Five Things

October 12th, 2012

{Magical dusk at the Petit Ermitage pool}

Yesterday we arrived in Northern California and were greeted with brisk temperatures and abundant fog – it’s so good to be home. Tomorrow is the last stop of my book tour in San Francisco (details here) and I’m looking forward to seeing everyone there! The next few days should be relaxed – catching up on TV shows, a trip to the California Academy of Sciences, spending time with old friends, and enjoying my dad’s cooking. Have a great weekend.

I wish that my “bad” hair days looked like that!
Wow, you have a pumpkin carving party? That is SO cool. I’m trying to keep the promise to myself that I would carve one this Halloween.

We go to Mill Valley a few times a year, and always stop off at Joe’s. Fell in love with that habanero-lime one in the middle! And was able to finally purchase some at Little Vine in North Beach.

Hi Emily, a fashion question: I am looking for the perfect, flattering opaque black tights to wear with skirts and heels. I like Hue and Spanx; is there one you love? Thanks. Enjoy your fashion sense; recently bought the Alice and Olivia silky navy pants. Wearing them often!!

I love all of the different shades in your hair. The braid and cute clip definitely changed the ‘bad hair day’ look.
Enjoy your relaxing weekend!

Omg Emily I couldn’t believe it when I saw you on Glamour magazine mexican edition, I was so happy they also mentioned your book you’re such an inspiration! Congratulations, I’d have like to upload the picture but I don’t know how to do that
Lots of love from Mexico
