Davis Cup San Diego

After going to the Davis Cup tie in Boise last year, I couldn't wait to go to another tie. Well, the tennis gods were kind and the 1st round this year is in San Diego. USA versus Great Britain, with Andy Murray headlining. I can't wait for the first rubber!

Top 5: Essential Shoes

In High Fidelity, Rob determines top 5 lists incessantly. It can be a little obsessive, but it's all in good fun.

Over the years, I have gone through phases with shoes, from having a large collection to only wearing a few pairs down to the ground. Lately I've been paring down my collection to well-made, comfortable shoes. It's nice to have shoes that you can rely on, if you know what I mean.

Ankle Boot: Rachel Comey 'Mars' $395

D'Orsay Flat: Jenni Kayne $450 or Chinese Laundry $60

Strappy Sandal: Louise et Cie 'Olive' $120

Classic Tennies: New Balance for J.Crew '620' $80

Menorcan Sandal: Poms de Avarcas $77

Currently No. 1

I remember Cameron Crowe talking about making mixtapes when he was younger, how they were capsules of his mood, interests, and taste. It's always so interesting to flip back through pages pulled from magazines or old blogs posts.

Here are a few things currently on my mind...

(1) Halona Glass Arrow Tail Suncatcher  (2) Savon de Marseille Extra Pur Liquid Soap
(3) Chinese Laundry D'Orsay Flats  (4) Fieldguided Vu de l'Extérieur Print
(5) Modernica Case Study Planter with Stand  (6) Brilliant Earth Rose Gold Diamond Studs

New Year's Wisdom

Happy New Year! I have a good feeling about 2014, how about you?

I'm making a few resolutions for 2014, mostly about forming good habits (Have you read The Power of Habit?) and putting myself out there more often.

I hope these words speak to you and inspire you to make 2014 the best year yet.
