My recent obsessions have included three things: braids, comfy flats, and orange coffee. The caffe l’arancia at Bread and Cocoa is an espresso drink with cinnamon, vanilla, and orange, and it’s delicious without being too sweet. My new comfy flats are fittingly called “Fabulous,” by Corso Como ($99), and they have gel insoles and memory form, which make them great for running from bus to train and back again. And the braids have been a nice way to keep my bangs out of my face while I’m growing them out. It’s seriously so easy, and is gentler on my hair than bobby pins. These are just a few of my latest obsessions, hope to get back on a regular posting schedule soon!

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: 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!
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 »
My favorite thing of all: spending the holidays with friends and family
Well, 2009 is almost over – hellooooo 2010! It’s been a good year, with plenty of traveling, from Vancouver to Portland to Palm Springs; beautiful weddings full of family and friends, old and new; discovering delicious eateries, near and far; just a modicum of shopping :) ; and quite a bit of blogging. To everyone out there who actually reads this silly little thing, thank you! Here’s to a new year that’s even better than the last. Cin cin!
In lieu of a list of favorites from the past year, I’m just posting my current obsessions, many of which are birthday/Christmas presents I had to share! Check them out, after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

I’m back in San Diego! Can’t wait to put up some new posts! (I think some sparkly New Year’s Eve dresses and accessories might be on the horizon…)
But first: Before I left for vacation, I made two small contributions on the Web. One was an article I wrote for sandiego.com about modern holiday decor. You can read it here. The other was a blog banner I created for my friend Heather’s wedding blog. Heather has taken some time off from her Treats to Share blog to focus on planning her July wedding. You can follow her new venture – and see the banner I made - here!

After an early Christmas in the Bay Area, I just arrived in Kelowna, British Columbia, for my second round. I’ll be there for the rest of the week, so I wanted to wish you all a merry Christmas – I’ll be back next Monday! Cross your fingers that this Californian gets a white Christmas!
What Say You?
