i drink too much coffee

Sometimes I worry that people will think I'm too boring. I mean, I always make a joke about being predictable but there are so many bloggers out there with their cute fancy ensembles yet I'm here posting a shirt, cardigan, and jeans... how boring! Well in any case, I wore this just to get coffee so any effort that I would have made to look decent would have gone to waste since I wasn't planning on going anywhere. But you know what? I'm okay with looking like this 70% of the time and sharing it even if it is boring. I hope you guys are too.

By the way, I still think this is relevant.

In other news, I'm working on a summer playlist right now. So far I have 17 songs but I'm still trying to work out the order. Many of them have already been featured here, thanks to everyone who actually takes the time to listen to the songs that I post!

Feeling sick but I managed to get out for a bit to get a sandwich and cheese at Bi-Rite after sleeping 12+ hours last night. I don't usually photoshop my pictures but I had a pretty gnarly aioli stain on my top which was too embarrassing to leave alone since I apparently can't eat without spilling like a normal person. That aside, ham and swiss sandwiches from Bi-Rite are one of my favorite things to eat of all time mostly because it's just a baguette, meat, cheese, tomatoes, and aioli and I never like having too much on my sandwiches to begin with.

I didn't talk about the weather for once but still managed to go on a tangent about food. Apparently I don't have anything interesting to say about what I'm wearing! It's boring anyway. Oh, it may be a little late to mention this but I have a few spots open for ads if anyone is interested. Shoot me an email if you are!

I wore this to walk to McDonalds a couple days ago. No joke. Fast food cravings aside, the weather SF finally hit 80 degrees and damn, it was HOT. I was sweating even in a dress that could easily pass off as a nightie. Unfortunately this only lasted two or three days: today's temperature refused to pass the 60s and the rest of the week doesn't seem very promising. Oh well.

"Amor Fati" - Washed Out

blue bottle and miette

I think I spend more time at the Ferry Building by myself than with other people. While it's fun to grab lunch and a drink with someone, I love being able to explore places like this leisurely and at my own pace. I usually start by window shopping at Sur La Table and work my way down the main hall stopping by each section to sample olive oil, cheese, etc. and finally end up at Blue Bottle. BEST ICED COFFEE EVER. It was nice to pick up a cup and sit down at the bar while watching people walk by.

Speaking of people watching, when I was sitting at Blue Bottle I noticed a pretty girl in line at Miette wearing a really cute outfit featuring a Fjallraven backpack. When I finished my drink a couple minutes I decided to get some macarons to go (rose and vanilla for anyone who's curious) so I wandered over and got in line. While I snapped these pictures to kill time I was surprised by a tap on the shoulder, it was that same girl I had noticed before: turns out she recognized me because of this blog! So awesome. If you're reading this, Mimi, it was great meeting you!

Impromptu beach trip! It wasn't exactly 80 degrees like the last time I was there but the clear skies and sun were enough to keep us warm although it was still windy. The best part about Baker Beach is it's proximity since it's only 15 minutes away from where I live. I was a little under prepared since my friend texted me last minute that we were going so I spent most of the time talking about food cravings and wishing I had a Coca Cola. Oh well, at least the warm sand felt nice.

When I was growing up in the SGV, trips to the beach were surprisingly scarce. Maybe it was the unavoidable traffic in LA that deterred us but I was never really into going to the beach to begin with. Or maybe I was too angst-ridden and pessimistic as a kid and hated anything that was remotely fun or too crowded. I always dismiss the idea of moving back to LA but sometimes I'm tempted to move down south again just to see if my experience there would be different now that I'm an adult no longer living with my parents. I'm not ready to leave San Francisco yet but who knows? We'll see.

In case you couldn't tell, the only times I'm really able to get shots of my outfits are when I'm hanging out with someone else while it's still light out on a day off. Same old deal, same old deal. Not even going to complain about the "summer" weather like I always do. Took these yesterday after a date at Tartine which preceded a trip to the movie theater downtown. Also somehow ended up this one Carl's Jr. downtown which never fails to have at least one crazy incident occurring with each visit. This time a confused patron propped open the restroom door with a chair to keep an eye on her belongings outside while I had a full and clear view of whatever business she was taking care of. Perfect way to end the night!

(can't tell if my eyes are closed or open in that last one, oh booooy)

Yikes at my wonky eyes. I like my hair color in these photos, it seems to drastically change shades every time the lighting changes. In Sephora one day my friend stopped to tell me that my hair looked almost golden under the harsh lights while no one really seems to notice when I'm out at night. I neglected to tell my mom hoping she would notice on my blog eventually and when I brought it up today and jokingly berated her for not reading my blog regularly she retaliated by saying, "You never post anyway." Thanks, Mom.

Met with Megan last week before she left for New York to grab lunch at St. Francis Fountain. I needed a bit of a pick-me-up so I went straight for a Coca Cola float as soon as I got there: nothing beats eating dessert before your meal. Our floats even came with cute paper straws!

I've been on huge burger kick lately and can't help but order a burger whenever I eat out. I'd had breakfast here before but had yet to try something from the lunch menu. The bacon may have been a little excessive especially after I'd downed that entire Coke float but I'm just going to repeat the same phrase that I employ whenever I start to ponder certain questionable choices: "no regrets."
