Fashion Classics

There are few items every woman should have in her classic such as a sharp blazer, black pumps, great pair of fitting jeans, and a white button down blouse.  Searching high and low I have found my favorites are by Equipment.  I could use more than one as I wear mine at least once a week, if not more. Great for casual friday at the office with some skinny jeans and booties.

Black Out

Date night with the boy-toy ended up as a black out.  Go figure as a recent transplant from New York that my wardrobe is stocked full with any and everything black but at least it goes with everything.

Shirt: James Perse // Jeans: Rich & Skinny // Scarf: Forever 21 //

Boot-Cut

I have been stuck in skinny jeans/leggings and boots since the temperature dropped below 70 degree and I have to bust out of my rut! Hello Boot Cut jeans.  Why have I not been wearing you all along, you make my legs look a thousand times longer and my booty only a little bit smaller.  Also H&M came out with this gorgeous leather bag that is similar to the Foley + Corinna bag without the big price tag.  Obsessed.

Sunday Brunch

Sunday is by far my favorite day of the week. In San Francisco it means brunch, in Georgia it means family dinner. So all in all it's always a good day with good food and good friends.  Yum in my tum.  How fantastic is this sweater I found at Old Navy? Such a steal...

Hipster

Went and hung out in mission today and noticed it was a little something like Brooklyn... hipster city.  Thank god I decided to wear my black rimmed glasses for no reason.  I fit in perfectly. Just needed to throw on a beanie and add a little tats to my arm and I could have sat at the coffee shop all day.

Sightseeing

Ahh the life of the currently unemployed has made the first two weeks in San Francisco incredibly enjoyable.  Sightseeing galore.  Been to the Grey Whale Cove, Half Moon Bay, Golden Gate Park, Chrissy Field, Ikea in Oakland, Union Square and today we are tackling Fisherman's Wharf.  Apparently October is the warmest month in San Francisco and since it is now November... brrrrrr.  Found a bunch of cute clothes at H&M though to hopefully keep me warm!

Sunday Brunch

Halloween weekend. Sigh. True love with true hangovers that can only be cured by the spiciest bloody mary at Sunday brunch.  Today's brunch will be Pasta Pomodoro's in Noe Valley.

Girls Night

Went out last night with all the girls.  We had such a fun night out in the Marina. First stop La Barca for drinks then next door to Mas Sake for sushi then we were off to The Tipsy Pig for drinks.  So fun being reunited with everyone again.  A quick breakdown of my outfit last night:

Daily Uniform

San Francisco weather is crazy. One day I was at the beach with 85 degree weather and the next thing I know when I woke up this morning it was a chilly 48 degrees outside.  Brrrrr. Good news is to keep warm and comfortable all you need are three things.  1. Sweater dress. 2. Leggings. 3. Boots.

1. Uniqlo Lambswool Boat-neck Tunic

2. TopShop Leggings

3. Cordani Waverly Boots

So as you all are aware, I have recently moved ALLLL the way across the country to San Francisco and am quickly learning it's chilly here.  Layers, I need lots of layers. The best part is layers are so freaking affordable.  My favorite go to stores for sweaters are H&M and Old Navy.  Today is quite possibly the perfect chilly so I figured I would let you know exactly what it is I'm rocking.

Well it's here. Football season.
