Stylish Sneakers for Travel

My favorite stylish sneakers for travel, just in time for my trip to Japan! The perfect balance of style and comfort that will keep you looking great.

I announced on Instagram today that I’m headed to Japan next week! I’ll be spending 9 days in Okinawa and Tokyo. It’s my first time in Japan and I would love your recs on things to do, see and eat while I’m there! Hit me up in the comments below.

Inevitably packing for a trip makes me realize I don’t have quite the perfect (insert clothing item here) that I want for my adventure. This time, it was the perfect stylish sneakers for walking the busy streets of Tokyo. Comfort is a priority obviously, but because of the many shots I’ll be taking holding food, they sure as heck better look cool too!

In my research, here were the top contenders…. Read More »

A look at our 2016 Holiday Cards, which is a special annual tradition for us! In order to support independent designers, we chose Minted for our cards.

Every year, I look forward to shooting our holiday photos for months. We always try to do something that reflects our personalities and highlights the beautiful city we live in.

I Need New Boots – Flat Booties on Sale

‘Tis the season for boots and booties! Here are some ideas for flat booties that you can wear this holiday season, and all of them are on sale!

As we start to pack for holiday travel, I’m realizing that I’m lacking a nice pair of flat booties. They’ve been on my list for a while, but I kept putting off making the purchase, mostly because it’s been in the 70’s here in San Francisco until last week! Now we’re headed to the Midwest and planning a Spring trip to Iceland. Guess I’m overdue for a sensible but chic pair to travel in.

Black Friday is coming, so it’s the perfect time to invest in a nice pair of booties, at a huge discount. I detest the holiday shopping crowds, so I made my purchase online though the Shopbop Black Friday sale! You can save 15-25% off depending on your purchase amount.
