san fran

in case you can't tell, i went to san francisco....and obviously i had a blast eating and drinking my way through the entire city!!  i cannot thank y'all enough for leaving me comments on what to do while i was there.  i seriously took advice from everyone.....in case you don't believe me:
callie- i loved cow hollow and alcatraz was so cool, loved the audio tour
brittanie- i totally took your advice and made sure to eat susie cakes and pepples organic doughnut...i got salted cameral and man was it awesome!!
laura- i could live in the ferry building...and i did....i think i ate their 4x's....loved mission st- la taqueria and san jose were amazing...definitely authentic mexican vs. what we are use to here!
lizzy- went to every street you listed: filmore, chestnut, union....had a blast peeking in the small boutiques
megan- you know we had to go to wine country....although didn't do the marathon to get there :)  but enjoyed those wine tasting a lot!!
kasey- tartine- HELLO!!  fabulous!
teryl- i have to hand it to you- lunch at la boulange was the best ever....and the atmosphere was so inspiring!!
kelley p- again, can't say enough about the alcatraz tour (wish it hadn't rained on us but it made it fun) and chinatown was a great place to eat and get good gifts to take back for the kids
andi- all i can say is that "crossroads" is the BEST store ever....why can't i have one here?  seriously, best deals on major clothing labels...i had to set a limit or i would have bought the whole store!
caroline- so excited we made it to the farmer's market at the ferry building on sat. AM- it was the best meal we had all week....we had lox w/ cream cheese, dirty girl tomato, and it came on acme sourdough bread-OMG my mouth is watering...and of course i had to get a blue bottle dip coffee (in fact, i think i got one everyday)
i swear we did other things besides eat and drink- i hiked up to coit tower, ran up lombard street (and almost died from the hills), went to fisherman's wharf/ ghiradelli square, got a muni pass and road the cable cars (and all other public transportation...so proud of myself for figuring it out), went to beach blanket babylon, went to a book reading at city lights, rented a car and drove on route 1 and the golden gate bridge, toured vineyards, and mostly walked all over the city just taking it in.....i can't say enough about my experience.  i have to say a huge thank you to my brother for inviting me to tag along on his work trip.  colin, it was a true blast and one i will remember/ cherish forever!!  thank you.....

Striking a cord!

Kit Heath are pleased to introduce cord as their new addition to the Autumn and Winter 2011 collection. 

The Tumble collection is simplicity at its very best captured by our designers, it includes a silver and gold version of a classic cord bracelet embellished with tumbled pebbles of Kit Heath Sterling silver.

Inspired by the tumbled stones along our Devon coastline, the tumbled silver and gold is incredibly tactile and smooth.

The bracelets are complimented by a necklace and a pair of simple studs which can be worn together for a complete delicate evening look or just on its own for a more casual "Saturday lunch with the ladies" look!

The 18ct gold plated silver bracelet is £55rrp and the silver is £45rrp both are available from all Kit Heath stockists this autumn.

We're a fan of the gold because it makes our diminishing tans appear that little bit more vibrant as the winter evenings draw in! To see more of the Tumble collection please visit our website.

 

We love the sandblasted detail on the middle pebble of this necklace and bracelet!

If neckwear is more your thing, you are a fan of colour and gemstones then the Carve necklace collection could well win you over. 

The cord and silver necklaces come in four different colours/stones; Turquoise, Smokey Quartz, Grey Agate and Blue Lace agate and all are priced at £40rrp. 

All the necklaces have complimentary coloured cords and all clasps and finishings are sterling silver, even the stone is finished off with a silver roundel with the Kit Heath stamp which gives our necklaces the Kit Heath mark of quality our customers are familiar with. 

We love this more casual necklace and see it being worn all day every day. If you want to see more on our cord jewellery you can visit our webite or view our latest newsletter!
