It’s been over 20 years in the making, but it’s finally happened. We just moved into our Forever House over Thanksgiving week. It couldn’t be more fitting that we moved that week because there is so much to be thankful for. We are right next door to the house I grew up in and the […]

This week we were so excited to get a sneak peek of the brand new American Girl store that’s opening this weekend at the Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto. I’m not totally sure why we were so excited because neither my daughter nor I had ever actually seen an American Girl doll in person […]

This week I’m craving a fashionably cool and refreshing Karl Lagerfeld-designed Diet Coke, like these I saw at Harvey Nichols: I’m so embarrassed to admit that I’m back on the black stuff after abstaining for an entire decade, but sleep-deprivation has met its match in this boldly-bottled beverage. If this diet drink helped Karl Lagerfeld […]

Since I’m loving weddings this week, I thought I would share the perfect look for your next black-tie or formal affair. This outfit took me through three events this summer, including a ballroom black-tie wedding, an outdoor wine country wedding, and a fancy dinner on the town, and will no doubt take you straight through […]
