It has been BALMY here in the Bay Area! So on Friday, when I had plans to meet a friend for a fitting in the City (more on that in another post, I promise), light-and-airy was the wardrobe mode of the day. I love a green and blue color palette, so this dress – complete […]
This was one of those looks that even I’ll admit has me scratching my head. Did I really wear that? Yes, I most certainly did. I wore it last week for coffee with a friend, then to see another friend’s dance performance. I was wondering why I got a free drink at the performance; now […]
Last weekend, one of my best friends had her bachelorette party (or “Final Flamingle,” as we called it, since the bride has a thing for flamingos!) up in the Sonoma wine country. And O. M. G. was it a blast! Her sister, one of the Great Organizers of All Time, arranged everything with the help […]
Palm print is absolutely everywhere nowadays, including at our latest family barbecue. There is something slightly campy about a palm print, isn’t there? Maybe that’s why it’s such a fun choice for summer, a time when we indulge in a lighthearted sentimentality that takes us back to summer camps or vacations of yore. We had […]
It’s crazy to me how only a few years ago (“a few” meaning like, 15) I would have never worn a jumpsuit. They seemed tacky to me, or maybe just corny. Like something out of an ABBA video or a Burt Reynolds calendar. But as we know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder […]
Ready for a good old fashioned wedding guest outfit of the day? I briefly posted this on Instagram following the wedding, but I loved the look so much that I wanted to devote a post to it. Rodrigo and I got to celebrate one of my best friends from high school, Emily, marrying her college […]
I went braless for a day, and the world didn’t fall apart. Not only that, but I went braless to a meeting. Like, with a real, important businesslady who politely scheduled a meeting time with me in a very civilized and sophisticated manner. Granted, it was at a coffeeshop by the BART station, but still. […]
Hello there! I’ve had this fun and spicy look of the day in my back pocket for awhile now, and wanted to share it with you in between the heavier couture reviews. Who doesn’t love a little neon bodycon action? Back in June, the consignment giant ThredUp opened a retail location smack dab in the […]
How was your Fourth of July? We spent ours here in the Bay, taking it easy with friends and family. A longtime family friend has a beautiful property in Walnut Creek, and every year they host a barbeque. It’s a wonderful excuse to get together and catch up! Fourth of July calls for laid-back, comfy […]
Are you a gingham person? I hadn’t given it much thought, to be honest. In the back of my mind, I associated it with Dorothy, Lady and the Tramp, and summertime picnics. It didn’t feel “fashiony”. Then I saw this dress/jacket/kimono/??? from the brand Acler. On the hanger, it looked like a craft project gone […]
