There are so many things to see in Sedona, and it's such a beautiful and magical place! It always surprises me that a lot of people haven't heard of it—somehow it's both a destination that people in the know love to visit and a somewhat undiscovered gem. Sedona is...
We had some seriously delicious food in Cinque Terre, but we also went to a couple places that ended up being touristy and bland (with crappy service to boot). You won’t find those places on this best restaurants in Cinque Terre list, and frankly we were led there...
Today we're covering the best Airbnbs in Boston, based on location, vibe, and price. Boston is such a cool city to visit, full of American history, beautiful parks, and wonderful museums. It's most definitely a sports town and people take the Red Sox and Patriots very...
Five months after my London trip, I am finally getting a travel guide up for this incredible city! I was living there for a month and a half for work earlier this year and it was my first time in London. I absolutely fell in love with it! There are so many different...
Thanks to Stitch Fix for sponsoring this post! I love that leopard is having such a big fall moment, because it’s truly one of my favorite prints to wear! This leopard top is actually a bodysuit and I’ve gotten majorly into bodysuits over the last year or so. They’re...

Lately, I've been on the hunt for the perfect Thanksgiving sweater dress, and today I'm sharing six of my favorites—all under $50 from Amazon! I very strongly believe that your Thanksgiving outfit shouldn't involve anything with zippers or buttons. Cute but comfy is...

Whenever I’m packing my bags, no matter where I’m going, you can always count on there being at least one pair of Tieks shoes in my luggage (but usually two or three, because you know…a girl’s gotta have options!). When I worked at an office, I wore Tieks almost every...

Finding the right skincare routine for yourself can be really hard. I know I've done a lot of trial and error to figure out which beauty products work for me and that my skin reacts well to. And the "error" part of the trial and error is always the worst. Like, hi...
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Pantene. The opinions and text are all mine. This winter's harsh weather, combined with lots of heat styling for holiday parties, events, and photo shoots has done a number on my hair. Whenever I have dry...

Last month a dear friend of mine from grad school got married. Both the bride and groom are Indian, and since we'd been to an Indian wedding before we semi-knew what to expect—beautiful, colorful outfits, a morning ceremony and evening reception, and tons of delicious...
I love Halloween and I especially love it when people go all out decorating for it! Even a few fun touches go a long way—it doesn't have to be a whole graveyard scene on your front lawn (although I totally love and adore people who go the extra mile like that!). Here...
Did you recently make a recipe that involved one or two carrots, and now you have a bag of leftover carrots sitting in your fridge? If you said yes, you have to try this amazing roasted carrot soup recipe with a nice spicy kick to it! This recipe is so simple and...

Last month I turned 31, and I wasn't feeling particularly inspired to plan a birthday party. I just didn't feel like I had any fab San Francisco birthday ideas. I mean, when I turned 30 I was in Peru volunteering with a bunch of bad-ass women and having one of the...
MENGUIN UNBOXING VIDEO & REVIEW Back when we were planning our wedding (which was already 8 months ago! I can't believe it.), I did a post about Menguin, the suit rental company we were using for our groomsmen's looks. Our groomsmen looked so handsome in their...

I'm a huge coffee drinker and my morning really isn't complete until I've had some form of coffee, whether it's black, or a mocha or cappuccino. In the afternoons, I usually drink tea, but I find that drinking plain tea, loose leaf or tea bags, can be a little...

You guys know I'm a huge fan of Tieks, and my collection is ever-growing (read about why they're my go-to flats for traveling here)! I've also gotten both my mom and sister obsessed with Tieks, and they've become their favorite flats too. When we were all in Rome...
This post could also be titled, "How to project manager the shit out of your wedding." ;) Over the last year while we were planning our wedding, I've had several coworkers and friends get engaged too. They've all asked for the wedding run of show (fancy event-planner...
We live in a one bedroom apartment in SF and our kitchen situation is very small—like, it feels crowded if there are two people in the kitchen, small. Since we have such limited space in our kitchen, I've found a few items over the years from Wayfair to help optimize...
Do you remember the first time you made a smore? I remember it was in the summertime in July for me and I was with my family in the backyard after a long pool day. We decided to end the night surrounding the fire pit, as my mom passed out graham crackers,...

Today I'm sharing a full Premium Jane review, and how it fits into my nighttime routine! Everyone talks about their morning routines in blog posts and podcast interviews, but I feel like nighttime routines are totally neglected. Nighttime routines are important too!...
I absolutely loved wearing this pretty blush Marchesa gown for my friend's wedding a couple months ago. She had her bridesmaids all pick out long dresses in either blush or champagne, and the colors and looks all came together beautifully. This particular dress...
Who else is excited for fall?? I feel like summer just flew by, so I plan to embrace the fall season and really soak all the fall vibes up, in an effort to slow down and savor the season. I'm starting with adding some fall touches to my home. In my opinion,...

Fall is officially here and it's finally starting to feel like it in San Francisco too! I'm ready for the change in season and have been loving the crisp air and cooler weather. I feel like each season passes so quickly (I mean, they're only three months long, which...
