Long Weekend: San Francisco

Last week, Trevor and I celebrated our 4th anniversary. To celebrate, I spent the weekend in San Francisco with him. Cool, cloudy weather put a damper on our little vacation (especially since we both forgot jackets), but it was otherwise a fun weekend!

The one thing I wanted to find was a new perfume, so on Sunday, we ventured to North Beach. We stumbled upon this amazing bakery called Stella Pastry. The cherry danish at the top of the page is one of theirs. They have tons of traditional Italian pastries to choose from and sell mini sandwich cookies by the pound.

 So chill.


I finally found my perfume at Nest in the Fillmore District. My choice? Evening Edged in Gold, by Ineke. It's a heady mix of Gold Osmanthus, Saffron, Leather & Woods. It's warm, and like all good perfumes, tells a story. I'd had a sample of their perfume a while back and was terribly sad to find that no shops in Washington sold it anymore. I've been waiting to visit San Francisco, their home city, to buy a full sized bottle.

Nest was listed as one of the stores that carried their line, so we made our way over from North Beach after our pastry lunch. What a beautiful little shop! Handmade quilts, luxe sleepwear & clothing, and perfectly curated antique trinkets, Nest is what Anthroplogie dreams of being.

The sun finally came out as we made our way back to the hotel.

2014 Holiday Wishlist


They're here again... the holidaazzze! Halloween is over, which means I can really get going without everyone shaking their head. I freaking love Christmas. Thanks to my Etsy shop, I actually had an excuse to get started early this year. I've been making Christmas ornaments and Christmas cards since September!

Anyway, my wishlist is steadily growing, but I've decided to limit myself to 5, okay maybe 6, top picks. Don't want to sound too 'gimme gimme', right?

1. Yes Please by Amy Poehler. I'll probably just go buy this for myself. I really love books by funny ladies. It's my favorite genre.

2. Black Arrowhead Clutch from Such Sweet Tierney. This clutch, and everything else on the site, is made right here in Seattle. By my former boss, actually. Pretty awesome, right? I've been drooling over her stuff ever since she abandoned us at Paper Source to pursue her dream.

3. Madewell Malachite Studs. I really love malachite.

4. Birthstone Notecards. Have I ever told you how much I love rocks and gems and stuff? Yeah, that obsession is still going strong. This pick also feeds my paper obsession.

5. Pom Pom Beanie from White Lodge Knitwear. This hat is so cute it's stupid.

6. Ineke Deluxe Sample Collection. I got a sample of Ineke's Edged in Gold from a small shop in Fremont a couple years ago and just ran out. I think I want a whole bottle (it's so complex, so "opulent"), but I may get this set so I can try the other scents in the collection, too!

What's on your wishlist?
