What a fabulous name for cute pants – Super Trousers! Honestly, I think they deserve the title. I bought these pants on sale from French Connection yesterday and love them! Mine have tiny brown and blue pinstriping. Paired with some tall, brown Kenneth Cole pumps these pants make my legs look a mile long.

Last weekend felt entirely too short. With the weather taking a turn for the cold and foggy, I wasn’t feeling very motivated. On Friday night, Rob and I had planned to try out the new seafood restaurant in our neighborhood. It turns out that Woodhouse Fish Company was more expensive than we anticipated and we…

Nicole just alerted me to this great deal! If you are planning on seeing “The Break-Up” this weekend, book your tickets with Fandango using your MasterCard. The two companies have teamed up to offer a “buy one ticket, get one free” deal for this movie. With a movie ticket in San Francisco costing at least…

What a week! It seems like this summer is already flying by. Now if the wind would just stop, the weather outside would be ideal. Here are some of the things I learned this week: Shoe Wiz in the San Francisco Shopping Center does a great job but they are a little expensive. The Body…

Ah, the office! My home away from home. The start of summer serves as a reminder as to just how much time you spend at work. Luckily, I just finished a minor office remodel and my space is looking pretty nice. Here are my tips for a happy cubicle: Wicker baskets – This basket from…

Nicole’s at it again. So demanding! Here’s what my favorite unofficial editor has to say: I think you should do a cheap…but nice jewelry/accessory section. I need to accessorize more. Not too trendy…some things I could wear for a while. I love Banana’s accessories – they have a lot of them online now, but they…

For once I finally remembered to take a photo of one of my embroidery projects for this site! This baby blanket is being mailed off today to Rob’s sister. Her 4th baby boy is due on Friday. It’s a freehand design of a frog and lily pads using chain and back stitches. The frog came…

Along with my favorite ginger lemon creme cookies, I also love the Le Petit Ecolier chocolate biscuits. This is another box of cookies that I try to keep on hand for unexpected guests. The Carters originally introduced me to these cookies when I was about 6 years old. The Carters were the epitome of stylish…
