Savvy Events: Freda Salvador Fall 2014 Launch Party
Cheers,
Savvy Events: Jouer & Nordstrom Beauty Trend Show
They will be taking appointments for complimentary makeovers by Jouer stylists, having some fun with a photo booth and giving out free gifts.
The best part is that Christina Zilber, the Founder and Creative Director of Jouer, will be there. She is quite an inspirational woman and it's great to be able to talk to the woman behind the brand.
On top of all the fun, Jouer is offering my readers an exclusive gift for anyone that mentions Savvy in San Francisco when you book your appointment! Let me know if you are going to attend.
Hope you are all having a beautiful day!

Children of Shelters - Santafest {San Francisco Events}
On Saturday, my family and I will be at Santafest at the Golden Gate Club in the Presidio. It is the 12th year that this event has been put on by the Children of Shelters organization. They have two events this year, the Jingle & Mingle on Thursday, December 5th and Santafest on Saturday, December 7th.
Last year both Children of Shelters raised enough funds from these two events to help provide park and rec classes for more than 50 children, summer camp for over 200 children, scholarships for eight students and over 150 birthday celebrations.
At the Santafest, children will be able to decorate gingerbread houses, enjoy breakfast, holiday crafts and take pictures with Santa. I hope to see you there! Let me know if you will be there, would love to say hi!
You can purchase tickets on the Children of Shelter's site here.
Happy Holidays!

Tasty Treats - Lucy Garden Lunch

| I loved all of the products they carried in their spa store including my own love knot necklace from local designer, Natasha Grosso and these amazing wood watches from WEWOOD. |

| Executive Chef Victor Scargle gave us a personal tour of his kitchen and Lucy's garden where they find the inspiration for that day's menu. |

I was excited to be invited to one of Yountville's top getaway spots, Bardessono, for a media lunch at their restaurant, Lucy. Bardessono is a Leed Platinum Certified Hotel located in the Napa Wine Country.
When we first arrived at Bardessono, we were first treated to a seasonal specialty fig cocktail, made for us by their resident mixologist, Brady Wilkens from Lucy Restaurant. With cocktail in hand we were given a tour of the hotel property including the rooftop pool (where I could spend hours), spa store and their beautifully designed hotel rooms.
We then were given a tour of the Lucy garden by Executive Chef Victor Scargle. Victor and his staff go out to the garden everyday to see what is fresh to inspire them for the menu that day.
Next we sat down at a gorgeous communal table situated in the middle of Lucy's gardens. We enjoyed a leisurely multi-course meal where every other person had a variety of different courses in order for us to sample all of the dishes that Lucy had to offer. Lucy's wine sommelier, Anani Lawson, came to share with us all of his wine pairings for the lunch. He shared two of his favorite local wineries to visit (though he said the list could go on forever) - Chase Cellars for their Zinfandel & Falla Wines for their Pinot Noir.
You can book the Lucy garden table in the Spring, Summer and Early Fall which includes a chef-led tour of their garden, a specialty cocktail prepared by their mixologist and then a multi-course meal at their communal garden table.
Thank you to Bardessono & Lucy for a delicious meal and a truly relaxing day in the wine country!

DSW - Shoe Lover Boxed Lunch Event
I recently co-hosted a fun boxed lunch event at DSW with three fabulous San Francisco fashion bloggers, Kristin of Style Nik/Racked SF, Maria of Kitties & Couture and Kate of The Fancy Pants Report. Who doesn't want to get together at lunch time to grab a quick bite, enjoy a margarita, hear about the shoe trends for fall and most importantly, SHOP?
We enjoyed some delicious 41 calorie margaritas from Laughing Glass Cocktails (they are delicious and from a local Bay Area company started by three savvy women in Marin) and a tasty boxed lunch from Beautifull.
DSW's stylist shared with us some of the hottest trends for Fall including shooties (think heel and bootie), metal tipped shoes and vintage boots are making a comeback!
If you haven't been to the DSW Union Square location, it is not to be missed. They have a huge selection of shoes (four floors) and a fabulous selection of designer shoes. I may or may not have picked up those Missoni and Givenchy heels pictured up above for a STEAL!
Happy savvy shopping!

Cheers to the Weekend

| Moscow Mules at Cafe des Amis |
Cheers to the weekend! This has been a such a long week, jam packed with too many commitments. Let this be a lesson to me not to say yes to everything. But it is really hard to turn down some really fun opportunities. Unfortunately, they all collided on the same week and I couldn't say no!
The rain (which was a surprise) which I normally am not a fan of, came at a great time this morning. It allowed us to stay put at home and take it easy (I potentially might still be in my pajamas as I type).
This week, I had a very fun media garden lunch and hotel tour up at Bardessono in Yountville, hosted a lunch event at DSW in Union Square, attended a Music in Schools Today charity event and went to the Greek Theater to watch three emerging artists from the Restoration Hardware Music label. I'm hoping to share more details about these events soon on the blog.
Next week is full of activities as well, but only three days of activities versus four - that shows I'm cutting back, right?
What are you up to this weekend?

Napa Valley Festival Del Sole - Meadowood Gala
.JPG)
The Festival Gala at the prestigious Meadowood Resort was a Great Gatsby-esque gala (everyone was asked to wear white). The gala started with sparkling wine while we watched a croquet game and glanced at the items that were auctioned off at the end of the evening.
We then moved down to the fairway to enjoy a deliciously prepared alfresco dinner by the award-winning culinary team at Meadowood. The three course meal was paired perfectly with wines from Lokoya and Intrada wines.
During the meal we were entertained by the Concord Jazz All Stars and then after the meal we were able to watch the live auction that included some amazing packages. My favorite package was a week long stay in NYC that included a breakfast at Tiffany & Co. experience! The auction benefited the local arts education programs and other local charities.
It was a wonderful event and Carlos and I really enjoyed ourselves. The Festival del Sole is a great opportunity to get a closer look at some of your favorite wineries and local Napa Valley favorites while enjoying the arts. Next year I would love to attend one of the brunch events at a local winery, take the kids to the one of the family concerts and try out the Yoga in the Vineyard.
Cheers,
*I received complimentary tickets from Festival del Sole for the Meadowood Gala, but my thoughts and opinions expressed here are my own.
