outside lands 2017 hat

August 24, 2017

Lots of compliments on the hat I wore to Outside Lands this year.  Thanks!

emily henderson's new patio

August 19, 2017

How much do you love this charming patio?  Emily Henderson did a great job taking an outdoor grassless space that was blah into the shining star of her home.  The part that steals the show in my opinion is the gorgeous tile.

Totally different style from Kate Middleton.  Moving from polished & put together to bohemian and effortless.  Kate Moss embodies the French je ne sais quoi I just rolled out of bed like this look.  Messy sexy

rompers: still in style for summer 2017

August 11, 2017

You know that one dress that you end up wearing all the time?  It always fits-even if you are 5 pounds up of 5 pounds down.  You can wear with flats for a casual lunch or with wedges out to dinner.  You throw it on with flip flops to go to the grocery store.  Your romper will be like that.

fitness trend: forest bathing

August 7, 2017

What?  Taking a bath in the woods?  This sounds weird.

Forest bathing is the practice of taking a short, leisurely visit to a forest for health benefits.  The practice originated in Japan where it is called shinrin-yoku.

Why do we need to go to the forest?  Think about it.  Our ancestors did not spend this much

tibetan mastiff in dolores park

August 6, 2017

Ok, besides our family dogs growing up and Nala, this may be my favorite dog I've ever met.

I met this cutie in Dolores Park in 2013.  I thought I wrote down her owner's email address correctly, but either he is frightened of me or I missed a letter, because he has not responded to my requests to hang with this dog again or connect with his breeder.
