What a weekend! Carnival parades, a visit to the SF farmer's market, a Carnival block party in the Mission, and a two and a half hour long hike in Marin to top it all off! 

If you live in the SF Bay Area and you haven't checked out the mountains in Marin, I recommend taking some time to hike a trail or two. I spent yesterday hiking along the Pacific Ocean with my boyfriend and his wonderful parents. The breathtaking view makes the hard work worth it, I promise.

Exhausted!

A gift for mom

Happy Mother's Day!

I hope you all are enjoying a very special day with the moms in your life! And if, like me, some of you are away from your mom, I hope you called her to say hello and tell her you love her. My mom lives down in LA and I'm up here in San Francisco, so unfortunately for me I won't be able to give her her well deserved Mother's Day gift until next weekend. 

If you haven't tried on a pair of AGL flats, go do yourself a favor and head to a Nordstrom and slip these babies on your feet, stat! These are the softest, most comfortable pair of flats I've ever owned; the leather is like butter and the soles are padded for a "walking on clouds" feeling. I scored a great pair on eBay last year and ever since, I've been contemplating getting another just because they're so amazing. I know my mom would never spend the money on herself, so when I saw these at Nordstrom for an incredible price, in her size, I knew they were meant for her. I love you, mom!

fresh starts

I first started blogging not too long ago, with my roommate M, as the girls on 23rd. The blog came to be after a late night baking frenzy followed by a crazy sugar high. We wanted to share our love of food and my obsession with clothes and shoes with others who shared the same passions. We came to realize that M was too busy to post regularly, and it quickly became clear that the blog was becoming mine. So, I changed it and here I am.

After a few weeks of being a newbie blogger, I've got to say, it's been really fun. My boyfriend and I have been having such a great time finding spots in the city to shoot outfit posts and it's really given us a fun excuse to go out and explore and take in San Francisco. Helping me with the photography started out as a favor to me, but he says he really looks forward to them now! Who knew something so simple as starting a blog could lead to such new discoveries!

Happy Weekend!
