I hope you all had a very merry Christmas, a happy Hanukkah, a happy Kwanzaa, a fabulous Festivus (for the rest of us), and a happy holiday season! Although my family was one person short this year due to the loss of my grandfather (which I suppose I’m still working my way toward discussing […]
Regardless of your political affiliation, you must admit the First Family takes a beautiful photo As part of my slight (read: total) obsession with Anthropologie, I was surprised and pleased to see Malia wearing an Anthro fav, the blue dress by Westin Wear. Westin Wear makes their clothes in San Francisco, which adds to my […]
According to the news, today is the busiest traveling day of the year. The malls will be busy, the parking lots a battlefield, and the streets more jammed than usual. A few moments of zen: • do you ever celebrate the green lights? • remember that silence is sometimes the best answer • things to […]
So every year, I go back and forth with myself and the paycheck right before Christmas about whether or not I’m “doing gifts” this year. The thing is, I have always felt like if I get a gift for one person, I should get something for everyone in my life. Although often times it feels […]
Is there anything more fun than San Francisco during Christmastime? No. The answer is no. Before the holiday season is over, check out just a few of my favorite events that you can only find during Christmastime in the most beautiful city in the world (in my [not so] humble opinion).

ANY CHARACTER HERE Part of the fun of the holiday season is a good holiday party. Typically before heading to an event at someone’s home, I will drop by the closest Trader Joe’s and pick up a bottle of wine or dessert, but for my sorority sister’s holiday party this weekend past, I decided to […]
Of the many reasons why I appreciate the holiday season, one in particular is the friendly reminder that now, more than ever, is the time to help those in need. A couple of times a year, I rummage through my shelves, pour through my drawers and scour through my closet for new or almost lightly […]
Wanderlust, for the purpose of Wine and Wanderlust, is not simply about the desire to travel the world, rather the journey and joys of traveling within one’s self and one’s environment so we may embrace and share our unique human experiences. I was introduced to Luke by way of Twitter through a Aida, a mutual […]
Inspired equally by Julie Andrews’s “These Are a Few of My Favorite Things” song in The Sound of Music, Oprah’s “Favorite Things”, and Emily’s “Five Things”, I knew upon creating this blog that I wanted to dedicate a special space to treasures that I hold dear. For my inaugural “A Few of My Favorite Things” […]
