This is what I wore during and after this crazy storm that just hit San Francisco out of nowhere. Today I realized that after five years in the Bay Area I still don't own rain-appropriate shoes and probably never will since I haven't found a pair of rainboots that I actually like (and those Loeffler Randall ones still refuse to go on sale) so I just wore these trusty old vintage ones. Last night I somehow ended up walking in the rain and hail with two medium Domino's pizzas and while the pizzas remained relatively unscathed I ended up a soaking wet mess. Totally worth it, though.

So umm, what else? I walked around downtown SF with Lulu while she told me about her trip to New York. Call me boring but I'm not really into that NYFW scene and I don't think I ever will be (although this style.com iPhone app does come in handy). Did I ever mention that I haven't traveled anywhere past Texas or Mexico? I have this weird anxiety about being in a plane longer than two hours. I do want to go to New York soon and Megan and I were talking about going to New York to visit her cousin Sophie. Maybe in May? I'm more excited about going to various restaurants than anything (looking at Frances and Gennie's blogs for recommendations of course) and maybe some sightseeing but man, it'll be nice to go somewhere that isn't the west coast for once. Time to try something new in 2011, I suppose.

Wake Up, San Francisco

I felt like matching my vintage gold chain belt with my Ferragamo bag that I hardly ever wear.
Ever since I got back from Aruba, the weather has been very crappy here. It's been raining everyday and today I even got hailed on on my way to work and got soaking wet since I forgot my umbrella. While I was at work I was relieved to see that the sun came up but once I got off from work it started to rain again and by the time I got home it got sunny. Seriously, wth? The weather is having some serious mood swings. It seems as if San Francisco is getting back to me for being away for awhile.

The Desert and the Beach

We drove out to the desert to see wild goats and wild asses, visited a church that Indians built back in the 1700s then rebuilt in the 1950s, ate at a restaurant in the middle of dessert, swam at Baby Beach (yes, that's the name of the beach) then did some gift shopping where I ended up getting nothing although the wooden colored pencils looked cool. Everywhere in Aruba is so picture perfect and it's definitely a one happy island!
