Girl Date

May 14, 2012 · 9 comments

I did something really good for myself this past weekend guys, I went on a girl date!

One of my personal goals is to develop deep friendships with folks in proximity to me, people who have roots or are interested in building roots in the bay area. So, even though my life has fallen apart around me, there’s no time like the present, right?!

We took a stroll around the ferry building Saturday morning; it was great to connect with someone who has so many similarities and parallels to my own life. The weather was gorgeous — I mean — how many days a year can you wear shorts in SF?

We were introduced through a mutual friend {the person who recently broke my heart, incidentally}. Our date was made a little easier by the fact that we had corresponded a bit over email. Honestly, I’m bad enough at potentially romantic blind dates, let alone platonic friendship-based ones. All in all, it was good times! Yay!

Good Hair Day 2012

April 23, 2012 · 1 comment

A few things I need to share about these photos:

  • Original source of inspiration found here.
  • I know that these are not technically good photos, in fact I’m quite unhappy with them. Harsh lighting and shadows, etc. etc. But I liked the outfit enough to share it anyway.
  • Both the whiteness of my legs and the trash in the 3rd photo speak to authenticity; it’s how you know I’m a real San Franciscan.
  • Also, I’m having a supremely good hair day, and you can’t see it in any of these photos, which was disappointing to me. So, I used my computer. Apparently, I also had a good hair day in 2010, because I named another photo the exact same thing, “goodhairday”

Dinner dates with my cousin are the best. Last night we went to a great little pizzeria in Glen Park near the house she bought with her husband {no big deal}. It was a cozy and lively spot, one I definitely look forward to visiting again. Our night was filled with inspiring conversation; I love having her so close to me now!

Happy Friday everyone!

Black & Blue

20 March 2012

The title of this post should be mean-mugging, obviously. But really, the jist of it is that I really think ALL colors go together {challenge me on this!} Much to Quinton’s dismay, there are no color or pattern combinations that are off the island.

Mellow Yellow

3 March 2012

Praise the lord for a good hair day + some killer spring weather. Squintiness not included. I have been waiting for this day for months. Myriad of tweets and little lessons recently on bad hair days and hair inspiration…even though I know the tricks for styling curly hair, truth be told 1. I’m kind of [...]
