A Tip From A Lady... Sophia Lauren


"There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age."

- Sophia Loren

TVacation


I'm not one to poo-poo television - in fact, I think it is fabulous!

But tonight, we are a TV-Free household... and it is heavenly.

I heart TVacations every now and then.

San Francisco... Guide to Great Food


Well... I think I've finally settled back into East Coast life after my week in San Francisco.

We had a ball! And we ate some amazing food. So, I wanted to share the best of the best!

The spot above is the amazing Foreign Cinema. Not only was the atmosphere gorgeous, but the food was fantastic California cuisine. Oh, and they play art house films on the wall outside!


Our incredible concierge (seriously the BEST!) at The Clift recommended Golden Mountain for dim sum. So much fun and a culinary adventure. The dumplings were the best I've had before!



Upon the recommendation of Liz from Octavian & Brown, a fab design blog, we hit the Ferry Terminal Farmer's Market on Saturday for pork sandwiches from Roli Roti. Amazing!



We took a street car to Spruce for a work dinner Sunday and it was divine!


I stopped by my favorite cafe, Tartine, to pick up some treats.


We swung past the beyond charming Bi-Rite to sample the balsamic vinegar strawberry ice cream!


And of course, we had the greatest Mexican food at El Farolito.

Good thing we walked everywhere we possibly could! Thanks to all of our wonderful fellow Prippys for sharing your special spots with us.

Peach Perfect... Lips


With summer truly right around the corner, I'm ready to try out some fresher looks. Peach lipstick seems to be doing the trick for me these days!

What better inspiration than Grace Kelly for finding the perfect pout color? Estee Lauder Portifino Coral is a great option.


Also check out the universally flattering Cristalle Peach by Chanel.

Prippy Pleasures... Hammocks


Doesn't this picture say it all? Can someone please zap me to this location immediately!?!


Prippys love hammocks - it is as simple as that!

Dressing for San Fran...


How perfect is this dress from Anthropologie for dinner in San Fran?

The ship print and rope details are simply perfect for one of our nights out on the town!

Best part... it was on sale!
