If you’re interested in joining our team, we are now looking for our next round of interns! It’s a 3 day per week, 6 month long internship here at our boutique PR agency in Berkeley, Ruby Press. Learn more about us here and more about the actual internships here. {Please read carefully for how to apply and who to contact.} We need one intern to start in later this month and the other two could start a tad later…
Check out the new Beehive Market in Berkeley, each Saturday from 10-2 at 1701 San Pablo Avenue, and shop local, sustainable businesses from Scream Sorbet to Hiroko Kurihara’s gorgeous and socially responsible knits…
If you live in the Bay Area, you’re in luck! We’re throwing an event- an ‘Indian Shopping Soiree’ celebrating John Robshaw- with Trove on August 12th, from 5 to 8 pm and you’re invited! {See details below.} Just RSVP and make sure you say you saw the invite on the Ruby Press Blog.
Not familiar with Trove?? It’s an insider secret- an amazing home decor and furniture outlet in Berkeley, right off Gilman Street. I’ve bought so many chic things there…
I’ll be there with the fabulous Ruby Press team- hope to meet you at the party!
xxMelissa
P.S. The invite was designed by the fabulous Liz Siverts!
Jen from The Haystack Needle blog asked me if I’d contribute a guest post to her blog for the this week, and of course I obliged!! The theme is West Coast Love, and my post is about what I love about San Francisco… Check it out here! Thanks Jen! xx
If you’re an NYC dweller and haven’t been to Old Village Hall yet in the East Village, today is THE day to pop by. Welcome Fitzgerald Thursdays- a weekly reward to those spending the summer weekends in the city.
Browse Scott Hill’s silk screened beauties, masterfully edited antiques and locally crafted gems and meet the man himself. See something you like? Just mention “Fitzgerald” for an instant 20% discount and score one of Hill’s totes for free if you spend $150-a $25 value.
{If you happen to be there after 4pm, indulge in a complimentary mint julep or gin and tonic while you shop-it’s summertime after all!}
How is it that the cupcake trend has been going strong for over ten years now? I’m always amazed… and am currently dying to check out the new American Cupcake in San Francisco. Lynn from Paris Hotel Boutique told me she thought of me when she wrote this post. Cotton candy cupcakes, bubblegum cupcakes…so up my alley! {Lynn knows me well!}
Attention all pregnant readers in the SF Bay Area! We are working with style expert/author Amy Tara Koch on her upcoming Bump It Up book signing/party at the W Hotel on May 26th and take it from me, a woman with a 13 lb pregnant belly!, this will be an event not to miss!
I’ve read the book and it’s the cutest guide to staying your chic self while your belly is rapidly expanding…sketches from great designers like Donna Karan and DVF, as well as tips from NY fashion editors, some of them, coincidentally, my old friends!
Of course Amy {who is hilarious, by the way} will be signing books, but there will also be pampering spa treatments from Bliss Spa, skincare treats from Mama Mio, a “Faux Glow” bar from Lancome {Amy swears that the ‘pregnancy glow’ is an urban legend!}, bra fitting and “4th trimester” shapewear seminar brought to you by Wacoal, car seat and stroller demos by Britax, and of course yummy treats in the way of cupcakes from Sprinkles and delish mocktails.
{Just RVSP to rsvpwsfevents@whotels.com to join us- I’ll be there! And you don’t have to be pregnant to come, of course…}
