The other night I went to go see San Francisco Ballet perform Cinderella. I went with one of my childhood friends (we did ballet together for years) and our moms. It was a wonderful evening and beautiful performance; it went off without a hitch. So happy we were able to get tickets before they sold out! I wanted to dress up but I knew that it was going to be cold, it's SF...so I paired my Herve Leger dress with a boyfriend blazer, tights and patent leather Stuart Weitzman booties. I purchased the Herve Leger dress during a ... Read more...
Weekend Highlight: Kentucky Derby, CA style
I've been a bad blogger this weekend. Maybe it's because I was having too much fun, but I didn't take many pictures of the weekends festivities. The Kentucky Derby on Saturday, where the adventure getting to Golden Gate Fields in Berkeley (Cal Train -> Bart -> Shuttle to GGF) was about as much fun as the races themselves. Then Cinco de Mayo on Sunday, where I spent the afternoon with my best friend and her husband eating as much guacamole and Mexican food as our tummies would hold. It was hard to choose just one ...

Weekend Highlight: Art & SF
This weekend was quite eventful but the highlight for me was Sunday. I spent the morning at the De Young Museum with my mom, we saw the Girl with a Pearl Earring: Dutch Paintings from the Mauritshuis and Rembrandt's Century exhibits and then had lunch at the museum restaurant. Afterwards, we headed to Fillmore St. in Pac Heights for some shopping. I ran into an acquaintance, at one of my favorite boutiques and now have a possible new partnership for my blog (Eek!). Had dinner at SPQR before heading back home; a restaurant I ... Read more...
Refresh with Dry Shampoo
My friends have been talking to me about dry shampoo for years now. I thought, wow that's cool dry shampoo works for you but when do you workout?! Fitness is a big part of my life, it always has been. It also doesn't hurt that my hubby is an officer in the Marine Corps so I strive to look my best for him since he looks so good for me. So when I workout I sweat; the more I push myself the more I sweat and the better I feel afterwards. Dry shampoo couldn't possibly work for me, cause when would I workout?! I've decided to jump on the ... Read more...
Weekend Highlight
I, like everyone else, love the weekends because its time to spend with friends and family. The highlight of this weekend was going wine tasting with my dear friend Jessica, her BF Stephen and our moms. Whenever the four of us get together we always have a great time and S was an added bonus. It was Passport Weekend in Santa Cruz and we had a number of wineries to still stamp off our passports. We were able to hit up three local wineries tasting rooms since they were all in the same area (a plus for us.) Did anyone else ... Read more...
