The blog is officially Sharp in the City! Check out my new About Me Page.

Life has been wonderful, stressful, busy, beautiful and exciting. I have missed blogging (here, that is), but once things settle down into a rhythm, I will be back in full swing. After the jump, what I’ve been up to lately: (more…)

Painting Accessories

22 Mar

My favorite sunglasses; Teresa's adorable purse

A couple weekends ago we had some wonderful old – and I mean that in regards to how long we’ve known them :) – friends in town and spent the time together relaxing by the beach, shopping, eating wonderful food and painting. I thought I’d put up a couple of tiny watercolor paintings I did that were inspired by our accessories lying around. (I did these in my pocket watercolor Moleskine – love!)

Time for a Watch

21 Mar

Chain Wrap Watch ($108) - shopbop.com

I have issues with jewelry. I always see people that can pile on the pieces just right, but when I try to emulate the look, I always end up taking most of it off before heading out the door – usually sticking to a simple necklace and my faux diamond earrings. One thing I’m especially in need of is a nice watch, and now that I’m a slave to the clock – running between multiple means of public transit every day – I feel it’s time to purchase that staple piece of jewelry.

La Mer’s wrap watches, like the chain one pictured, really appeal to me. With their layered bracelet-like look, I wouldn’t have to decide which pieces to put on, just throw on the watch, and I’m good to go!

New Lunch/Brunch Eats in The City!

18 Mar

So good, and so close to my office!

I’m a loooong way from discovering all my new fave chow-down spots in San Francisco, but I have found a few good ones! They are mostly places I’ve found during my lunch breaks, like Bread and Cocoa, which happens to serve tasty hot sandwiches right down the street from my new office. Check ‘em out, after the jump!

Old Habits Die Hard

For those Jillian fans out there – who are still e-mailing me, btw :) – the green sleeveless dress that she wore to Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney’s wedding is Ina Soltani (thanks Jillian!). The same designer of this dress she wore to The Proposal premiere a while back. And actually, Dana over at The Possessionista, was the one to solve that mystery. If you’re a Jillian fashion junkie, check her out if you haven’t already!

It’s a Circus Out There: Inspiration

2 Mar

Anthropologie's February 2010 Catalog

Last week we went to Cirque du Soleil’s KOOZA in Del Mar, and it was incredible! I laughed, I gasped, I put my hands in front of my face…what those people can do with their bodies is crazy!

The circus has been EVERYWHERE lately, and I love it. The February Anthropologie and Bloomingdale’s catalogs were both big top-themed, and I’ve been seeing vaudeville touches in photos by The Sartorialist, recent runway collections and on the usual suspects, à la Anna Piaggi. (It’s also reminded me of past circus-centered episodes from two of my favorite shows – Bones and Pushing Daisies.)

After the jump, the inspiration. Next post up, the clothing! (more…)
