And the Holiday Season Has Begun

I can't believe Thanksgiving has already come and gone! I hope you had a wonderful food filled long weekend with family and friends!  While I'm sad that my favorite holiday has come and gone,  there are a few things I'm excited for as the holiday season gets into full swing...

Steve Jobs, you will be missed

"You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle." - Steve Jobs

I was lucky enough to see Steve Jobs speak live at Stanford's commencement a few years ago and it was definitely the best graduation speech I've ever seen.  I love his comparison of the search for a job to the search for love.

Weekend Snapshots

Back from a lovely weekend and the summer has finally arrived in San Francisco. Here are a few of my favorite moments...

Fall flowers at the farmers market.

The golden gate bridge through a sea of sailboats waiting to be taken out...

My favorite puppy...

Happy Monday!

Happy Monday from Boston

Hope your week is getting of to a wonderful start!  Just a heads up that a business trip has taken me to Boston until Thursday (while I'm excitedly following Fashion Week virtually).  I'll share more fun and style inspiration when I'm back in the bay later this week.

Photography Style-Edition: Heart Shaped Bokeh

Played around with a bokeh filter last night and I wanted to share the first images that I came up with.  I've  been waiting a few days for a clear evening to see if I could get a fun heart shaped silhouette of the Golden Gate Bridge; unfortunately it seems to be the wrong season for that. In the mean time - check out how a simple piece of paper with a heart cut out can change the view from my camera.

I had been wanting to play around with bokeh shapes since I saw this on Color Me Katie.   If you're ever looking for a pick-me-up,  stop by her blog! She is always doing someting silly and colorful, like taking a colorful walk through NY...
