Shopping in Union Square followed by a nice stroll up Geary always makes me feel the hustle and bustle of San Francisco. I consider it my practice for New York later this week.

Hope you're all having a relaxing Labor Day!

Something about this time of year always makes me miss the feeling of going back to school. Luckily, with a flirty pleated skirt and a new chic satchel, I feel ready to hit the books (or in this case, September issues)!

Happy Labor Day everyone!

I've been on the hunt for a new chic work bag for a while now -- and folks, this gorgeous little number from the lovely folks at Foley + Corinna does just the trick!

I have to say it, guys. I am completely blown away. After reading through the many heartfelt comments for the Bobbi Brown Pretty Powerful giveaway that I posted about last week -- I was so incredibly inspired. Needless to say, narrowing down a winner has been a tough decision but I'd like to announce that Courtney of I Can Be Many Things has won the Pretty Powerful makeup palette!

Here's an excerpt of what she wrote about her mom that really resonated with me:

"Mom never shows her emotions, always works works works for others, always appears so strong on the outside. It makes me wonder how she does it. She says her love for us keeps her living, and she does everything for us. Since I'm a Mom I know exactly what she's talking about since there's NOTHING I wouldn't do for my baby. That's what is powerful: the unbreakable bond and borderlineCRAZY love that comes with being a mother!" 

Courtney, I'll be emailing you shortly about your prize! Congrats! And huge thank you to everyone who entered! I loved reading through each and every comment!
