For the past few months now (or maybe even longer), I have been toying with the idea of making my own step-hem jeans. Besides the fact that they are pretty much everyone’s go-to pair of denim right now, my friend and oh-so-stylish fashion blogger, Kali, created her own pair on her blog, In Spades. She […]

Pasta with Truffle Butter
Where do I even start with this one? Well, you’re going to love it. Now, I know that I say this with just about every recipe (actually every recipe) that I share with you, but I promise that I am only sharing the créme de la créme with you – and this one really tops […]
Spring Eats
Typically during the change of seasons, since I have the slightly compulsive desire to “Spring” clean (even when it is Fall or Winter), I find myself rifling through my recipe binder. Yep, recipe binder. Don’t we all have one? No, not the one with the recipes that are tried and true, but a binder dedicated […]
Loungewear
Is anyone else completely loving the whole loungewear as daywear trend right now? For me, someone who would happily always be in either loungewear or jammies, this new trend is pretty much the greatest thing that has happened since…well…ever. I’m all about comfort, but it often used to be a choice between comfort or style. […]
The Best Truffle Pizza
A few weeks ago we visited one of our favorite Italian restaurants in San Diego, Cucina Urbana. And to be honest, we pretty much knew in advance that we would order the same things that we always do. But…to our surprise, the menu had changed a little bit. It felt like it had been years […]
Panzanella di Fiorella
Remember when I got to call Tuscany home last Spring? (Sigh) First of all, just saying that gives me serious urges to go back…but, the point is, while I was traveling and studying (and eating), I made a point to write down all of the recipes that I loved, or at least notate a guestimate […]
the Flower Fields
If you live in the San Diego area, then you definitely know what I am talking about when I say that this year feels like a record breaking year in terms of wildflowers and greenery. San Diego has absolutely exploded with color these past few weeks, and I am loving it! Remember all of the […]
March Roundup
I’m starting another new series on the blog here today, a sort of monthly recap picked from my favorite Instagram moments. This is going to be a great way for me to look back on my month and share with you all of my highlights. I’m sure that some months my top moments will be […]
6 Month Check
I am 6 months into my 101 in 1001, and I am a mixture of, “it has only been 6 months?” and “it has already been 6 months?!?” Since my last check in (at month four), I’ve added 5 more goals to the completed list and have stayed steady at 13 for my goals in […]
El Pescador
I don’t think that we are alone on this – whenever we have out of town guests visiting, we basically have a go-to list of things to do and places to eat; pretty much the “don’t miss” spots in San Diego. And as far as food goes, we always make sure to make time for […]
