what else to do in san francisco -

-

um . . .

-

-

and, um . . .

-

-

maybe more  . . .

-

-

and document each other:

-

 -

and of course, 

fly home.

-

-

exotic and delicious - the sf dining moments

-

short weekend trip, but we ate well, as usual.

-

-

evie insisted on driving us everywhere,

which led to this very hitchcock moment.

-

and also, this very typically us moment at foreign cinema:

-

-

that booth has seen far too much of us.

-

then there was some time spent here:

-

-

drinking and eating like this:

-

-

that last dish is a buckwheat spaghetti with pork belly ragu, bacon, frizzled char, and golden raisins.

yes, drool.

-
then tackling an old favorite:
-

tim and i also got back to house of nanking:

-

-

it's just a plate of mushrooms.  and yet so much more than that.

-

but the best part of san francisco dining is always 

the "dining with evie" part.

-

-

it pretty much takes, you know,

the cake.

-

tim johnson and the fine art of re-invention -

-

my husband is a rather amazing man.

he has followed me to new cities when i had a chance to re-invent our life,

or even just my career.

-

he has deferred luxuries in order for me to pursue dreams,

he has given me classes and equiptment over clothing and toys,

so that i can find my passion,

he has put himself through school by waiting tables

in order to change his own life

and his own path.

-

he has started and run his own businesses,

reformed major companies' ways of doing business,

played with new technology when no one would,

and proven it to be not only viable,

but superior.

-

he learned to produce shoots when i had no producer.

-

and now,

he begins another verse

(for that's what his life is more than a book, it's a sonata, a symphony.)

in his own life.

-

tim is taking on the re-invention of a retail fashion brand

with our beloved evelyn lee

by assisting her in re-imagining their e-commerce

as she re-imagines the brand.

-

-

it's a huge task,

but for those of you who have known us awhile,

not one he is unfamiliar with.

-

it also means some commuting,

from here to san francisco and back,

so we left last week for a jaunt up to see the lay of the land,

to visit old friends and new spaces,

and to rethink how our lives work,

again.

-

-

can you tell he's ready for the challenge??

GRIS MEANS GRAY -

-

-

the DAMIR DOMA runway show

reminds me of how much i like wrappy things

and odd proportions

and gray.

-

-

in the parking lot at fred segal's

the PERFECT COLOR TO PAINT VESPER.

-

-

jo out with me at a sushi lunch.

i like that she always tries to match my moods.

gray.  and chic.

-

-

a new favorite.

barrett eidson.

more of him to come.

-

pretty things worth posting (early march edition with some stuff thrown in from february and january because it took me this long to get back up to speed so sue me.) -

-

-

during new york fashion week,

some guy stripped and did an erotic dance for a cigarette at an after party.

i need to go to more after parties.

-

-

any boy who has STRENGTH and COURAGE,

only, you know, in latin,

tatted on his thighs,

and has a blog as good as this:

katelovesme.net 

is someone i can endorse.

keep it up pretty prince pelayo.

i'm watching.

-

-

the JULIUS runway show,

which reminded me that THIS 

CAN

be my office attire

when the directing and photography really take off.

(note i said WHEN.  the bounce is happening.)

-

-

as if you had any doubt.
