Wendice Coat $188 (anthropologie.com), left; Rosevine Lace Full Foot Tights $14 (urbanoutfitters.com); and No-Place-Like-Home Flats $138 (anthropologie.com)
Cool weather means cute coats, and I found a super sweet one at Anthropologie I’m definitely writing to Santa about. I’m also stocking (get it?) up on tights to transform my skirt and dress collection into something more fall/winter-ready, with these floral lace ones from UO on the radar. And, of course, I’m enamored with these sequin flats, also from Anthropologie, that could bring some holiday cheer and comfort to a work ensemble. I may or may not be humming Christmas carols to myself right now…

This weekend we are going to see Casablanca at Cinema Under The Stars – an outdoor theater in Mission Hills – and I highly recommend you check out a film there before they finish for the season at the end of the month!
Last year we also waited until the end of the season, but I kind liked being able to snuggle in the blanket they provide with a hot cup of coffee or hot chocolate. We saw Young Frankenstein (LOVE it), and swore we’d come back. While it is a little pricey at $13.50 each, I think if you live in San Diego you’ve got to go at least once.
They show old and new movies, provide zero-gravity lounge seating and couches in the back, a blanket, concession stand and lots of outdoor heat lamps. Plus, you get to watch a movie “under the stars,” which is pretty awesome. If you’re hungry beforehand, your ticket also gets you discounts at some local eateries. There is a different movie every weekend, and unless you are a member you have to go in person to buy your ticket(s) for the Thurs., Fri. or Sat. shows, which they start selling at 6 p.m. every Thurs. If you don’t get your ticket Thurs. for any of that weekend’s showings, chances are they will sell out. The remaining movies this month are Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Star Trek 2009 and The Big Lebowski.
Burger Lounge "Hostess"-style cupcake with creamy espresso/vanilla bean center.
Anyone who knows me can tell you I don’t like burgers. Yes, there are exceptions, but there is a long, LONG list of very specific reasons why I generally wouldn’t touch them with a ten-foot-long stick. So I was very surprised to find that I’m obsessed with Burger Lounge.

Techy blogger/graphic designer Andy from the very cool Andy Law Design Blog just put up an interview he did with me about my blog! Thanks buddy!
Check it out here.
Hopefully I’ll have better pictures soon, but just thought I’d put a quick post up on how our costumes turned out! I went as Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Ryker went as Fletch (amazing Chevy Chase flick – a classic). Not too shabby if I do say so myself.
