Normally, while I wait for the bus, I stand and look around to keep myself busy. But not this morning, I decided, the images before my eyes were worth capturing on my Iphone 4s.

The past three days, it was extremely hot in San Francisco and although it was a pleasant change from the cold and fog, it aggravated alot of locals. Very strange bunch, we are, the city folk.
I, on the other hand, did everything in my power to stay out as long as I could to enjoy the sun and the heat, so after work I walked over to Union Square and enjoyed a nice dinner outdoors atop Macy Department Store, over-looking the square. When I finally made it back down to the street level, I couldn’t believe how amazingly hot it still was even at 8p.m. So, naturally I grabbed my hubby’s cell and snapped some photos of the light effects in San Francisco on a hot Indian Summer night.

I go through many phases while contemplating my life and since “the wedding” last month, I have been in a retro mood, so it’s no surprise that I would fall madly in-love with the below photos, which I found here.
I am not sure who the creative mind behind the photographs is, but based on the style, Grace Coddington, creative director of Vogue most definitely comes to mind. If anyone can shed some light on this, I would really appreciate it if you would drop me a line or two.
Anyway, love these fashion photos which take me back to an amazing era in fashion.
Being a part of the over 40 crowd, I tend to, like others in my league, occasionally analyze whoI am now when I interact with the 20something crowd. Don’t ask, it’s a woman thing.
To sum up where I am going with this, I have included two photos which best showcase what I was like as a person in my twenties (left) and how I see myself now over 40 (Right). And to be honest with you, I like me now the best What do you think about yourself, do you prefer your twenties or your forties?
I attempted to do some Spring cleaning this weekend but ended up getting distracted by other trivial things. However, once I began winding down Sunday night and searching the web, I came across an array of interesting architectural design and decor from here and decided to share some of my favorites as usual.
Where can I get one of these
I would so have a house like this
Imagining the faces of my friends during wine and cheese night
A must for any home with a view
While helping a certain bride-to-be choose her wedding cake, I silently wondered why the task would be so difficult. After all, the cake cutting ceremony is usually late in the evening and by that point most guests are either gone or don’t even pay attention to the tradition.
But after doing my research on the significance of the cake cutting tradition here, I realized giving the decoration great thought is a representation of the bride (mostly) and sometimes the groom.
Now, although traditionally round cakes were the norm, I personally prefer the square ones. They somehow make a bolder statement . What say you?

I always walk the financial district in San Francisco, mostly through the construction zones, just to see the progress of the latest architecture marvel being built throughout the city.
So of course, it’s not a shock that I also appreciate this website and the most amazing art and architecture photography they post on Facebook.
I wouldn't mind one of these in my backyard
