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!

A Love Story..... Sorta

After drooling over these pumps for several months and realizing that I drooled too long and my size had sold out everywhere, I was a tad bit sad until I found them sitting pretty in a boutique in Miami (see twitpic here of me wearing it.) At first I thought I was hallucinating. I was sunburnt and suffering a heatstroke due to falling asleep on the rooftop pool thanks to having too much fun the previous day. Once I realized that these were in fact the Isabel Marant pumps that I've been lusting after and the last pair which were my size I felt like my sunburn disappeared. Thanks to my lovely Wesley Mason, I brought these back to California with me and now they are sitting pretty on my desk. Unfortunately, I'm still quite burnt so I haven't actually worn them out yet.

The second picture is my current jewelry tray of my favorite pieces that I've been wearing all the time which includes necklaces from Anarchy Street, bracelets from Bimba & Lola, Low Luv, CC Skye, and a random jewelry place I found awhile back.

I'm currently suffering a too much sun attack illness because I fell asleep on the rooftop pool of my hotel on my last day. I've been feeling dizzy ever since I got back and have been sleeping nonstop. Can't believe I'm feeling sick after coming back from paradise. These pictures were taken before the sun attack and I've learned the importance of SPF. I swear, I put on SPF 30 but apparently it's not enough for the strong Miami sun. Gotta get my hands on SPF 70!

Hope you guys have a lovely week!!

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!

Photos by the one and only Donatella

On Wednesday, I jetted out to Miami to shoot with Monica Botkier from Botkier for Vogue Eyewear CFDA City Collection. Monica designed a pair of sunglasses inspired by the city Miami which will be sold at Sunglass Hut later this year, so we toured around her favorite spots and really experienced the Miami life.

Can't wait to share with you guys more from this trip!

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.

Can you tell the difference between the first photo and the rest of the photos? My lip color! I accidentally washed my YSL lipstick in the washer so I went to the Grove and got 3 more all in different shades. Almost fainted when the total was over a $100.....

P.S. I'm off to Miami!!!

Inseparable

Say Hi to Bijou, the little shitzu who's the newest addition to our family. My mom adopted her from a puppy mill pet store (horrible story) about a year ago when she was only a few months old and every time Charcoal and I visited her from San Francisco, they would play with each other like crazy keeping me up till late at night. A week ago while visiting my mom, I just took Bijou with me to surprise Charcoal and since then, they've been inseparable and both Wesley Mason and I fell too in love with her to return her back to my mom. It's crazy how fast you can fall in love with a dog... but that doesn't mean I'm going to love Charcoal any less and start leaving him at home. I'm just enjoying spending time with both of them and watching them play with each other!

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!

Ironed Shawl

(Urban Outfitters Hat, Vintage Fringed Shawl, Blouse, and DIY Levi's cut-offs, Joe's Jeans Wedges, Botker Bag)

Funny fact about this shawl: After buying this vintage shawl, I put it straight in the washer and dryer like most of my vintage clothes, and it came out all curly and knotted just like dreadlocks. I thought about what to do and basically unknotted each and every strand then ironed the crap out of it while watching Hawaii Five-O. It took a total of 3 hours.
