I’m in San Francisco tonight at Gordon Biersch enjoying the tapping party for the Festbier, an Octoberfest style beer, so I will leave you with this hipstamatic image of the Bay Bridge from S.F.
Cheers!

Shoe Obsession
cuffs - ink & paper shoe $42.00
One of the reasons I totally heart Pinterest is finding new places to shop online. This was the case with the shoe above. I love the wedge, the perfect royal blue velvet and ankle strap detail.
Blazer’s for Fall
Toms Ballet Flats
Reading Chair
As you may or may not know, I have been in the market for a good, solid, comfy reading chair under $500 to put in the new “reading nook.” It’s actually pretty hard to find a stylish chair under $500 that doesn’t look like it will fall apart in a couple years.
After lots and lots of searching, here are the choices I’ve made and now have to narrow down to one.
Running…
Running is something that I have attempted to learn and persevere through a couple times in my life. I once even took a running class. Yes, a class through the local adult school. Anywhoo, I’m back in the trying to run 5k and it would be rad if I could get that done by then end of the year.
Today I got the running shoes with the Nike + and the Nike + wristband. Now I’m set to attempt, yet again, to run. This time using the Couch to 5k running plan.
Do you run? When / how did you get started? Any advise to give the newbie?

Labor Day
How was your long weekend? Mine was great. I took a road trip to small town California to visit my parents.
Yes, the mini-mart sign says "Bullets & Booze"
Pinterest Love
I found this on Pinterest earlier today and immediately had a lightbulb moment. I have a ton of tickets from the trip and haven’t figured out what to do with them. This would be an awesome way to keep souvenirs from my travels.
Now I just need to get a couple photos printed and pick up a frame to put it all together.

Summer Vacation Part II: Netherlands
Despite the fact that July is Amsterdam’s wettest month (it poured rain the first 2 days!), it was absolutely gorgeous and completely different from anything I’ve seen ever.
The first three nights we stayed at Lucky Lake Hostel. It is a couple metro stops from Amsterdam Central station but was totally worth it. There are two options: cabins or caravans. You get your own little cabin with a full size bed, access to the outdoor kitchen (making it budget friendly as you can cook!) and free wi-fi.
From here we ventured to Den Haag, where we wandered around until we found the MC Escher museum which is housed inside of a palace! Totally rad and worth it. After grabbing a beer, we also saw Take That with Robbie Williams at the Amsterdam Stadium. It was truly a crazy show with multiple costume changes, a giant robot that went from sitting to standing, and thousands of screaming Dutch.
Summer Vacation Part I: London
As you may or may not know, I recently traveled to Amsterdam and Sweden via London for 16 days. The purpose of the trip was to visit my guy (and to see Europe, of course). I flew red-eye from SF to London and got into Heathrow at about 2pm, exhausted as I only slept like 3 hours total on the plane and my body thought it was the middle of the night. What I would give to fly business or first class…
Given that I only had the afternoon in London before sleeping and catching the train to Amsterdam at 6am, I chose to force myself to stay awake until I couldn’t possibly stand it anymore and then sleep as much as possible.
