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."

Wore this on Monday, I think? Went to get Vietnamese food at Out The Door in the mall and caught Bridesmaids at the Metreon. I also thoroughly embarrassed myself in the park outside the theater by almost falling into the water a couple times.......

Ohh and I guess I'm going to Russian River this weekend for a friend's birthday! Hopefully it'll be a decent break from reality like Coachella was because I really need it right now.

Pictures from happy hour last week. Megan and I wore the same jeans and drank beers at Thee Parkside while trying to figure out why this photo of her from the last time we were there blew up on Tumblr (and landed on a couple thinspo sites??) Oh well! What else have I been up to... umm, I dyed my hair? Other than that, everything is pretty much the same I suppose. Nothing too exciting.

I don't think I ever talked about my Ina shirt here, did I? I'm a huge Ina Garten fan and had been looking for an oversized chambray shirt everywhere since I figured that would be the closest I could get to her even with my mediocre cooking skills weighing me down (I'm more of a Jeffrey to be quite honest). Oh Ina, oh Ina! But really, how awesome is it that she quit her government job and ended up where she is now? Okay aside from that Make A Wish fiasco I still think she's pretty freaking awesome.

Super behind on posting again, sorry guys. Things have been stressful and hectic (I'm transitioning into my full time job) but I'm hanging on. I wore this a couple weeks ago to drink free booze at that Refinery29 shop crawl but skipped the after party for a friend's birthday celebration. Probably not a good idea to pose for pictures after two or three drinks. At least I finally got to meet Ashley!!

Anyway, I'm really drained and have been out of my apartment from 7:30am-7pm so I'm going to have to cut this short, unfortunately. Enjoy some disco for now while I get my life together <3

Whoops. Has it really been a week? I haven't been in front of a computer for more than an hour in ages. I guess this is what it feels like to have a social life outside of the internet, haha. Well actually, I've been a bit busy with my IRL life and it may have something to do with a J-O-B... will explain later of course. For now let's just enjoy my extended metaphor equating my erratic web presence to the weather in San Francisco.

A couple posts ago people were lauding my supposed take on the "denim on denim" trend but that A.P.C. dress is actually made out of linen, not chambray. This outfit would be more appropriate for those comments, I suppose. I thought about tucking in the shirt but the shorts are too low for that, what do you guys think?
