Project 52 {8}

Happy weekend friends!

I've had the pleasure of my mom's company all week. And although she's been on her own during the day while Jay and I are at work, she's been having fun exploring our neighborhood. She loves the liveliness of the city and that so many things are accessible just blocks away from the apartment.

She has especially been enjoying our fresh produce market steps away from our front door. It's one of the things I enjoy as well, so much so that it's led to this week's Project 52 installment.

Project 52 {7}

I love my apartment. It's small but bright and airy. We get a lot of natural sunlight (even though San Francisco is known for foggy days). As much as there is to do outside in the bustling city, there are days that I just want to stay in because I truly love our living space.

Even though outside my window there's noise from people, cars and buses that go along with city living, my sunny bedroom feels like a bright cottage of peace and quiet. It's the love of my small space bedroom which led to this week's Project 52 installment.

Happy Valentine's Day

Today marks a very dear anniversary, nine years together with Jay! I can't believe how quickly time has passed and how love does truly grow even more with time.

Wishing everyone a beautiful  and loving day.

Project 52 {6}

When Jay and I lived in Michigan, we knew we were very lucky to be living in a neighborhood surrounded by many of our closest friends. It's just the way it happened to work out.

Many of us settled down in a handful of suburbs around the Detroit area, like Berkley or Royal Oak. We would get together often for a yoga class, a walk to our neighborhood ice cream shop or a cocktail after work. Sometimes our outings were planned but most often it was an impromptu phone call that triggered a fun meet up.

It's taken some time, but I feel like I'm beginning to cultivate similar friendships in San Francisco. There's definitely something to be said about friends you have history with (from grade school or college), but it's also really important to make new friends and begin new histories! It's this idea that led to this week's installment of Project 52, have a look!

Living in San Francisco means you cannot get very far in heels (oh so many hills!) so I have welcomed the addition of flats to my style. I'm always looking for a new pair to add to my ever growing collection.

My friend Jennifer introduced me to some very cute flats by Tieks, a company that's putting a designer twist on standard ballet flats. Tieks was actually started by one of her husband's grad school classmates. I love a good entrepreneurial story, so I pulled the trigger and made a purchase.

My Tieks arrived in the mail this week and I was immediately won over by the beautiful packaging. I also love all the extras that came with my order, including a little travel bag (small enough to stash in your purse) for days I wear heels in the morning and give up by the evening.

I ordered my ballet flats in clover green, which I think will perk up many of my winter outfits!

Welcome February!

This week was full of moments that just felt right. We had a dear friend visiting from Michigan, so we took her to a few of our favorite spots, but also ended up discovering new ones. It reminded me of how much more there is to explore and experience here.

I've mentioned before that I've always wanted to live in San Francisco. I still find myself waking up in my apartment two years later, smiling that this is my home. With that in mind, I bring you my latest installment of Project 52.
