Tomboy Fashionista
Some of the most stylish women I know used to be tomboys. Maybe it’s their impish playful nature, or their tendency to think out of the box. New York based designer, Keller, has this playful-chic down to a delightfully fitted tee. It’s nice to know that you don’t have to be a young girl [...]
Safety First
I am a wood shop dropout. Against all feminist standings, I could never help squealing like a little girl every time I got even close to the table saw. I couldn’t even touch it. Safety glasses are another big hurdle in my wood shop experience. I could never wear them with a straight face. [...]
Today’s Attire : Red Red Ready
Yesterday was my first venture out into everyday German life. It was cool, going to the market for the first time in a foreign country is always such a fun experience. Since I’m trying to learn how to speak German, I learned all kinds of new words walking around, it was nice. I also [...]
Beautiful Tuesdays : Get Ready for the Lipstick Effect
What could lipstick possibly have to do with economic indicators? A lot, according to The Lipstick Effect. Huh? Does that refer to to matte vs. cream, or maybe, lip sheer over lip stain? Not quite.
Kisses for the Economy
The Lipstick Effect aka the Leading Lipstick Indicator says that consumers will indulge in less-expensive feel-good items in [...]
Today’s Attire : Bundled
I have arrived. Well, to Germany… yesterday afternoon, we landed. It has been a stressful couple of weeks, dwindling all my possessions to a few suitcases and my bike.
It was hard to part with all of my belongings, but I have to say that it’s a cleansing act… when I think of it, I don’t [...]
This little girl is a natural in 5-inch heels…
Kids never cease to amaze me. I know, when kids are related to you, they seem to be smarter… today I was amazed by my little niece. A year ago I shared with you how I learned how to walk in high heels, as a girl, you couldn’t turn your back without me digging [...]
Today’s Attire : Suburbia
Today is my sister’s birthday. We’re at my parent’s house to celebrate, and it’s cool to see them. It’s also really strange to be back in suburban Southern California… after all, that’s where I grew up. It’s so different here than my old home in San Francisco and even more different from the life in [...]
In Lieu of Ordinary Attire
It’s no secret that over the years I’ve been a dedicated patron of the Polk Street boutiques, and I’ll miss the likes of Mascara Vintage, Bella Cose, Anica and of course In Lieu. In the past few months I’ve become friends with Christina Claypool owner of this boutique. She’s certainly passionate about finding high quality [...]
Views of California from the road…
Rocky and I have been on the road for what seems like three days straight. Driving down to my parents house in Southern California was particularly beautiful this time. Perhaps I’ve never been down the I-5 in spring? The hills are green and the clouds were particularly puffy. Just such a nice treat for the [...]
Auf Wiedersehen San Francisco…
I am so sorry for being out of touch lately. It’s been crazy this week… going around the city doing things, and feeling like I still have tons to do.
This isn’t my first international move, in 2000 I moved from San Francisco to London, and three years later I returned. So, I’m feeling like this [...]
