Generra Fall 2010 - style.com
I’m a big fan of ruffles and I’m glad to see this trend carry on for another season! I already have several ruffle-adorned tops, but I can always make room for more…or perhaps branch out with a ruffled skirt or dress like the Generra one above?
Some of my favorite ruffled pieces, after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
San Fran, here I come!
So…I may need to change my blog’s name in the near future! Next week, I’m moving back to my old stomping grounds – the Bay Area. I accepted an editorial position with a *sweet* company in San Francisco (more deets to come), and I’m positively ecstatic! I’m jumping into a new, exciting chapter of my life. I will miss San Diego, especially the food and the friends – BIG emphasis on the friends. All of the sweet Facebook and Twitter messages have really touched me, and once I get settled I hope to have many SoCal (and farther!) visitors. I may be a bit too busy to blog extensively for the next couple weeks, but I’m not abandoning SharpinSanDiego – I promise! In fact, I hope to revamp the site soon, so stay posted!
Oh yea, and thank you to all ya’ll who have voted for me for #influenceSD! I really appreciate your support. And there’s still a month left, so tell your friends!

While watching the underwhelming Olympics opening ceremonies, all I kept thinking was, “just wait until they bust out the Cirque du Soleil!”…but instead we got beat poetry. I love Canada, but the country is home to one of the coolest, exciting, fun, beautiful entertainment events ever, and it didn’t even utilize it!
I may not have seen it on TV, but I’m going to see it in person tonight! Wahooo! We’re going to KOOZA at the Del Mar Fairgrounds…and I can’t wait to see the show that’s deemed a “return to the origins” of Cirque du Soleil.

I can’t believe that I haven’t put a post up yet about Con Pane! I used to be a five-minute walk away from this amazing Point Loma bakery, which was both awesome and dangerous. Now I’m more like a 20-minute drive away, but it doesn’t stop me.
I love everything about this place, which usually puts me in a predicament as I never know what I should get. Should I go the breakfast route with a steaming cup of coffee and a melty, gooey cinnamon roll? Should I get the sweet bread plate, which comes with several fresh slices of my choice, raspberry jam, butter and cream cheese? What about the chocolate bread?? Or the Gruyère and chive bread?? Or the SANDWICHES?? Yea, it can be stressful. Most of the time, I can’t deny the turkey sandwich. I get mine without the lettuce on the olive oil rosemary bread, with turkey, sun-dried Roma tomatoes and pesto-infused olive oil instead of mayo. And I always pair it with a cold coke. Since they don’t have ice, the soda cans are uber cold, and just taste better here than anywhere else.
Couple tips: Be prepared to wait in line on the weekends, and they take cash only, but don’t freak out, there are at least 4 banks right down the street. Currently, there is only one location, waaaaay down Rosecrans St., but keep an eye out for the new Con Pane in Liberty Station!
My dear friend, Ms. Pearce: soon to be a fellow blogger!
I feel justified in shamelessly promoting myself for two reasons: First off, I just wrote a post about all my lovely blogging friends, and secondly, I was up until all hours of the night selflessly helping a friend with her first blog. (JK, Lisa, you know I love it!)
But seriously, I heard about #influenceSD, a new media awards event, from my friend Anne at Bolt PR – which is nominated for the Agency of the Year award, BTW – and I think it’s great! I’m always curious about what other San Diego bloggers are up to…and now I have a whole list of them to check out! Also, if you want to vote for me in the Best in Lifestyle category, that would be nice as well. 
Thank you to everyone who reads my ramblings!

I just updated my Links section, and it reminded me how creative and entrepreneurial my friends are! I visit most of these sites on pretty much a daily basis, not just because I know the bloggers behind them, but because they are well-executed, informative and inspirational.
After the jump, some blogs/sites created by my photo takin’, music writin’, graphic designin’, surfin’, fashion wearin’ and cake bakin’ buddies! Read the rest of this entry »
Café Chloe's amazing pommes frites are only $4 during happy hour!
I’d thought I’d take this Monday, while I’m sitting at work reading all of my friends’ Tweets and Facebook statuses about how AMAZING this weather is and how AWESOME it is to have the day off, to share my favorite happy hour spots in San Diego. And hopefully I’ll be at one of them tonight.
After the jump, the deets on the deals. Read the rest of this entry »

This Valentine’s Day we are enjoying a couple unique-to-San Diego activities: the San Diego Symphony and SeaWorld. I’m ashamed to admit that in the six plus years I’ve lived here I have never been to SeaWorld! I can’t wait! We are also attending Valentine’s Day at the Pops, which we really enjoyed last year. It’s a “tribute to music for lovers,” and this year I noticed that a dance company is listed under special artists…so not sure what will entail.
What are you plans for this weekend? If you’re local, will you be enjoying the beautiful 70 degree weather?
