acne top + trousers, h&m wedges

So guess who finally bought that Acne top she was whining about a couple months back? I guess patience pays off since I ended up buying it 50% off at La Garconne. I also scored the perfect black trousers in the form of these Acne ones which are actually wool and not cotton! I'm really starting to get the hang of buying things I can wear over and over again rather than just a handful of times. I can easily see myself wearing both of these items in various ways without growing tired of them (which is something I've always had a problem with since I'm so fickle about clothes). Restraining myself takes a good deal of work especially when I go shopping with others but at least I'm getting somewhere. I'm still cleaning out my closet and just did a mass post of things I REALLY want to get rid of so uhh, go check that out? The latest post will only be up for a week and after that I'm donating everything in the post.

What else, what else? I'm getting really restless with my hair and have been trying new things with it. Today's look is making me really wish I'd taken the plunge and cut my hair short this past break. I even tried pinning my bangs back but didn't have the courage to wear it out... some habits I just can't let go of. I've had fringe for most of my life and it's hard to imagine exposing my forehead to anyone outside my apartment. Oh well.

suzu noodle house in japantown

An assortment of shots from dinner on Sunday. Is it sad that I am not ashamed to admit that my life revolves around food? I think the most heartbreaking thing about my little meltdown last week was my inability to keep down my food since everything I consumed would be puked out involuntarily. I even lost my appetite for two days, which has thankfully come back full force, as one can guess from the empty bags of chips and Mountain Dew cans littering my workspace. Anyway, after a week or so of delays and canceled trips we finally made it out to Japantown for some ramen in the evening at Suzu. We waited for quite a while since the place is small but we were both impressed and are seriously considering going back at the end of this week. The thing I love best about being with BF is that what we do on a certain day is greatly affected by what we want or where we want to eat.

paulette in hayes valley

I get a lot of emails asking me about the best places to find macarons in the Bay Area but I never knew how to answer since I'd only tried the ones that BF buys from Masse's in North Berkeley. A friend and I ventured out to Hayes Valley in San Francisco the other day and the had the opportunity to try these colorful little delights at Paulette! They definitely lived up to the hype and were as delicious as they looked. I'd strongly recommend ordering online if you've always wanted to try them and don't have any in your area.
