The perfect mix of classics

I can't think of a better fashion combo than a beige Burberry and Ferragamo Varina flats. I'm hoping to add one of these classic pieces to my closet in the coming year. I've been eyeing the mid-length trench, preferably with a hood to battle the foggy mists of San Francisco.

Glamorous fur coats and vests

When I first saw fur vests and coats popping up around stores, I wasn't exactly crazy about them. But after seeing all these chic women wearing them on the streets and accessorizing them in their own way, they're gradually warming up to them.

Palace Games in San Francisco

I braved the Union Square crowds yesterday to take some photos around downtown and check out the Palace Hotel holiday decorations, which is something I do every year and it never gets old. It's the ultimate in elegance and timeless decor. Even though I only live a few train stops away, the idea of staying in one of their suites for a night would be delicious.

I recently discovered Scarlett Ella's photos of San Francisco in pastel on Pinterest and I love the vintage quality she brings to her photos. Other notable photographs of San Francisco I've found are from a French blog, Cachemire and Soie.

2014 Holiday Gift Guide - The Workaholic

For the woman who manages to raise her three children, volunteer for various charity organizations, negotiate gazillion dollar corporate deals, and attend ballet bungee classes (I wish they offered this in San Francisco) while looking unbelievably gorgeous.

Pastel and gold plates

Ever since I laid eyes on the serving ware at Laduree during my last fall trip to France, I've been obsessing about pastel and gold plates. Unfortunately, after a recent trip to Chanel last night, these will just have to wait.
