Weekend snapshots...

Michael and I covered a lot of ground this weekend! It was his first visit to San Francisco and we wanted to see a bit of everything. We did a ton of walking (even stopping in a nail salon for an indulgent foot massage!) and rekindled some of that adventuresome spirit from our days abroad...

On Saturday we perused the farmers' market at the Ferry Building...

Picked up picnic ingredients from Acme Bread and Cowgirl Creamery...

Swung by Ghirardelli Square...

And made dinner with a few farmers' market purchases (enabling me to cross that one off my 101 in 1001 list!).

On Sunday we ate brunch outside at a little spot down the block...

Where we may or may not have indulged in these yummy beignets...

Followed later on by an ice cream cone at Bi-Rite and a little sunbathing in Dolores Park.

On Monday we hopped on a ferry to Sausalito...

Which occasioned picturesque views of the Golden Gate Bridge...

In Sausalito we grabbed a bite to eat (followed quickly by more ice cream) and chatted with a counterbalance artist on the dock...

And topped off the weekend with a baseball game at AT&T Park. Check out that view! We managed to pack a lot of mileage into a few short days and had a great time exploring the city together. I miss him already!

P.S. On an unrelated but equally happy note, Graphic Image is celebrating Christmas in July with 50% off everything sitewide today only! If you're still upset you didn't win the Graphic Image giveaway I hosted a while back, now's your chance to invest in a new address book, iPad case, passport cover... You can tell my cart is full!

Oopsy daisy.

My boyfriend is headed back to New York today and the morning completely got away from me. I promise I'll be back in full swing tomorrow with pictures from our weekend! Happy Tuesday, my friends.

P.S. Would you ever try blue nail polish? It looks pretty here but I always gravitate toward pinks and reds.

Blog Crush {Her Waise Choice}

If you follow me on Twitter, you know that one of my new favorite pastimes is clicking through other bloggers' blogrolls to find new-to-me blogs. I found Jen's blog Her Waise Choice through Anh at 9 to 5 Chic and instantly fell in love with her unfussy elegance.

Jen describes herself as "a Vancouver girl who believes that you can be stylish without being superficial, on trend without being a slave to fashion, and look good without looking down on others." I mean, who doesn't love that philosophy?

Like me, Jen gravitates toward solid colors or simple patterns like polka dots and stripes. Much of her wardrobe seems to be geared toward classic pieces like statement sunglasses and the perfect trench.

I also like Jen's emphasis on affordability. Many of her fashion finds come from places like Forever 21, H&M, and Zara — perfect for those of us on a college student or recent grad budget.

Isn't she adorable? I love that she mixes polka dot prints of different sizes.

I have the same white skirt from Zara and I love the idea of pairing stripes with leopard print. How unexpectedly chic!

Do yourself a favor and go check out Her Waise Choice. Now tell me — what are some of your favorite new-to-you blogs?
