Palatial Pinings



Zara Blouse, Banana Republic Sweater, Banana Republic Skirt, Xhilaration Tights, Hue Socks, Gianni Bini Boots, and Gucci Sunglasses

I've traveled to San Francisco several times and somehow never quite made it to the Palace of Fine Arts. Last week I was there for the Thanksgiving holiday and was thrilled that we squeezed it in on our final day. I can assure you that it is far more beautiful in person especially if the weather is cooperating. The weather is notoriously fickle in San Francisco so I attempted to adapt by layering: socks and tights and a turtleneck sweater under a favorite blouse. Note to self: when layering make sure the base layer is fitted to avoid looking like a snowman.

How Do You Do?



Hello and welcome to Frou du Jour! First things first, the name game:

Frou frou (noun) /ˈfro͞oˌfro͞o/ 1. something fancy, elaborate and showy; a rustling sound, as of a silk dress.

Du Jour (adjective) /də ˈZHo͝or/ 1. Prepared for a given day.

I will be providing you with daily frous- little frivolous and (hopefully) beautiful tidbits that will distract you from whatever you need to be distracted from. My loves are many: fashion, food, interior design, travel, and I plan to share one a (week)day with you. I hope you enjoy! xx
