fungi! Last night, we took BART to Berkeley for dinner with octogenarians Mel and Thelma and Jean, Trent and mom. It’s becoming almost an annual tradition to meet up at Lo Coco’s on Shattuck for a meal with this group! Rob and I shared a wonderful Sicilian pizza that…

I just received an invitation to an adorable craft fair at the end of August. I love Feria Urbana but it can be a bit of a zoo. This event looks to be a bit smaller and full of some really creative designs. I already like these felt note cards from One Hot Tomatoe. Any…

I am wearing my favorite blue wrap sundress from Zara’s today with a cardigan and pair of retro pumps. It’s the perfect girly outfit for a warm day in the city and trip to Berkeley tonight. Zara doesn’t post pictures of their clothes online (what a shame!) so I recreated a different, but similar outfit…

Something about the gorgeous weather we’ve been having in San Francisco has roused my inner SoCal girl. I have been completely obsessed with fresh limes for the last few days. Last night, we had fresh cataloupe with lime for dessert while watching the Tour and drinking Bordeaux. Today, I had a delicious plate of bean…

There is something so undeniably romantic about lockets. In this age of camera phones and flickr, the idea of carrying someone’s photo in a tiny jeweled case on your neck is so old fashioned. Which, of course, it partly why I am obsessed! Check out this French locket from Lang Antiques. Isn’t it lovely! Here’s…

Yellow and grey is a hot color combination for late summer. Blend these yellow shoes (they call them tan, but I think they are yellow) from Delias for $34 with a pair of your favorite dark grey trousers, a white sweater and some yellow accessories and you’ll be rocking! They’d also be cute with a…

Gene Kelly + Leslie Caron + Musical + Gershwin + Ballet = Amazing and wonderful film! An American in Paris has always been one of my favorite movies. Sure, it is 118 minutes long and full of bizarre non sequitur ballet…but I still love it. Gene Kelly is pretty much the most attractive man that…

The Ladies Activity Club is going to the Museum of Modern Art next week for our July party. SF MOMA is open until 9 pm on Thursday nights and even offers tasty treats. It’s a perfect LAC venue. Now, I just have to figure out what to wear. Being very obsessed with appropriate outfits (I…

This adorable silver bunny spoon and fork set from Gump’s is my idea of a perfect baby gift. A cute design, something that will be kept for a long time and a great price tag. This set is only $25! The backside of the spoon are even decorated with little bunny heinies and fluffy tails!…

This unique cologne is produced by the Bonny Doon Farm in the hills of Santa Cruz. Combining Spruce, Cedar, Rosemary, Verbana, Sage and Lavender oils, this cologne has a musky, almost apple scent that is a perfect match with a big wool sweater. I originally bought this for Rob but ended up using it often…
