Chhay plotted this proposal months in advance. He knew that Li loves flash mob proposals, and so he set out to craft the perfect flash mob, just for her. Friends flew in from all over the country and even Canada, and they had all individually learned the dance routine via a secret tutorial video. Two…

We walked amidst giants. The trees towered over us, scenting the air with that distinctive redwood smell. We breathed it in, grateful for this salubrious excursion outside the city. It was the perfect Presidents’ Day adventure with three of my friends, all newcomers to San Francisco. We kick it off with some images from the…
It’s been such a long time coming– I am so excited to show off my brand new office space! I scouted out nearly every option, from sticking to coffee shops (free!) to joining coworking spaces (not flexible enough) to leasing my own commercial space (too expensive), but none really fit my needs.

My boyfriend is quite the sweetheart. For my birthday, Jesse took me out to Quince, a newly-minted two-star Michelin restaurant in San Francisco (upgraded from one star last year). The service was impeccable, the food of course delightful, but most notably, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and not overly pretentious. Jesse even had them…
Stepping into the nave of Grace Cathedral, I let the sense of awe wash over me. It would be enough to walk into any church this beautiful, with the elegant stained glass and the expansive space, but there’s something extra special here: twenty miles of beautifully colored ribbons hanging from the ceiling. It is quietly…
Many thanks go to my friends and to my boyfriend for celebrating my birthday with me. Jesse flew in for a few days, escaping the snow in New York and trading it in for some sunny California adventures instead. Our first meal: Roka Akor, a Japanese robataya house. We got seated at the bar, right…
Thank you to my wonderful boyfriend Jesse for these lovely bouquets! He had the purple bouquet delivered to my door via FTD, and then surprised me with a second arrangement that was waiting for me at my office, which also happens to be a florist’s shop! Gorgeous, no? =) Anna Wu is a wedding a…

Edit: This giveaway is now closed. Winners will be announced on March 1, 2014. I am thrilled to announce a Same-Sex Wedding Giveaway, coast to coast, open to both San Francisco (my home base) and New York City. This project has been in the back of my mind for a very long time now. I’ve…
I am often guilty of taking tons of photos when I travel elsewhere but totally neglecting my own beautiful surroundings when I’m back in California. The solution? A hearty dose of staycation (vacationing at home!). My boyfriend Jesse was coming to San Francisco for a business conference, just as he did last year (when we…
