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…

… 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…

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…
en vogue (literally…)
I’m literally en Vogue! Okay not me per se… but my hometown is! Bainbridge Island, where I grew up, is featured in this month’s Vogue (June, Penélope Cruz) in their ‘America the Beautiful’ chic getaway feature on pg 135! Kinda crazy as our little island feels like a beautiful little unknown secret part of the…
