hearty

friends!  happy hearts day!

i am in lovely san francisco this week helping a friend style a shoot of her apartment.  we’ve spent the day running around shopping, eating eggs benedict and smiling at all the cute boys carrying flowers to their ladyfriends.  the weather has been absolutely gorgeous today – it’s that kind of day that makes you wonder ‘why in the world don’t i live in california??’.

flower shopping this afternoon

a few goodies i picked up to bring home

i’m staying in a fantastic apartment in the mission.  right now, from the porch, i can see across the city – a sea of sparkling lights – and i can hear someone upstairs practicing violin.  i’m feeling pretty lucky, inspired and worn out from a long day.  if i can just find a cupcake somewhere (brian meares got 12, me: none), i’m ready to call this valentine’s a success.
