Today I’m joining some stylish friends to share our favorite sneakers and how we wear them. . What is your favorite sneaker? Do you have a few? I have more now since we can opt to wear sneakers with a skirt or dress, and even with dressier pants and a suit look. I love the option to mix it up, and I love that women now have the choice instead of heels in many instances. I have a retro looking sneaker in nylon, a clean white pair to wear with dresses and such, an athletic pair, and one with a bit of a platform. I have others in the garage for hikes, and for playing tennis. I haven’t ventured ..read more

On this post, my dress and sandals I plan to wear for Easter, a spring change and refresh around the kitchen, a new skin cream I love, and Frances Valentine founder Elyce Arons’ bright and beautiful New York Townhouse. How have you all been? I work on this post on Fridays, and just at lunch time I was so sad to hear about the Princess of Wales and her cancer diagnosis. I feel so badly for her, and also for the way it all came out. What a PR mess from the palace. Who knows who is at fault, but I sure feel like Katherine got the blame for the bad photo and all. I was thinking how we all look at ..read more

On this post, Amber Valetta’s sustainable California home in Architectural Digest, a winter day in Santa Cruz, pretty spring table things, and more.. How was your week? After a few sluggish days I am getting used to the time change. While I don’t like the dark mornings, I sure do like having dinner when it’s light out.

It’s going to be in the 70’s this weekend and I am thinking of bring out some of my blouses and store my sweaters in the draw ..read more

White Shirt Styling Ideas
Northern California Style

This month for Signature Style, Cindy and I decided to do a deep drive on the white shirt. Who doesn’t love them? Today I’ll share some of the latest iterations of the white shirt, as well as solid classics that are out there. Then we’ll look at unexpected ways to style your white shirts! When I think of white shirts, I think of Katherine Hepburn and how she wore a button up forever.. The white button-up ( a button-down is actually one that has buttons on the collar), is universally flattering. The structure of a white tailored shirt gives a sharper line than a soft t-shirt or sweater and ski ..read more

On this post, my three days at the BNP Tennis Tournament in Indian Wells, plus what people are wearing to the tournament, and a few bits on my radar.. I can’t believe it’s Daylight Savings time already. I’m not sure I am ready for it, and I always have a hard time adjusting to time changes. Anyone else? I do love that it is Oscar weekend and plan to watch it all on my couch Sunday night. Max knows it’s my superbowl, so he takes over dinner duties so I can watch it all. I have not seen that many of the movies this year, but we did just see The Holdovers last weekend with Jackson and Max and we ..read more

It’s time for our weekend roundup with Elizabeth and Juliet. How’s your week been? Well.

I’ve spent a lot of time on the heating pad and it’s getting better slowly, but it’s frustrating. Since I can’t do too much, I also have been looking at myself and ..read more

Two weeks ago, I asked readers what are you favorites that work. So many of you sent me notes and left comments with those tips, I hit the stores last week and it was eye-opening when you are only focusing one one thing. I recommend doing that when shopping for denim. I have a love affair of sorts with deni ..read more
