a brand new week . . .

This weekend was the epitome of summer here in San Francisco. It was all about 80 degree weather (with no sea breeze or fog), time spent outdoors wandering around the city enjoying friends company, stores I never get to pop into and a little quality time at the park. It was blissful and quite honestly felt like a three day weekend. It's amazing what a little vitamin D can do for the soul.

A few things that I'm loving from this weekend - the new issue of Vogue Living, white peonies (my favorite flower), homemade granola from Batter Bakery and lastly an image I took of the super sweet strawberries I picked up at the farmers market this weekend.

I hope all of you had just as sweet of a weekend as I did. Let this week bring you joy, happiness and productivity!

a brand new week . . .

This weekend was all about enjoying friends company and having a lot of downtime to relax at home - these days, that doesn't happen very often. It was just the weekend I needed - seeing girlfriends, cooking at home and opening up a book. It was quite blissful.

A few things I'm loving - a new hand towel, recipes cards (both a birthday present from Mrs E), new wrapping tape, and peonies are everywhere (twitter, instagram and blogs). I couldn't resist posting these beauties because they are making my house smell utterly divine. 

Now that June is underway I want to welcome two new sponsors to Sacramento Street - Lo & Sons is back and they've got some incredible new colors and styles (pop back Wednesday for a giveaway with them). And Vero Linens is a brand new sponsor and let me tell you - their sheets are heavenly. It's like going to sleep in a soft cloud. Big thank you to both sponsors for being part of the blog this month.

Have a wonderful Monday friends!

a brand new week . . .

Cheers to starting a work week on a Tuesday - it sounds so sweet to say that tomorrow is already Wednesday! This weekend was perfection - spent time with family in Carmel celebrating my birthday and cousins graduation, took in the sea air with a brunch in Tiburon and got to see a spectacular fireworks show on the Golden Gate Bridge. I don't use this word very often, but it was epic! You can see photos from the weekend over on instagram. What did you end up doing this weekend? I'm sure it was fabulous.

A few things I've been loving - the new (in the US) issue of Vogue Living Australia that is chalked full of inspiration, bright pink peonies, a new notebook and pencil for list writing and lastly, a birthday present from my auntie and cousin - a clutch I'm totally in love with. 

I hope all you have a beautiful week ahead friends!

a brand new week . . .

Monday has arrived and although I'm excited for what it has in store, it's a little bittersweet because this weekend was wonderful. It was filled with spending time with family which was blissful, going to my favorite shops that I miss dearly (found a new favorite - Unaand most importantly, celebrating the marriage of my brother-in-law and new sister-in-law - I'm so happy she's officially part of the family. I wish the weekend could have lasted longer. 

A few things I've been loving - this stunning fabric we might use in a clients home, an oldie but goodie necklace that I can't stop wearing, windy SF days have called for bundling up with my charcoal scarf and lastly, this stunning notebook was given to me at Catherine Kwong's SF Decorators Showcase soiree (it's already filled with little to-do lists)

Cheers to a new week - I have a feeling it's going to be a good one since a three day weekend is in my future.

a brand new week . . .

This weekend was blissful - days were spent by the pool in Calistoga, dinner at Press was delightful (huge thanks to Sam of Sequin Harvest for the reservation and bubbly) and ending the weekend waking up to find a feature I was anticipating being so much more than I expected. It was incredibly well written and to be on the front page of the San Francisco Chronicles Home & Garden section with my mom on mothers day was so special. To read the full article pop over here.

A few things I'm loving - fresh produce from the farmers market, adding that last layer of jewelry to my daily outfits and my new favorite thing . . . March Pantry's olive oil - drizzle it on anything and it's utterly divine.

How was your mothers day weekend? I hope all of you celebrated the special women in your life.

Cheers to a new week upon us and check back here a little later this morning. I'll be sharing something you won't want to miss.

a brand new week . . .

Cheers to a new week! This weekend was all about enjoying the beautiful weather we were graced with here in San Francisco. I took a walk along the ocean with a view of the Golden Gate Bridge, had a successful trip to the flea market with Grant, and ended the weekend with a leisurely afternoon in a stunning rose garden - although it was jam packed, I'm sun kissed and ready to start the week.

A few things I'm loving this week - the new Rodin perfume (it's divine), fresh flowers, and vintage gift wrapping essentials (which were a few of MANY treasures I picked up at the flea market). I wish I could have fit the chairs that I got in this image - pop over to instagram to see.

Hope all of you have a great Monday - our office is off to a all day retreat in Napa!

a brand new week . . .

Monday, a bittersweet day since this weekend was quite magical. It began with a picture perfect brunch with Kinfolk Magazine - from the group of people to the food to the small farmers market they put together, every detail filled my soul with inspiration for what we do on a daily basis here in the creative industry. I feel honored and quite lucky to have attended. Here are a few images I took of the event.
The rest of the weekend was simply lovely. I caught up with my bestie that lives in London, said farewell to a bestie moving to New York and then drove to Marin to bask in the sunshine with my two college girlfriends. Surrounding myself with my favorite ladies this weekend was exactly what I needed to rejuvenate myself. What did you do this past weekend?

Can you believe today is the last day of April? I certainly can't. I hope all of you have a beautiful week ahead. Cheers!

Happy Monday! This weekend I enjoyed quality time with my mom with incredible weather and going to a good friends pop-up shop (where I discovered some pretty amazing treasures). It was quite delightful.

A few things I'm loving - the new issue of Domino just hit the stands last week, which I have yet to have time to sit down to read (hopefully I will tonight), stunning blooms have made our apartment smell like a garden, and this April poem is just lovely (printed by my new favorite book source Book / Shop).

I hope all of you had a blissful weekend and that your week ahead is splendid.

It's a beautiful Monday morning - the picture perfect way to start off the week. This weekend felt as though it was more than two days long. The days felt longer than usual, which made for a very productive weekend. From kicking off baseball season with a fireworks show after the game, to seeing girlfriends, to meeting up with a friend who is redesigning Sacramento Street (so giddy about this) - this weekend fully recharged my battery.

I even had a little time to kick up my feet to read the new issue of Belle, practice my photoshop skills from blogshop and since the sun was shinning bright the entire weekend I got to sport my new sunnies.

How was your weekend? I hope you were all able to take a little time to get some rest. Happy Monday to you friends!

a brand new week . . .

After a weekend learning a ton at blogshop, I'm completely rejuvenated to create beautiful and inspiring posts here on Sacramento Street. From barreling, to masking, to animation, they literally go over everything in a step-by-step process that has you leaving day two not feeling overwhelmed but eager to jump into it on your own. Seriously, if you haven't thought about taking the class - I highly recommend it.
Instead of photographing my own Monday morning inspiration board I thought that I should share the board I created in class. I wanted to show you how much I learned from both Bri and Angela. In keeping with my aesthetic, I wanted to create a board that showed beautiful spaces I've adored over the past few years.
I hope all of you have an amazing and productive week ahead of you. I think you know what I'll be doing every night this week - practice makes perfect!

a brand new month . . .

With a new month and week upon us - it feels like a fresh start. Spring cleaning has been accomplished, the laundry is folded and put away and the entire apartment smells like a garden thanks to the flowers Natalie gave me. What makes this week even more special is Eric finally gets from spring training. 

A few things I'm loving this week - the new issue of Kinfolk (which is stunning and beautiful), blooms to mark the beginning of spring and a brand new bottle of Rodin hand lotion. 

I hope all of you have a creative and productive week ahead.

Cheers to a new week! After spending the weekend enjoying quality time with Eric and warm weather in Arizona, it's back to the daily routine here in San Francisco. I'm not loving the chilly weather - alas hopefully the rain that we're getting will pass quickly.

This week the new Vogue Living Australia is giving me tons of much needed inspiration (even bigger plus, Peggy's feature she shot in this issue is stunning!), my new Tom Ford lipstick in Spanish Pink has me excited to dress up my lips every day, and lastly some Mariage Frères tea to keep me warm.

Have a wonderfully productive week everyone!

a brand new week . . .

Happy Monday! This weekend was all about getting together with friends that were visiting from out of town, running errands and ending the week by heading to the suburbs to celebrate my cousins birthday. It was quite lovely and refreshing - probably because I finally got adjusted to the time change.

This week's inspiration - the new Elle Decoration UK that I picked up at Birch, my Coraggio fabric that I'm excited about incorporating into our apartment, an Astier bird, delicious cocoa brûlée chocolates that I'm obsessed with and lastly a necklace that that I bought a long time ago and am finally incorporating into outfits.  


Have a wonderful week - I'll be taking some AutoCAD class this first part of the week. Wish me luck!

a brand new week . . .

After a lovely weekend in Scottsdale spending time with Eric, watching my first baseball game of the season, and finishing off the weekend brunching and shopping with Jessica, who happened to be in town (such a treat) - it's hard to come back to a busy and chilly week. If only it was sandal weather in San Francisco. I'm already counting down the days until my next trip to Scottsdale in a week and a half.

A few things I'm loving - this stunning Madewell catalog that I got in the mail, a new soap from Birch that I can't get enough of, scrolling through photos of palm trees on my iPhone from this weekend, and this nude Estee Lauder lip gloss.

Hope all of you have a wonderful and productive week ahead.

a brand new week . . .

This weekend was perfection. I'm not even sure where to begin but if you follow me on instagram you saw it all. An overnight trip to Napa to celebrate Kelley's birthday was above and beyond my wildest dreams  - from staying in a beautiful home nestled next to vines, wine tasting in summer like weather and ending the day with a private dinner cooked by Tyler Florence's culinary director, Tyson. It was stunning, memorable, and lovely to be surrounded by such amazing friends.

A few things I'm loving - my striped Ikea trays that I have throughout our apartment, a new bracelet and camera I picked up at the Alameda flea market, my go-to Rodin hand lotion that I'm addicted to and lastly my poppin ruler (it's come in handy at work).

Thinking positive thoughts for a very productive, busy and happy week ahead!

Good morning! It's another beautiful day here, which makes for a perfect way to start the week. We've been graced with spectacular weather here in San Francisco and I'm savoring every minute. Some special moments this weekend that made me smile were - catching up with a girlfriend, going to the movies, and spending Sunday with Eric.

A few things I'm loving - new work essentials from poppin (who doesn't love a pair of white scissors?), stunning anemones, my Astier plate where I put jewelry and my go-to favorite necklace.

Hope all of you have a fabulous week. I can't wait for Paris Fashion Week to begin and I'll be posting new photos of our apartment!

This weekend felt heavenly - it was quite luxurious to have three days off to do whatever my heart desired. The days were filled with shopping excursions with my mom, dinners out with friends, and relishing not having to get out of bed at an early hour. Ahhhh, it makes the rest of the short work week feel oh so sweet.

A few things inspiring me - the March issue of Elle Decoration (one home in particular I can't stop dreaming about), my current wrist wear, a new black and ivory cardigan that I've been wearing a bit too much, and this vase that I borrowing from my moms condo. What's been inspiring you the past week?

Hope all of you have a lovely short work week!

Bonjour! After spending the entire weekend fighting a cold I'm ready for a week filled with health, happiness and of course a little l-o-v-e. Although I was sick, it sure was lovely spending quality time with Eric at home - he's a saint for taking care of me.

A few things that inspired me as I laid in bed - the new issue of Kinfolk has me quite smittened, I've been incorporating this necklace into a lot of my ensembles, this "LOVE" figurine is perfection for this week and these blooms had me wishing I could smell instead of having a stuffed nose.

Don't forget to enter the Herringbone handbag giveaway! It ends tonight - so pop on over and leave a comment.

Hope all of you have a wonderful and love-filled week!

These are a few things that inspired me over the weekend - Plenty, a fabulous cookbook that I can't wait to eat my way through, anemones I picked up at the flower market, my business cards that finally arrived and delicious cups of tea that kept me going throughout this weekend.

a brand new week . . .

This weekend felt like spring - bright blue skies and warm temperatures. We enjoyed a trip to Marin to run some errands, prepped my moms condo for painting and had dinner with family and friends. It was delightful. I feel completely refreshed and rejuvenated for the week ahead.

A few things are inspiring me this week - the new Elle Decoration has my head swirling with ideas, lovely bloomers from the market, an astir pitcher and my favorite everyday essential to carry in my handbag is this Herringbone necessaire (more on them soon!).

We're expecting a beautiful week here in San Francisco and I'm definitely going to savor each day to the fullest. Cheers to a brand new week everyone!
