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...

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.......

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.

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!

hello summer

open back dress c/o Aerie (thanks Lucy @ Shadow PR!), Swedish Hasbeen clogs, tote via Refinery29's shop crawl

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!
