We love San Francisco, but prices are insane! If you are thinking of moving here maybe one of these castles is more in your budget.

Have a fantastic day!

Interweb Goodies

Every time we prepare this post its a little shocking and exciting that it is already Wednesday, AKA time for Interweb Goodies!

Meet amazing artist and feminist Carol Rossetti of Brasil! Her pieces are graphically and intellectually brilliant. Check out her tumblr as well as this article for her pieces translated into English. Many of her pieces are being translated into several languages (because she is awesome) but they all originate in Portuguese.

Tired of rocking your denim jacket for every breezy summer day? Check out Lucky Magazine's sweet alternatives for summer outerwear. 

An interesting take on how social media has changed restaurants and chefs. Is the change for the better? You can decide!

Bar Crawl via BART, what's not to love!? This SF Chronicle article shows you all the best bars that are walking distance from BART stations all across the bay.

Are you sitting down? You should be sitting down because HARRY POTTER IS BACK! Ok not entirely but there is new info on Harry and his graying hair via J.K. Rowling's latest Pottermore musings.



Have the best week ever!

Wizard Fashion

Happy Tuesday! As many of you know, I am a huge awards show junkie. I love them! Because really, what's not to love? This past Sunday's Golden Globes did not disappoint. Fashion, celebrities, sometimes drunk celebrities (yes I am  thinking of you Emma Thompson), and good jokes (Tina Fey's joke about Leonardo DiCaprio? Perfection). By far my favorite part was the fashion. My friend came over, we split a bottle of wine and gossiped about everyone's looks for the evening.

At first glance, our favorite Hogwart's attendee Emma Waston's dress looked great. At that point we only saw it from the waist up and we thought it was a good color and she looked fabulous.

Later on we saw a picture of the dress - whoa! It wasn't really a dress at all, more of a top with a long skirt in the front - or maybe just half a dress? Anyways, we loved it! I think it was so fun and daring. I would love to see this trend stay around for a while.

What did you all think of Emma's Dior gown? Do you think it's a trend that will stay?

AKA Reads

We both love to read!

Reading can be the perfect thing to do before you fall asleep at night, or the most amazing Sunday afternoon activity.

We are both currently re-reading the Harry Potter series, as we are both huge Harry Potter fans. It has been really fun to re-read and rediscover the series.  Its fun to find and discuss all the new links we've found and all the details we might have missed or forgotten since we were reading them as kids, as well as revisit some of the major differences between the books and movies.

Ashley is currently in a book club with one of our close friends and it has been a great way for them to read different styles of books and to keep each other motivated and on track with their reading. We thought it would be a fun idea to do with each other and anyone elsewho wants to join in!

Click on the books above to check out what we have been reading recently

(and where you can purchase the books in the East Bay!)

So grab a book and a friend and spend some time away from a screen (as I type and you read via a screen). Its really nice to read for yourself, rather than school or work. It can be a free vacation and great for relaxation if you let it. Revisit old books like we are and keep fining new favorites!

Let us know what your reading!
