Hilly SF

Whenever there's SUNSHINE in SF that means put on your best gear and enjoy the outdoors because it's a rare occasion in this lovely city of mine. With so many national landmarks and beautiful architecture around us it doesn't hurt to be a tourist for a day.  It's nice to re-visit what makes SF one of the most visited cities in the US. So in celebration I played tourist for a day with all my siblings and my 2 year-old cousin, who is a little Tasmanian devil. Turned out to be a great family outing.

 

Lunchtime at La Boulange in N. Beach

Nicoise Salad

 

A visit to N. Beach is never complete without stopping for some GELATO

 

My cousin Linda ran to me when she spotted me at the corner of the intersection, it was sooo cute, something straight out of a movie moment caught right there =)

 

TEAM JACOB ALL THE WAY!

 

  

 (My Outfit for the day: Sheer H&M Blouse, Stripe Bandeau Bra Top, H&M Denim Shorts, Steve Madden Sandals, Betsey Johnson Cross-body bag (this bag has been with me everywhere/one of my best purchases ever.)

Barney's Warehouse Sale

My recent trip to the Barney's Warehouse Sale here in San Francisco. It was a very hit or miss kind of bargain shopping. I did find two pairs of shoes I really wanted to take home with me that day. But I instead opted out, since my wallet wouldn't be sooo happy and it wasn't much of a "Sale." I still got a cute DVF bathing suit + J Brand jeans. Which I got to wear out in LA this past weekend. =) 

I spontaneously bought an airplane ticket last minute to LA and "MADE IT HAPPEN!" The occasion was I went to go see Real Madrid vs. LA Galaxy international friendly game at the Rosebowl in Pasadena (Pictures to follow). It is a rare ocassion that International Futbol (not SOCCER) players come to the states, and I got to see the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Iker Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Xavi Alonso, Higuain, and Landon Donovan all on the same field. Fresh off their World Cup 2010 gig. As you can see I am big on Futbol and hot men like them. Hehe. Plus I got to lounge by the pool all weekend with my LA gals who I dearly missed a lot. I hadn't seen them since March I want to say. I realized I need to take more trips like these. Last minute affairs always make for some of the best memories and I always have a place to stay. I even surprised my bff Cecy, when I text her I'm in SoCal bitch! LOL. I always leave a little piece of me behind every time I visit LA LA Land =)

Excited to see what's in store

Unfortunately, they lacked in the handbag department

A. Wang Jacket. Preferred the shorter-version of this

Shoe section was a must

In love with these Lilac Louboutins

Sooo Hot and Comfy too! Dreaming til I get my first pair of Louboutins!

Co-Op Over the Knee Leather Boots

Felt sooo Edgy and Motorcycle-Chic wearing these!

Back View...It's rare I find shoes in my size!

Alaia Studded Booties. Too bad they weren't the right size =(

Gasp! These Fendi Heels (from my previous post) were just adorable, but none in my size! I still had to try them on!

At the checkout counter the guy checking bags joked, "My number is at the bottom of the receipt." LOL. Yeah sorry not interested buddy! Still made me laugh though. Hahaha

My purchases: (DVF Leopard Bikini + Henry Duarte for JBrand Jeans) Also pictured are some other recent purchases: (Topshop Wisteria Wedges + Miss Sixty "Harper" Boots) 

****UPDATE Now I wish I would've bought the Co-Op Over the Knee boots =(

Check them out here

Wisteria

My new Topshop Wisteria wedges. I got lucky to snag a pair of these off Ebay for the same price as the store. These sold-out real fast from Topshops online shop. They came straight from the UK too. These wedges are real comfy and I love the tie-up chiffon material. I've seen a lot of designers using chiffon or silk instead of the usual leather straps for shoes just like these Fendi ones. I think Jada Pinkett was spotted wearing those on the Red Carpet not too long ago.  So cute! They're perfect for the summer and go with just about everything.
