If the dad or dads in your life are as difficult to buy for as mine, I feel your struggle. I’ve been scanning the web, my inbox, and my immediate environs for ideas, so I hope I can be of some help. Some of the items here I included in my Forbes Father’s Day gift […]
It’s Friday: Five Things Worth Wrecking Your Stockings
West Coast Craft is THIS weekend. I could literally drain my bank account at this heavenly two-day, expertly-curated craft sale at Fort Mason. These artisans here take “craft” to another level. I’ve gone on about how much I love Good Eggs. I didn’t think my love could grow even stronger but now they DELIVER WINE. Solidarity Sundays […]
The Dark Side of the Summer of Love
I’ve been posting giddily about the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love. I love the fashion, music and general air of freedom the time brought forth. It was a big, exciting change in American culture, but I wanted to take a minute to acknowledge that not all of it was good, especially for women. That truth […]
Bring a Rainbow (or Five) Indoors This Summer
The 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love plus the upcoming Pride celebrations are making me want to cover my home in rainbows. Happily I found this rainbow stained glass wall hanging by Debbie Bean last year at West Coast Craft, and when Bob Dylan fell down a couple months ago—and I didn’t have the wherewithal […]
Celebrate the Summer of Love in Style
Fifty years ago, the Summer of Love changed everything in fashion. Hems were suddenly ankle-length, hair was long and straight, and silhouettes were voluminous—a swift about-face from the earlier sixties miniskirts, go-go boots and bouffants. For some of us, 1967 is the jumping off point for every outfit we wear. For others, it’s fun to […]
Matching Outfits and Kindergarten Woes
Frida has a thing for Cheetahs. We’re not exactly sure where it came from but she likes to call people “bellybutton cheetah famous,” and we still haven’t figured out if it’s an insult or a compliment. So when I saw this pair of outfits from Nooworks, how could I resist? I never pegged myself as […]
True Religion for Rappers, Moms and Kids
In addition to this blog, I also write a denim blog. Naturally, this means our 16-year-old son intermittently asks when I’m going to collaborate with True Religion jeans. I told him probably never because everyone knows True Religion is for rappers. It’s a great look for 2 Chains, but their marketing team probably isn’t looking for a 40+ hippie mom of two.
Brighten Up Your Jungalow With Colorful Baskets
I’ve been filling up our house with plants, and in turn purchasing many baskets in which to place them. I love the jungalow look my living room is getting with so much greenery around, and the bonus is I’ve managed to keep most of the plants alive for a year or so. But recently I realized one thing […]
Important Lesson From Met Gala 2017: Fashion Is Not About Your Abs
As I’ve gotten older, one of the best revelations I’ve had about fashion and personal style is that getting dressed doesn’t have to be entwined with your perception of your body, which is especially freeing if those thoughts sometimes take you to an unhappy place. On the contrary, what you wear can elevate you from […]

It’s the tail end of Bay Area Dance Week, but it’s not too late to get in on one of the many free dance classes offered throughout the weekend. Salsa, ballroom, afro-cuban modern, hula, bandaloop, Bollywood and many more classes in pretty much every part of the Bay Area are still open the rest of this […]
