Rob and drove down to San Luis Obispo on Friday night for a weekend visit with our friends and family. I optimistically packed a bikini, a couple t-shirts and not much else. The weather on Saturday was, of course, foggy and cold! Our first stop downtown on Saturday was my favorite designer consignment shop, Finders…

The cheapo cardboard case I’ve been using to store my make-up has officially died. I think it was originally from one of the lotion and soap gift baskets? After six months of living under the sink on the bathroom floor, who can blame it? Time to invest in a new house for my cosmetics. What…

How is it possible that this week was even busier than last week?! It’s almost May?! Where does the time go?! I know I keep saying it, but I really hope next week is a bit more relaxed. Here are a few things I learned during this extremely packed week: Bicycle seats at the gym…

My friends Mike and Thea just came back from a trip to Australia and New Zealand. During their travels they encountered this store proclaiming “Russian is so hot right now” and emailed it to me immediately. If the Aussies say so, it must be true! Actually, it’s not just down under. Others agree. Handbag.com has…

This is the most beautiful shoe I have ever seen. Thank you Marc Jacobs. I have the perfect black pencil skirt to go with these shoes. Now if I only had $350, too!

I am attending a conference on Wednesday and Thursday and won’t be around to post delightful little quips and links for you lovelies. Sorry about that! You can post comments below if you simply must tell me something. Maybe I’ll get Nicole (aka Ms. A) to guest blog!

Rob and I are taking BART to Berkeley this evening for a big night out with none other than Dan Rather! Ooo la la! Mr. Rather is speaking to the Commonwealth Club tonight about “What is happening to the American media.” He’s covered every major election since 1964 and should have some very interesting things…
