Sunday Brunch

Apologies ladies and gentlemen for the radio silence as my computer has been sick in the hospital and sadly will need to go back to the doctors as they still haven't fixed it.  But on a brighter note, today is Sunday which means bruuuunch.  Yummy yummy, on our way into midtown to find a new brunch spot and afterwards I will have my ass planted on the couch awaiting the arrival of the first celebrity to walk that Oscars red carpet.  Holy superbowl of awards show! So excited!

And I'm back...

So we made it back to Georgia like a week ago but things have been a little crazy trying to get settled in.  This is going to be a quick little post as I am running around constantly which is exactly why I have been dying over shirt dresses with their ease and sophistication.  Adios muchachos...

Holiday Party

I am serious sucker for a striped sweater.  You can dress it up or dress it down with such ease which is exactly what I plan on doing tonight. I am attending the boyfriend's holiday office party tonight and while I don't want to be overdressed I figured a great boot and stylish sweater is always a great start to any outfit.

Style Inspiration

Every fashionista needs to gain inspiration somewhere whether it be the glossy pages of Vogue or people watching on the streets of Paris.  Lately, I have been combing the pages of Pinterest.  Hands down my new favorite website that has caused me to lose countless hours of my days but you won't hear my complaining.  Here are a few snapshots of some of my favorite fashion pins.

Clearly I'm a jeans type of girl after reviewing all these pictures... 

Sunday Brunch

Such a gorgeous day outside today and it's also the last free Sunday the bf has before he starts his new job tomorrow so, we are out to celebrate and what better way to celebrate than endless mimosa's at brunch!

Sunday Brunch

Ahhh my favorite day of the week has returned. Sunday. So relaxing and so happy to spend this sunday with good friends at brunch down in the Marina.  Today is a day to go as casual as I can, partly because I still feel bloated from the feast of Turkey Day.  Thank god for baggy sweatshirts.

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.

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:

1. T by Alexander Wang Chunky Wool Pullover

2. Sara Berman Studded Leather Mini

3.  Forever 21 Black Tights

4. French Connection Shard Choker

5. Asos Quilted Across Body Bag

6. Thyskens' Theory Patent-Leather & Suede Ombre Wedges

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

4. Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac Clutch

5. Mirelle Gold Feather Earrings

6. Marc by Marc Jacobs Tortoise Cuff

beach weather

I know what your probably thinking, "beach weather? in october? chick must be crazy". But I promise you I am not.  As a newbie to Cali I think the weather gods have graced us with 80 degree weather with nothing but pure sunshine.  So we're off to the beach, Gray Whale Cove to be exact.  Awesome little beach down Interstate 1 just above Half Moon Bay and the best part is... it's a nude beach.  I'm weirdly excited and also a little nervous.  Hope there aren't too many old men just 'hanging' out if you catch my drift.  Excited for a fun day with close friends and good food & booze with the sand between my toes.

1. shimmi nicole lace-up bandeau bikini

4. modcloth vintage seaside soda shop towel

Everything under $50!

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.

Sunday Football

Well it's here. Football season. And I am not the biggest football fan but the boyfriend is which means I'll probably become a football fanatic in weeks to come.  The good thing is that I am always a fan of getting out of the apartment and checking out new bars to watch the game and drink some tasty Hoegaarden.  Yummm!
