After clocking in 13,602 miles in the air last week I was determined to have a relaxed and laid back weekend.  Which I did... and successfully I might add.  The countless hours spent waiting in airports and sitting in cold window seats might have inspired the purchase of this interesting H&M knit.  I haven't yet decided if I should be calling it a wrap, a shrug or a sweater.  Named or unnamed, it's something I'll be able to throw over my shoulders no matter what I'm wearing. :)

I received a few questions about StitchFix when I mentioned the company in my recent post. So what is StitchFix?  It's a monthly style service that ships you a package with 5 new picked-for-you pieces to try on at home with your own clothes and accessories.  The initial $20 charge for the package goes towards any purchase.  Who doesn't like clothes delivered to their door with free shipping and free returns?!  Try it out here and do let me know what you think!

Weekend Craving: Round Stella McCartney Sunglasses

Stella McCartney Round Sunglasses

I missed out an a pair of round Marni sunglasses during Neiman Marcus' last call sale (they had shipped them out by the time I came back to buy them!) and I've been on the hunt for a similar pair ever since!  Are you craving round sunnies?

Hope you're having a great weekend!

Just a few photos from FNO.  I met and chatted with so many amazing and stylish ladies!  The night was almost a blur...and we can't blame the bubbly, I had not more than a glass! ;)

A big thank you to Saks for hosting a wonderful Fashion's Night Out in San Francisco - and for inviting me to take part in it!  I had a blast!! <3

I spent most of my weekend in airports (thanks to 3+ hour delays coming in on Friday and going back out on Sunday), but I still got to enjoy a little bit of football (Colorado & Cal both posted wins!), walks with the dogs and a date night with the hubby at our local Nob Hill Cafe. 

Thanks for visiting and happy Monday!

Happy Thursday!

Coffee Break Craving: Glitter Loafers

Glitter loafers

After spending a lot of time in my glitter sandals this summer, I'm pretty sure these glitter loafers would be the perfect colder-weather replacement.  Although between this and the calf-hair version, we have a tough decision to make...


One thing is for sure - loafers are on my wishlist!

Versatile Neutrals

 Sweater - H&M (similar here in luxurious wool & cashmere, yes please!)

Cropped trousers - Zara (similar here for $64)

Necklace - courtesy of Maya Brenner

Ring - vintage

Beaded chain bracelet - courtesy of Acanthus

Mini spike bracelet - CC Skye, courtesy of JoyaCHIC

Chain link bracelet - J.Crew

Heels - Yves Saint Laurent

Purse - Celine

Sunglasses - Stella McCartney (here)

This outfit is pretty representative of my ideal workday look.  Comprised of staples (delicate gold jewelry, neutrals and a good ol' pair of heels), I'd feel equally comfortable on a casual office day in-between travel, for an impromptu off-site meeting with a medical animation agency, or for drinks after work with friends.  

What's your ideal workday look?

Gray and khaki for the SF Weekly Web Awards party at 111 Minna on Friday.  Big thanks to Britt and Whit for lots of chatting and laughter that evening!

This week marks the beginning of an aggressive work travel schedule for the next several weeks.  I'm going to be thankful I've just kicked the cold; I'll need all the energy I can muster! ;)

Happy Monday friends!

Bun Mee

Vietnamese sandwiches from Bun Mee, San Francisco

I finally had a chance to try out the new Vietnamese sandwich place on Fillmore over the weekend - what a treat!  I loved the modern take on the traditional Vietnamese staple and the window seating for 2 was perfect for people watching!  I wouldn't mind another one right this minute... ;)

So excited for Fashion's Night Out tomorrow evening!  Please be sure to stop by Saks in Union Square, I would love to meet you!

Bold colors for my return to the office after the three-day weekend (no better way to motivate for the long day ahead!). 

After an entire month of no business travel (it was pretty blissful, I must admit!), I'm gearing up for what should be an incredibly busy several weeks: Dallas, Orlando, San Antonio and New York are all in the works!  These trips include new rep trainings, hospital meetings, a possible charity gala and training new team members!  I'm excited to get back out there and forge ahead!
