Shelly passed on some adorable photos from the November and December San Francisco Ladies Activity Club parties. In November, we made raviolli from scratch and in December Jill hosted a gingerbread house party. I am so happy that the LAC is working out well. We just passed out six month mark and have great plans…

Thanks to our friends over at Acme Labs, we have the power to create digital conversation hearts of our choosing! I discovered this awesome online tool when I was making custom conversation hearts with credit card themed messages for work last week. Exercise your brain coming up with mini haikus of four-letter two-word messages. Enjoy!

Spring is here and it’s time to emerge from my wool-tweed-turtleneck cocoon and start wearing actual cute clothes again. Actual clothes like skirts and dresses. Especially, wrap dresses. DVF had it right when she started mass producing these dresses in the 1970’s. They are delightful! They are comfortable! So comfortable that it appears you can…

Uggg…I was home sick yesterday with a cold. Not feeling perky today. I believe I may have laryngitis and I have to admit my voice is kind of sultry (how’s that for silver lining!). Anyway, for the few hours I was actually awake yesterday I wanted nothing more than a big cold glass of water.…

Did you know that you can buy tickets to the San Francisco Ballet’s performance of Swan Lake for only $10? On Friday or Saturday nights, the tickets are as low as $15. Men in tights, frilly costumes, romantic story line…what more could a girl ask for! I’m going on February 1 and splurged on tickets…

Once again I have managed to not quite make it to the San Francisco Wholesale Flower Market. This is about the sixth time I have planned to go and somehow ended up off track. Oh well! My plan was to buy huge bouquets of tulips and peonies but I am settling for calla lilies instead.…

After potting my icebox tulips last night, I was left with 3/4 of a bag of pumice gravel. It’s fairly attractive stuff. I feel like there must be some way to use it instead of throwing it away. Quick, put on your Martha-Stewart-Thinking-Caps and come up with something clever! All I can think of is…

Happy National Pie Day! That’s right: “Created by the American Pie Council, National Pie Day is dedicated to the celebration of pie.” Apparently my office is very in to Pie Day. We have five pies in the kitchen (I recommend olallieberry) and I’m already on my second piece of the day. Plus, a bunch of…

Spring is here! Okay, I could be wrong…again. But it definitely looks like spring outside. I am celebrating by finally planting those white tulip bulbs last night and wearing my favorite pale green ballerina skirt to work today. I am also celebrating by switching up my make-up from the browns and coppers of winter to…

Taking a cue from my favorite fashion blog, Bunnyshop, today is the debut of the “Friday’s perfect thing” feature on EmilyStyle.com. Today’s perfect thing: a gorgeous gold, diamond and emerald cabochon cocktail ring from the 1930’s. I have no idea what it costs but it is perfect. Wouldn’t it be lovely paired with a simple…
