I have officially started my own personal countdown to the Season 4 premiere of Gossip Girl – 10 days people! 10 days until we get visual overload of fashion fashion fashion (and a healthy does of drama, of course!). If you haven’t heard, Gossip Girls’ first couple of episodes take place in Paris. So now we get Parisian Fashion. I…

bang bang
This post is an ode to Bangs. Bangs are a huge part of my life. Throughout my 25 years I have had short bangs, long bangs, blunt straight bangs, wispy wavy bangs, sides-wept to the left bangs, side-swept to the right bangs, center bangs. You name the bang look, I’ve had it. This is partly…
bonfire of the vanities
I love pretty things that sit on vanities. Having them to look at and enjoy makes my morning (or midday, or evening) ritual of getting ready all the more special. Vintage-inspired perfume bottles, lotions and potions with lovely labels, vibrant colors of makeup to be put on with soft bristle brushes, and of course, Chanel….

lust lust lust
I was spending some quality time in blog land yesterday and stumbled upon some pictures that gave me seriously lust.

strawberry fields forever
One of my favorite summertime treats is fresh strawberry ice cream in a cone in the afternoon.

The business was started by a couple from Argentina (which, apparently, has amazing ice cream) and they make all of the…

what i wore: modern bohemian
On Sunday night, while I was still in Seattle with my family, my parents threw a dinner party for some old friends. What to wear was on my mind all weekend (I had my outfit picked out for the wedding that Saturday days before). I wanted to be cozy and warm with the chilly evening weather Seattle has been having lately, as well…
princess bride
My good friend Jackie got married to her Prince Charming, John, this past weekend in Seattle. It was a beautiful wedding (if not beautiful weather- it rained!). Jackie looked like a true princess in her Monique Lhuillier gown. I am impressed with her because she pretty much did everything for the wedding herself, right down…
heart shaped glasses
I woke up this morning and looked out my window only to see an overcast sky, yet again. The weather report on the news says even more days of gloom in San Francisco. Isn’t it August? This weather is making it hard to get out of bed. I wish I had these heart shaped sunglasses like my…
