if i wish hard enough

Published by

I’ve been told as a child if I wish hard enough, I will get to fulfill all my dreams. I didn’t believe it while growing up, but then in the last decade or so, I’ve wished very hard on a few things here and there, and to my surprise, they’ve all come true.  Silly?  Maybe. In light of this, I have to say, I’ve had my eye on a neighborhood in San Francisco, I wish to make my home very very soon.  Sea Cliff, is a neighborhood, I’ve walked through for decades, completely and utterly taken by the lush beauty of the neighborhood, nothing like the rest.  I will live here for sure and if I wish hard enough, I may just do so in this lifetime.

Indian Summer is a tricky thing in my opinion and here in San Francisco is one in between seasons the locals welcome, since that’s when the weather is warmer and the sun is out full force. So, while we transition from official summer to almost fall, we can consider pop of color and the subtilty of earth tones and black hues to get us through the season: From Left top to botton right: Dress: Lela Rose Coupe midi dress USD1895 Trench Coat:: Burberry London Mid Length Cotton Gaberdine USD1898 Black Dress: Joseph dora wool blend stretch jersey USD570 Two Tone Pumps: Jimmy Choo limit Tritone leather USD795 Black Bag: Buerberry prosum calf hair and leather tote USD1995 Grey two tone heels: Gianvito Rossi metal tipped glossed leather pumps USD685 Green Dress: Roksanda Ilinicic tilton wool blend USD1585 Sweater: Antonio Berardi fine knit wool cardigan USD 1355 Rust Bag: Mulberry The Willow leather tot USD 2600 Dress: Jonahtan Saunders lou printed slub cotton blend dress USD1240

august – mid summer dreams

Published by

One of the worst things in San Francisco, during the summer months, of course is the fog and cold, which make it really difficult to enjoy the season. So, while I spend hours in my home office, drafting my second novel, meanwhile impatiently waiting for the first one to be published, I realize, rolled up in a blanket,  the days are getting shorter and that typical sadness, I feel with the change of season, is lurking within, waiting for that unexpected second to rear its ugly head. Someday, I’ll move away to warmer climates, if not for a lifetime, perhaps just for the summer months. 🙂
