December Cover

Oooh, can’t wait to get my hands on the December British Vogue

This weekend…

was the first rain of the season in the SF Bay Area…I think the last rain we saw was in May?! It’s okay though- perfect excuse for buying these gorgeous aqua blue wellies {exclusively made by Hunter for British store Fortnum & Mason} and getting a roaring fire going in the fireplace!


Violette and bubbles

My good friend Dani {who has great taste, I might add} came over for drinks on Saturday night {she just came back from Paris and we needed to catch up} and she brought a bottle of this Violette liqueur. We added a splash to a glass of champagne and I can’t even tell you how divine it was. And the color- it turns the champagne a pale lilac color that is gorgeous.

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.

Happy Halloween!

In Love with Lorick

It is no secret that I am obsessed with Gossip Girl and if I could trade wardrobes with anyone in the world, it would be Blair Waldorf. When I discovered that Abigail Lorick was the mastermind behind Eleanor Waldorf’s “designs” on the show, I fell in love with her ENTIRE Spring ‘09 collection. Here are a few of my favorites!
