Things I love today: Brie

When you are having a bad day, you sometimes just need to spoil yourself in order to break out of the funk. After missing the bus and breaking my sunglasses this morning, the rest of my day has been rather sour. Chocolates and lattes would be nice, but for me it’s all about the cheese.…
Domino Magazine

Domino Magazine

I can’t be the only one who feels this way…I am a Domino Magazine subscriber and, although I like this mag’s design ideas and tips, I am starting to hate it. You see, Domino loves to feature the same breed of wealthy and fabulous young women in each issue. 27 year old interior designers, business…
Recipe: My favorite cobb salad

Recipe: My favorite cobb salad

One of my most frequent cravings is for a cobb salad. It’s the thing I always order on a menu in a strange restaurant! Mmm. I could go for a cobb salad and an iced tea right now! For dinner this weekend, I made a huge cobb salad following my “secret recipe.” I’m not sure…

Vote for Mojito

My friend Nicole has recently entered her dog in the Old Navy mascot contest. Almost 120,000 dogs are entered in this contest already. Mojito should have a good chance at winning. He is the cutest long-haired chihuhua I know! Here’s a link to his Old Navy profile. Go Mojito!

Bliss is spending the weekend in a bikini, sweater and pair of jeans! I bought this featherweight cotton sweater in honeydew from J. Crew on Saturday and wore in Sausalito on Monday (remember your student ID for a discount at J. Crew). Paired with a bright bikini, a white tank, comfy old jeans, big sunglasses…
Weekend round-up: Memorable memorial day

Weekend round-up: Memorable memorial day

I didn’t think this city could be more fun that Bay to Breakers last weekend. Boy, was I wrong! Memorial Day weekend was by far the best weekend we’ve had so far! Saturday morning, Jean and I went on a shopping extravaganza downtown. Zara, Macy’s, Club Monaco, Nordstrom and lunch at Boudin before heading over…

Things I love today: Victorian brooch

Isn’t this pin just lovely? It’s about an inch wide and on sale for $400 from FayCullen.com According to the site, it was “made in England circa 1880-1890.” I know, brooches are technically so very “fall 2004.” But how can something so perfect be out of fashion. I love the idea of this broach on…

Urban girl almanac

The windy weather in San Francisco this week has kicked up a big allergy storm. Along with sneezing, I’ve also been rocking some new spring outfits and having a lot of fun. Here are some of the lessons I learned this week: It takes a few days to recover from Bay to Breakers. Vintage style…
To Do: Free opera on Saturday

To Do: Free opera on Saturday

The San Francisco Opera is hosting a free simulacast of Madame Butterfly on Saturday night. It’s opening night for their summer season. It’s not as fun as getting dressed up for the real opening night, but it is certainly much cheaper. There is something very “bohemian” about watching from outside the opera house! Bring a…
Sale Alert: PB Teen

Sale Alert: PB Teen

You’ve got to love Pottery Barn Teen. It’s like the perfect offspring of Pottery Barn and Urban Outfitters. Fun and quirky, but with quality. Por ejemplo: this lovely carved wood mirror with a shelf. It comes in green and white. At $29, I think it would be a great item to put outside your house…
