Dancing in my head

Although trimmed trees and eggnog are nice…my favorite holiday tradition involves tutus and a Sugar Plum Fairy. I just received my tickets for The San Francisco Ballet’s Nutcracker performance in the mail, which means the holiday season is right around the corner!

Now this is just crazy…

You may recall reading {see a few posts below} that I went to the Rose Bowl flea market down in Pasadena this past Sunday for the first time… Well, I was just checking My Polaroid Blog and it seems that Jen bought the very bag I was eyeing!! {I passed it up as I have way too many little clutch size handbags.} Now really, what are the odds of that? There must have been 10,000 bags at that show! I love what a small world it is.

We all need a little Sprinkle in our life

I have always been a fan of Sprinkles Cupcakes in Los Angeles, and now that they’ve opened their first location in Northern California- in Palo Alto!- I’m super excited! When you go, promise me you’ll try their red velvet cupcakes. The cream cheese frosting is perfection.

LA Weekend…

Erin Rosenow and I made a super quick trip to LA this past weekend for a shoot, but managed to squeeze in some serious fun at the Chateau {wouldn’t be a trip to LA without it!} and the Rose Bowl {my first time- and it was amazing!!} Why don’t I make more weekend trips down south?

Smitten

The wonderful Joanna Goddard of A Cup of Jo and Glamour Magazine’s Smitten, asked me to create the first in her City Guide for Glamour Girls series (stylish guides to top US cities on a budget).  I have to say, I love playing tour guide for San Francisco, so I was thrilled!  See the feature on Smitten right here.

Roberta Freymann

This is one store worth trekking uptown for- the Roberta Freymann store on the Upper East Side stocks the most gorgeous globally-inspired designs and finds from all over the world. I found sexy sequin knit tops, rhinestone chandelier earrings that were just about complete perfection, and a bib necklace that would make every outfit special.
