2014 New Years Resolutions

2014 NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS:

1.  Travel more.

2.  Ease up on my OCD tendencies-I'm beyond a neat freak!

3. Nourish the friendships worth keeping and sever ties with those not worth salvaging.

4. Save more $$$-that's difficult for a fashionista!

5. Cook more often, including experimenting with different types of dishes.

6. Exercise at least three days every week- I am pretty lazy, so I need all of my blogger friends to motivate me…PLEASE!

7. Network more- I'm so lucky to have access to a wonderful community of bloggers and tastemakers.

8. Read more often- With work monopolizing my time, I have neglected reading for pleasure. Any book recommendations?

9. Volunteer- I feel so privileged to be able to live a comfortable life, so it's important for me to help those less fortunate.

10. Blog more-This is my passion, and I can't wait to introduce some new facets to SF Shop Girl in the New Year.

I am so thankful for all of the support I have received from all of you in 2013, and I am wishing EVERYONE a bountiful, joyous and healthy NEW YEAR!

2013...You're up! It's Time to Cohabitate!

I normally stick to posting about fashion, but I wanted to kick off the year with some exciting news! My boyfriend and I plan on cohabitating, come February, so we are on a ferocious hunt to find an architecturally classic San Francisco apartment!  I'm a minimalist, a bit OCD, and extremely particular, while he's a maximist (Is that a word?), a bit disheveled, and painstakingly laid back.  He really is the yin to my yang.  The over controlling yet creative right side of my brain is super exhilarated to design a space of our very own.  My design aesthetic has evolved quite drastically over the years, but at the moment I'm extremely drawn to reclaimed materials, minimalistic detailing, and bright airy spaces.  I hope you enjoy the above inspiration!

Happy New Years to you and yours!
