My sartorial and beauty obsessions du jour! For whatever reason, this post took a turn for the patriotic. I have decided to run with it, as it still is the month of our country’s independence, after all… White Hot Last week my friend Rachel and I found ourselves in an in-depth and strategic conversation about…

wandering in wonderland
The day before I left Seattle, Mom and I decided to take a leisurely post-lunch stroll through the beautiful Bloedel Reserve estate and gardens near our home. In search of the hidden reflection pool (where poet Theodore Roethke famously drowned in 1963), we wound through moss and Japanese rock gardens, ponds and willow trees and…
in glittery bliss
… miss kate moss got married this weekend to jamie hince (of ‘the kills’) in a 3 day affair in the cotswolds. the bride wore glittery galliano (and the groom YSL). i am going to kindly ignore the controversy of the dress designer and instead focus on the dress itself. inspired by zelda fitzgerald, totally…
fashion's picasso
On Tuesday, I finally made it to ‘Balenciaga and Spain’ exhibit at the De Young Museum in Golden Gate Park, on a field trip with work. I adored the exhibit, I really couldn’t get enough. I found myself just standing there and staring at his work, in awe. I actually didn’t know that much about…

I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea Sometimes I turn, there’s someone there, other time it’s only me I am hanging in the balance of the reality of man Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand. -Bob Dylan, ‘Every Grain of Sand’ When living in downtown San Francisco it is…
snapshots L.A.
… here are some of my snapshots from my trip to L.A. last week! Raybans (and pink faux fur sofas), mint green storefronts, palm trees and other succulents, clothes clothes and more clothes shopping, afternoon poolside margaritas, an armful of bright bracelets and goofy hotel room self portraits. I’m back in the office today, but…
sun is shining, weather is sweet
Happy official Summer everyone! I am so in love with this weather we’re having – it’s almost too good to be true for the traditionally summer challenged SF. Unfortunately, I am currently in L.A., and while I am of course still in the sun, it is kind of sad to be missing this daily view…
lady of the sea
Sometimes I just don’t understand why I wasn’t born a mermaid (in fact, sometimes I think I was one in a past life). Alas, as a current lady of the land I can only dream, and dress like one occasionally (cue prom dress, halloween costume, and this outfit)… I love the watercolor mermaid tail effect of this…
spearmint
On a lazy Sunday afternoon break from the neon brights trend, I went for a subdued and calming icy blue color palette. These pretty nail polishes remind me of the original Hard Candy baby blue, just a little more 2011 (and more sophisticated 26 than girlish 14). Palette Cleansing indeed. nail polish: Chanel ‘Riva’, Butter London ‘Lady Muck’ (what…
