That Dress.

Have you ever owned a piece of clothing that just makes you feel like a million bucks? You can dress it up or dress it down, but no matter what - you know you look good in it. That's the feeling I get whenever I slip on my favorite A.L.C. dress. Between the luxurious fabrics & fine attention to detail, this piece is quickly becoming an essential I'm amazed I've lived without until now.

I can't wait to flip it to the striped side and pair with bright accessories. Oh yeah, it's reversible ♥

Channeling my inner-Gisele. I know what your thinking, the similarity is uncanny ;)

Any day that begins at a fashion show fundraiser for JLSF and ends with a crab martini at the Crow's Nest is pretty much perfect in my book. More to come on yet another fabulous weekend at the beach....

Home Opening Day.

An SF Giants gal always needs to be prepared.

How adorable are these mittens?!

Happy Orange Friday!!

Happy Feet.

When the weather is as lovely as it was in Santa Cruz this past weekend, a large chunk of time is spent outdoors walking Ziggy. Whether it be the beach or a miles long adventure to Starbucks, most of our time is spent on foot {or paws}. So when my mom and I came across an establishment dedicated solely to foot massages, we had to inquire within. Soon we found ourselves in a dark movie theater-type room full of padded shayz lounges. Not only did I experience the foot massage of a lifetime, they hit all other pressure points - hands, shoulders, back, arms and face..?   Ok, the face part was a little awkward, but all-in-all a pretty interesting experience.

I'd go back. They have a punch card.

Just Doing What We Do.

It's no secret, I'm a BIG {fan of pretending to be a} foodie (see here, here and here). For those who know me well, know that when I find something I like - I'm pretty much obsessed (see you later today, @cremebruleecart). My mom is the exact same way, so when we arrived at the Rock Room for a drink before dinner to find the best table available, we quickly forgot about our dinner plans and planted ourselves in the 2 cozy chairs right in front of the fire place. Talking, laughing, people watching, drinking wine over some chevre and baby beets - just doing what we do.

Plus, I have a certain affinity towards places with yellow rose stain glass.
