For a while now I have wanted to start a blog to share all of the pretty things in my world, the things that make me smile and excite me. There is a lot of beauty out there, and I would like to contain some of it for our collective viewing pleasure. I have wanted to write about food and fashion and travel and art and kitties, and now I am doing it. So welcome! And thank you for being here.

About me:

My name is Roseann.

I am a twenty-something girl with my degree in poetry, a bride-to-be planning her wedding to her high school sweetheart.

I live in San Francisco, the city that sparkles by the bay.

I help manage a recycled clothing store, and I love fashion.

I play soccer on Saturdays.

My family lives on the Big Island of Hawai'i, but I was born and raised in a small town in northern California.

I spent the fourth year of my undergrad studying English Literature in England and traveling throughout Europe.

I have a cat named Batman, but we call him Kitty.

I love to cook, dress up and host dinner parties, and take photographs of flowers.

This is the first ranunculus to bloom on my fire escape.
