Splendid store opening
Hey Bay Area friends! I am co-hosting a fun store opening- the new Splendid boutique at Corte Madera- on Saturday, September 8th, and I would love to see you there! If you can come, just make sure to RSVP to the address below. Check out the new fall Splendid lines for women, men, and kiddies alike, and join in the cool craft-making. {Kids welcome!}
Hope to see you! I’ll be there from 12:00-2:30!

George & Ruby
I love raising our son in the SF Bay Area- there are so many fun places to take him, such delicious food for him to sink his teeth into….but sometimes I wonder how different Sammy’s life would be if we lived in my old hometown of Manhattan. We get a tiny glimpse into it when we travel with him to NYC twice a year for work, but this chic blog {written by Oscar de la Renta’s Creative Director} that is too good to be called a ‘mommy blog’, feels like an east coast version of our lives sometimes. Maybe it wouldn’t be so radically different- Sammy also loves a carousel, travels around in a singleton version of the same tangerine stroller, plays with the same cool-kid apps, and loves the same shoes?
Big Spoon Roasters
What’s the only thing that could make an afternoon snack of peanut butter toast better? If it was peanut pecan butter toast with Big Spoon Roasters’ Peanut Pecan Butter. (Or Peanut Cocoa Butter, Peanut Cashew Butter….)

Summers in Oakland
In the Bay Area, we revel in our extended summers- warm weather often reaches far into September and I have already been taking full advantage! After work, I love to head to a restaurant with outside seating and just enjoy the sun setting on the Oakland skyline. {Love Lake Chalet where you can sit out on the dock below!} With all the new, cool restaurants and hangouts in Oakland there is much to love about living here. I know I’m still dying to try this, this– Oh, and this!

Bloom Theory 101
Maybe it’s that I was on the school dance team, but I just can’t get enough sequins {…or glitter, or rhinestones!!}. These beautiful Bloom Theory camera straps are just so fun- and so perfect for my favorite extracurricular activity, photography. Definitely something I could see becoming a staple in my weekend uniform.
