"All business, no play." Can you believe some dude on the street hollered that at me as if it were a pick up line? What the hell? Seriously dude, you saw me from half a block away and that's the best you could come up with? COME ON!

Working on a mini make over for this blog. I haven't touched this layout in over two years so we'll see how far I get........

"Pura Saudade (Nova Bossa Nova)" - Fantastic Plastic Machine

i'm on a lake

H&M blazer and tank, Siwy shorts, Coach satchel, Converse sneakers, Karen Walker sunglasses

Went to Lake Tahoe last weekend for some much needed sun and relaxation. I forgot to take my camera out for most of the trip I was there but managed to snap these on the first day. I posted a few pictures from my phone on my Tumblr but nothing beats the real thing: I can't even begin to describe how beautiful the scenery was. I want to go back!

green again

Acne dress, Gap denim jacket, Rachel Comey boots, Karen Walker sunglasses, Fjallraven backpack

I'm surprised I managed to take photos this weekend, my left eye was droopy and swollen from really intense allergies so my sunglasses only came off when they absolutely had to at night. These were taken on the first foggy day we've had in a while but I insisted on refusing to wear tights just one last time. I'm actually proud of my jacked up legs!

I also dyed my hair again. Sometimes I wish I were cool enough to go full gyaru but I figured that the hair dye would be enough. For those of you who were wondering, I used Palty and I did it myself. I also wore orange lipstick (MAC Morange) out for the first time in a while. I keep forgetting I have shades other than my matte nude and red lipsticks...

"The Girl From Ipanema" - Pizzicato Five

burning up

cropped top c/o Spotted Moth, vintage pleated skirt, vintage Coach satchel, Karen Walker sunglasses, Rachel Comey boots

Somehow these are the only two pictures that managed to come out from last Sunday and it probably has to do with the fact that we drove up north to drink beers at the Lagunitas Brewery and I may have had a bit too much to drink. Yikes. It was at least 25 degrees cooler in the picture above than in the one below where it actually hit 100. Oh jeez. I was actually happy to get back to San Francisco where the weather was just perfect at Baker Beach. I also may or may not have jumped in the water with my clothes on.......

"September (Fantastic Plastic Machine Remix)" - Earth Wind & Fire

favorite color

floral dress c/o Yo Vintage, Rachel Comey boots, vintage Coach bag, Karen Walker sunglasses c/o Need Supply

Quick post before I meet some friends for happy hour. Spend most of this 4th of July weekend outdoors with different sets of friends taking advantage of the fantastic weather. I live two blocks away from Alamo Square but most of my friends live in the Mission so we usually hang out at Dolores Park. For once it actually feels like it's July in this damn city. We even squeezed in a trip to the beach on Sunday but I'm saving that one for another post!

If it were actually hot instead of just warm I would not have been able to get away with wearing this dress (in my favorite color!) buttoned all the way up but thankfully it doesn't get that hot around here save maybe two or three random days scattered throughout the year. Seriously, this weather is IDEAL. This has been one of my best Bay Area summers ever and we're not even halfway through it.
