enjoying the sites, sounds, and tastes of California coast to coast
Halloween is a turning point in the year, when back to back holidays make your head spin, and the year just dissipates into pies and turkeys and hams and champagne. I’m no scrooge, but I have always hated dressing up for the event – I just don’t get the elaborate costumes, that putrid scent of […]
As a San Diego gal, my wardrobe consists mostly of light pieces that I can bundle up depending on the temperature – and I’m finding it’s a perfect way to move into Northern California’s fall weather. Most of my SD mid-winter outfits are perfect for late October, while the days are still reaching the 80s, […]
After working retail for years, it’s rare that I’m in the mood to enter in a store and just browse around- the mindset to spot merchandising opportunities or wrecked piles is still strong within me! But as a hopeful future shop owner myself, it’s something I recognize I need to do consistently to gain some […]
Dating a musician is definitely not all fun and games, especially when you try to be a supportive gf and make it to each and every show! Mikey is a drummer, a pretty stellar one at that, and has about a million projects going on right now – enough to give a girl an aneurysm […]

My cutie BFF Caroline recently traveled from my old stomping grounds in sunny San Diego to go on an eating and drinking binge with me up here. Caroline and I became fast pals, and not having her constant companionship has been rough- missing those wine and homemade taco nights, her taking the pup out and […]
I don’t know about you guys, but I miss the ole days of long arm Myspace picture – before the invention of the mirror selfie. That high up angle gets the whole ‘fit in there: face, hair, shoes, and all, plus major slimming effects amiright? I don’t know who to send this petition to, I’ve […]
I’m a big supporter of “Sunday Funday” – being as how that is my only weekend day off, and doubles as the only day off I have with my man! He’s a busy dude (sucks to date a popular guy, hence my ability to craft a website in my free time!), and getting a full […]
It’s a weird name for a site, doesn’t seem to make much sense, but the origin story of Baikley encapsulates what you can expect from me. About 10 years ago, I was working as a department manager for Nordstrom SF, and “Words with Friends” was the newest sensation. My girls kept encouraging me to play […]
