What do you wear to interview one of the most stylist people in the state? That's the question that's been plaguing me since I found out I will be sitting across from the dazzling designer Trina Turk for the 2012 Design San Francisco Keynote.
The imaginative vignettes at San Francsico's Dzine always mix the latest in European design with owner Cardenio Petrucci's ingenious styling sense (think rotary phones and bundled newspapers). But to show off the latest offerings from Flos, he called in some professional help. Nicole Hollis created Dzine's premiere window display as part of what Petrucci hopes is a series of installations by the best Bay Area designers.
This past weekend my mother was in town, so I've been doing more shopping, cooking and cleaning than usual. The dinner parties were a blast, but it's no wonder I could barely get up for work once Monday morning rolled around. I was beat.

This past weekend I sat down with a group of designers, event planners and floral designers and asked them to share their secrets for holiday decorating with myself and members of the Junior League Palo Alto Mid Peninsula. It was all part of the Finishing Touches Home Tour, a popular event where a handful of people open up their homes—all of them decked out in their holiday best.
This morning SFMOMA and Snøhetta revealed to a salivating (and caffeinated—thanks to the always-popular complimentary coffee) group of journalists the detailed renderings of the latest version of the museum's 245,000-square-foot expansion, set to be completed in early 2016.

From the arch to air conditioning, the 100 Ideas that Changed Architecture are at once brilliant, funny and full of "well, yeah, I never thought of it that way before" moments.
