2016 is just around the corner. It’s hard to believe another year has passed and it’s time once again to flip that page on the calendar. Even if this digital age where appointments and schedules are kept on phones and computers, I still like to have a wall calendar with nice images throughout the year. … More 2016 Calendar
I picked up this wool blazer at Zara a few weeks ago. I have worn it a couple of times to work. It’s really comfortable and soft. I reached for it again as we headed out to meet some friends for lunch. There is a pleat in the back of the blazer that gives it … More Zara Plaid Blazer
I love to go out every year and check out the decorations and lights around the city. In Union Square, we arrived just as the switch was flipped to light the tree. What timing? Up and down Market Street, snowflakes are mounted on light poles. They create a very festive atmosphere. They are hard to … More Christmas in San Francisco.
I didn’t come around to actually liking oysters until earlier this year on a trip to Charleston, SC. In the atmosphere of open-air restaurants, a warm breeze, and the vacation – anything-goes spirit, I decided oysters were a food I NEEDED to try. They were better than I thought they’d be.

It is a former federal army post dates back to the Civil War, but also used by Native Americans, the Spanish and Mexico. Today, much of it is preserved as park lands, and … More San Francisco’s Presidio
With the temperatures dropping lately I have been pulling out my faux fur blankets. They are so comfy. You can wrap yourself up and stay warm all evening. As I have been pulling the blankets out, I was reminded of the past summer sitting outside with a glass of wine in the Dolomites, in Italy. … More Fur (oh so faux)
Here we are already at the end of November, hard to believe. According to the calendar, it’s still fall, so I thought I’d post one of my typical fall outfits. It’s a very comfortable outfit. It’s made up of my J.Crew turtleneck, Kut from the Kloth boyfriend jeans (that I received from Stitch Fix), … More November Outfit
I wore this plaid dress recently to a family get together. It’s all Banana Republic, the shoes and the dress. I got it for about half the tagged price, so I thought it was a good deal. It was a beautiful day, so I could actually wear it without a sweater for most of the … More Banana Republic Plaid Dress
