"Another Earth"

My Darlings,

Have any mid-week plans tonight? Since it's my only day off this week I thought it'd be nice to take a field trip to the Ferry building and enjoy some Blue Bottle coffee!

Also later on tonight I'll be attending a screening of "Another Earth" with director Mike Cahill and actress Brit Marling.  There should be a quick Q&A to follow as well!

Here's the trailer of "Another Earth" if you haven't already seen it:

DIY Wednesday: Cosby Coffee Cozy!!

Happy Wednesday folks!

I hope the middle of your week is splendid. I'm off to a hump day brunch in a bit, but would love to share with you a quick DIY project that can be done in 5 minutes. Yes, that's right, 5 minutes!

I've recently rekindled my love for Cosby sweaters, especially in chilly San Francisco, and thought it'd be fun to think of new ways of reusing one. I first off I decided to create a circle scarf. The idea came from my friend Monica, who learned how to make them from Kelly Malone of Workshop and IndieMart. 

After I made the scarf, I decided to play with the rest of the material and came up with a quick and easy coffee cup cozy.

Step One: Measure out the shape with a paper coffee cup sleeve

Step Two: Cut the material with the seam intact on one side (this requires less stitching).

Step Three: Sew the other edge together with the material inside out. 

Step Four: Flip right-side out and enjoy!

P.S. Here's a fun Cosby sweater Tumblr to keep you inspired. = )

Smitten: Parisian Apartment

I've been completely obsessed with all things Parisian for the past four months. I love the cuisine, architecture and of course the language. So once I stumbled upon these photos of this gorgeous apartment I couldn't help but share it.

How lucky is Victoria (from SF Girl By Bay) to find such a posh flat on airbnb?! I hope her vacation was as fabulous as her abode.

Have a Romantic Weekend!

Sometimes we need a new take on an old cliche, to remind us what's really important in life.

Covet Tuesday

I am absolutely in love with these pieces from Shabd Simon-Alezander. I'm usually not a fan of tie dye but these watercolor designs are stunning! Not to mention, the fit looks extremely comfortable and chic!

What are some pieces you've been coveting lately?
