It took some financial bravado, but I retired my Bianchi and bought a gorgeous new European-style, eight-speed commuter Mixte bike from Public. The pangs of envy I would get when Id see them around t...
One of my favorite HGTV babes, Genevieve Gorder, just tweeted this pic of a new billboard in her neighborhood. Its a freakishly accurate map of my internal landscape at any given moment in my life, p...
My broke ass literally just pulled the trigger on this pricey antique wall tapestry from Azerbaijan. I think the hot pink is going to pair beautifully with my navy ikat sofa. Aesthetics aside, who th...
I met some nice friends on my recent vacation. Whether or not they stick around for the long haul remains to be seen. I thought I met some great peops last year in Hawaii, but I only really keep in t...
I want to be living in this caftan when I get to Mexico in a few days. How gorgeous! I cant believe its been a month since I last posted on this blog. Busy, I guess. Its strange to be living the...
Someone flashed me a shy, sexy grin the other day and now all I can think about is La Perla. Go figure.Image via
My second New Years resolution is to learn how to ballroom dance.(Did I tell you my first? "No TV until 6pm"--its going swimmingly, to my surprise.) Yesterday I had my first private lesson wi...
Did you know this about me? Im a trekker. Ive been trekking all over the world, for weeks at a time. My favorite traverse being the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal. I walked for three weeks, fell in love ...
I usually begin every year with hope, and to be honest, Im usually disappointed when I do the obligatory year-in-review. This year is no different. Im cautiously optimistic for a joyful, abundant, he...
Were both broke, but were headed downtown to check out the Christmas Eve sales anyway. Well probably build up an appetite (the act of coveting objects is a huge energy sink, after all), so were also ...
I die for these spunky X benches. (Sorry for the lack of holiday-themed blog posts, folks. Im a lifelong scrooge.)Image via
A beauty company which shall remain nameless sent a one-line email saying theyd like to talk to me about a freelance copywriter position, but that I need to take their edit test first. Immediately, I...
Behold my latest departure from design writing: a feature on three San Francisco YouTube sensations, in the holiday issue of 7x7. Blood, sweat, and tears I shed over this one, folks. It was intense. ...
When your apartment is an icebox and your fingers have no insulating fat on them whatsoever (unlike other parts of your body) and you have a job that requires you to type on your laptop all the live-...
Im mad for fuchsia these days. And since I missed out on these pants (they went like hotcakes in my size!), I opted for these jeans instead. I think theyll add some sass to my leopard-scarf-with-navy...
Just a quick note before my yoga class. I am crazy about this super-rich salty honey pie recipe from Four + Twenty Blackbirds. Its got intensely complicated flavor. I made it for our intimate Thanksg...
Confession: Ive given into Uggs. I now officially own a pair of the tall, clunky sheepskin boots in black. I swore I wouldnt ever pay a dime for them because I knew it was no coincidence that their n...
Do you repurpose your Thanksgiving leftovers into, say, casseroles or sandwiches, or do you eat them in their original incarnation, reheated? I do the latter.Image via Just Little Things
Do you ever read your stars? I do. According my horoscope, I should be having, like, the best month of my life. I think its exact words were "You are about to take your rightful place at the head...
All the hype about the new Muppet movie is reminding me of my rainbow connections:1)Growing up in Hawaii, Ive seen my fair share of prismatic arcs. Theyve always reminded me of pinkish watermelon rin...
A little hump-day pick-me-up. George in all his sexy salt-n-pepa finery. Just imagine him giving you that look as youre walking toward him down the aisle of matrimony. That should put a smile on your...
Over the course of six months, Marks sister Susie lost about 20 pounds on a gluten-free diet. When she arrived in San Francisco to visit us a few weeks ago, I hardly recognized her svelte form. Now I...
Weve just bid our house guest of two weeks, Marks sister Susie, goodbye! Surprisingly, we never ran out of things to show her. Ive come to learn that actually living in an international city is much ...
Come November 1, Ill be on a self-imposed hiatus from social media. Checking it constantly prevents me from being productive and I just dont like who I become when I post tweets and status updates--a...

Do you believe in signs? I do. My friends would tell you that I tend to force too much meaning onto seemingly mundane occurrences. They may be right. But since signs cannot possibly exist in a vacuum...
Ive never been to Baja, but that will all change come next February! I just booked a yoga retreat at Prana del Mar, led by my teacher, Christie Marshall. Considering the state of my finances, booking...
I love this picture of us on our way to Frances for my birthday dinner.
I forgot to tell you that I saw another great flick, Blue Valentine. Its layered and complicated, but if I had to wrap it up in a nutshell I would say that it was about the doomed relationship betwee...
