Long weekend in Carmel-by-the-Sea

2 months ago | teresawu.substack.com | Teresa Wu

Last weekend, we headed back to NorCal for the wedding of one of my oldest friends. I loved catching up with my friend’s parents (who have known me since I was the tiniest of tots), filling in the blanks of the last 20 years with David who sat behind me in Saturday Chinese school, and reminiscing with my college roommates about all the shenanigans we go…
Tea notes: Closing weekend at the lake

Hi friends! How’s your October going? The past weekend was “closing weekend” in our lake town. Everyone pulls their boats out of the water in anticipation of the first freeze, and the little seasonal boutiques and restaurants start closing up shop. We drove up from Denver late on Friday afternoon, dropped off the dogs, and headed straight to the lodge fo…

Hi friends,Writing you from my homely little abode, where I’ve been contemplating our Simply White walls while scheming about painting my house in terracotta hues, filling it with potted palms, and tiling every visible surface…While I won’t actually get swept up in redesigning my entire home, I did *take notes* on the alluring interiors — and exteriors! — of Morocco. Today, I’m talking about seven details I loved and the design lessons I’m taking home with me:Courtyards, ya’ll.
Tea notes: GNO dinner, cozy books to read this month, and a carry-on packing guide

And just like that… it feels like fall. We celebrated my girlfriend’s birthday at Brasserie Brixton last night. I love dinner with the girls because one, they fully appreciate your new earrings*, and two, you can get away with ordering like this: Champagne, fries, caviar, pate. Early this morning, we loaded the pups, refrigerator remnants, and haphazard…
Tea notes: The soup of the season, restaurant playlists, and socks school

Fall mornings at the lake. A few years back, fires charred huge swaths of the national forest near us. Nearly 200,000 acres of land burned — it was the largest fire in Rocky Mountain National Park’s 100+ year history. We’ve long wondered if and when we’d see regrowth. This fall, I started noticing little yellow pockets of aspen trees emerging. A little r…

Hi! It’s been busy-busy around here. Our dog sitter lives permanently at our house now. I got back from Las Vegas last night, where between the canal shops and the line for boarding group B, I bumped into five different friends who were in the city for various work events. It feels like all my girlfriends are in the thick of heavy corporate travel / getting that Q4 pipeline. Is this you, too?
Tea notes: A guide to black tie optional and how to travel with friends

2 months ago | teresawu.substack.com | Teresa Wu

Mine’s been kind of a doozy (not that you asked, hahah). Our sweet cavapoo, my little soul dog, went to the ER for a herniated disc, cancelling our plans for a weekend at the lake with out-of-town friends. Between frantic runs to the vet, we tried to make the most out of staying in the city: a last minute Red Rocks show, a hote…
How we travel: Kerry Murrill on going to the Paris Games

2 months ago | teresawu.substack.com | Teresa Wu

Bonjour, mes amis! If you thought today was the day I finally closed the door on the Olympics, you were mistaken. Following the pandemicky experience that was watching Tokyo’s desolate Games from afar, the collective effervescence surrounding Paris felt wonderful. Contagious. Life affirming.
