Penny Lane - Almost Famous.

I don't re-watch movies very often but every time I catch this on TV, I get sucked in.

This scene is one of the main reasons

I also love the relaxed 70's style throughout the movie. -- Wouldn't you want to be on a bus with this cast?

I Think I Need: a Bar Cart

With the tiny galley kitchen in our 1-bedroom apartment, it can be a bit frustrating to have guests over (although that definitely doesn't stop us) But, I think it would be great if we could set up an area to serve drinks outside of the kitchen.

I also think that a bar cart would be a cool accent piece - I love the old Hollywood flair. I've been hunting at local flea markets and on Craigslist but unfortunately I haven't found anything in my price list yet. But, I have rounded up a few I'd pick up if I had the extra cash.

Love the bamboo ($1,600 here)

Nice and round (Here)

Wearing Red

The holidays are coming up and clearly I'm using it as an excuse to daydream about fancy cocktail attire. Although red is everywhere during the holiday season, it seems rare to see "real" women rock the color for evening look. (I'm not counting the now standard "ugly xmas sweater" look here)

Anyways, I saw this photo of Jessica Biel on NY Mag where she is re-staging a glamorous old Revlon ad.

And, It reminded me that she has worn some beautiful RED looks in the past.
I think these two are both stunning:

It's funny.. . when I searched for these red carpet looks, they were both on blogs questioning her style... I guess everyone has their opinions..

Such Pretty Dresses

I stumbled upon Amy Claire's website after seeing a cute little dress on Taylor Swift(?!) and I'd happily wear any of the Fall 2010 designs!
Sequins seem to be all the rage this holiday season but I think these black and nude combination of lace and chiffon have such a great fun but polished look.

I even love the shoes-Mary-Jane's with little bows!

Sailing in San Francisco Bay

One of my favorite weekend activities is getting out on the bay.
Sadly, the sailing season is winding down and the cold weather is arriving. I'm thinking of framing a few sailing pictures to hang in our apartment. Trying to decide color or black and white..
Here are some of the ones I've taken.
