In San Francisco, you can never have too many coats! My hunt for good outerwear continues all summer long! At kickball a few weeks ago, I saw a girl wearing an adorable white cropped peacoat. Her coat was trimmed with green stitching and probably came from a tiny boutique on Hayes. I asked Jean to…

Oh Gump’s! Why do you have to be such a wonderful purveyor of expensive goods? I am currently obsessed with these peony decoupage plaques from your online store. I know that it is completely unreasonable to pay $135 for one of these to hang in my bathroom. Yet…I still want it. And maybe this turquoise…

I felt like such a PTA parent last night! Jean came over around 7:00 and we proceeded to bake around 100 cupcakes for her Ladies Activity Club Party tonight. One batch each of chocolate, white, funfetti and toxically-pink strawberry cake! Our measuring wasn’t very even and we burned a few cupcakes (and a few fingers),…

L’Occitane is my all time favorite soap/lotion/candle store! But their normal prices could make a sailor blush. Take advantage of one of their rare sales to stock up on your favorite French goods. On their site, you can even sort by percentage discount! The deals are incredible: Guest soaps (sold out) – Box of 12…

The June Ladies Activity Club party is tomorrow! Jean is hosting a cupcake decorating event for about 12 of the members. We have a lot of baking to do tonight in preparation. Jean also just sent over a few photos from last month’s LAC party. Betsy hosted the May bowling event at Yerba Buena Lanes.…

What a perfect weekend! The weather was lovely, we threw a party and I had some wonderful time to relax. It all started with the “Evening Brunch” party on Friday night. A quiet dinner for four quickly turned into eight (and we almost had ten). Bloody mary’s and bagels with lox were set out for…

Oh my! Could the weather outside possibly be any nicer? We don’t get many days like this in San Francisco…I need to get out there and enjoy it! Anyway, let’s get on with this week’s urban girl lessons: If Safeway is crowded and you just need cash back, go to the Starbucks counter and buy…

Visit the Asian Art Museum for free this Saturday or Sunday. The museum is celebrating it’s 40th anniversary this weekend and opening it’s doors to the public for free. This is a fabulous museum! Wear sneakers because it is huge and plan on having lunch in their great cafe. Also, the gift shop has some…

I am so tired from a week packed full of superfun activities and small annoyances. Truly, TGIF because I wouldn’t make it another day! I usually try to refrain from using this blog to air grievances, but I am grumpy this morning and convinced that it will help. Here are a few of things I…

For the first time in a few weeks, it is actually gorgeous and warm outside in San Francisco today! Summer weather means summer pajamas. Usually, I am a satin pj kind of girl. But during the warmer months they are a little too much. When it is warm, I switch over to Honeydew camis and…
