On the rocks
I’m the first to admit, these booties are a bit on the crazy side. And that’s why I love them! They punch up any outfit. I paired them with a chunky, oversize sweater, and added some teal accessories to accentuate that pop of color. I put this outfit together while I was visiting my parents…

Fashion looks ~ All the leaves are brown
I’ve finally come to terms with the fact that our Indian Summer was short-lived, and unsatisfactory. It was an upsetting realization, but I felt a little happier when I pulled out my pretty winter coats. Etre sent me these cute gloves, and while they may look like your normal designed in the British Isles gloves,…

Santa Barbara Trip
Last month I took a trip down to Santa Barbara with some of my friends from grad school. One of them is getting his PhD at UCSB, so we used it as an excuse to reunite in paradise. I’d never been, and it was absolutely gorgeous. Some day when I retire filthy rich, it’ll be…

Fashion Looks ~ Teal Appeal
UNIQLO recently opened a store in SF, touting itself as the “Japanese H&M,” and it was kind of a big deal. There was a blimp and everything. I went to check it out, and they had me at, “Hello, $20 brightly colored pants.” Sold! I got these teal ones, but could easily end up with…

Fashion Looks ~ Flowers on your doorstep
As you may have seen in a recent ootd post, I’m totally in love with these pants. The floral pattern is so fun and they’re dark enough that they’re appropriate for fall. When I was searching for shoes to wear in this outfit post, I put these pointy pink babies on and loved how they…

Fashion Looks ~ Little Red
I found this little dress at Marmalade, an adorable boutique in the Marina. The bright pop of coral color felt a bit springy, so I added neutral boots to match the current fall weather. When these sunglasses showed up on my doorstep from Firmoo the timing felt perfect–I had just finished watching My Week with…

Fashion Looks ~ Lady from the sea
It was craycray windy in Sea Ranch, but the setting just begged an outfit shoot. Gorgeous scenery, isn’t it? I love wind shots because you’ll have 50 that look insane (like, girl from The Ring or The Grudge in a wind tunnel insane), and then one or two that turn out fab. The 48 insane…

Pumpkin carving! (Here’s a tip: Use a stencil)
When your boyfriend is an architect and ridiculously artistic, it’s easy to get discouraged when he whips up stupidly awesome pumpkins like this Billy Mays one… I mean come on. It looks like something Martha Stewart would put on her website. Geez. If you’re not as handy with the pumpkin carving tools as he is,…
