The Best Avocado Toast in San Francisco

Confession: I drank the California Kool-Aid. I’m one of those insufferable foodies who expects avocado with every meal, almond milk with my latte, quinoa (gluten free) pasta with my organic pesto, and a dog-friendly patio whenever and wherever I dine. High maintenance I know but the truth is, most reputable San Francisco eateries can accommodate such nonsense requests. It is my pleasure to introduce you to the latest establishment on my “hot list,” Toasty where avocado toast rules.     Just steps from the ever popular Union Street, in the Cow Hollow neighborhood, sits Toasty – my new favorite breakfast nook. Featuring a divine menu of all food things Californians know and love ( avocado toast, chia seed pudding, and acai bowls to name a few) prepare to leave feeling totally satisfied and ready for the next time. There’s only so much goodness you can eat in one sitting!     Get Toasty Totally “dressed” to impress, never have I ever enjoyed eating whole wheat sourdough bread so often. For the traditionalist, the Naked is for you. While you can never go wrong with traditional #avotoast, the Eggy features all of that plus poached eggs. When your sweet tooth gets […]

Plaid Fit and Flare Dress

ATTENTION PLAID LOVING FASHIONISTAS: THIS FIT AND FLARE DRESS IS ONLY $15 AND AVAILABLE IN ALL SIZES. THIS IS NOT A DRILL – ACT FAST AS IT WILL NOT BE IN STOCK FOR VERY LONG. SHOP NOW AND THANK ME LATER.     I know what you are thinking, “this is too good to be true.” You are definitely not dreaming and this dress is definitely worth more than $15. Regardless, there is something so flattering about a fit and flare dress. That is probably why the f&f silhouette is so popular among brides. It hugs your bod in all of the right places, perfectly accenting your assets. Who can complain about that?! So where does one find a smokin’ hot dress for less than $20?! At Shein, of course!     Having an open mind is not only good for the soul, but it will come in handy when you shop for clothes. I will buy an outfit from ANYWHERE as long as it makes me feel good. I do not believe that price automatically denotes quality or “purity.” This inexpensive dress fits better than some of the designer items hanging in my closet with the tags still attached. […]

Bowling Ball Bag and Wide Leg Pants

There is nothing more exciting for a fashionista than the unwrapping of a brand new purse! My #InstagramHusband always laughs at how proud I get, but aside from peeling off the plastic on a new iPhone, nothing seems to compare. Maybe it’s like a guy firing up a brand new grill. Who knows! Regardless, it is an absolute pleasure to share with you my latest fabulous find, a bowling ball bag!     A modern take on a vintage bowler bag, this pretty little thing will have the compliments rolling in. Featuring a multicolor pattern and rhinestone closure, this will not be the last time I tote this playful item. So many vanity bags are not suitable for everyday use. Many lack interior side pockets or enough space to store an iPhone plus. I’m happy to report this bowling ball bag has it all and a detachable shoulder strap. For only $48, there is no better way to add some fun to your fall outfit. It is hard not to smile while carrying this bag!     Now just because I have the bag, it doesn’t mean I am about to rock the matching shoes. C’mon now, ME in bowler […]

How to Wear Pink Booties

Confession: I am the most impractical person EVER. I’m the girl who goes to the Gucci store and leaves with a bright yellow purse. The fashionista who wears her new pink booties out of the Sam Edelman store! And oh yeah, I just unboxed my first white blouse yesterday. The first step to overcoming a “problem” is admitting that you have a problem, right?! But hey, my love for color often prevails! Today is my attempt to demonstrate how to wear pink booties without looking like a joker. Hear me out!     Classic Colors This rule applies to everyday fashionista life. When in doubt, wear black and white. This classic combo will match with everything, including pink booties. It will also tone down your look if you’re new to the colorful shoe trend. At New York Fashion Week, obviously I would wear these booties with a matching pink suit. For a regular day in San Francisco, however, this black and white ensemble will still have people lookin’.     Confidence Kill it with confidence! It sounds cliche, but it is the truth. Wear your new pink booties like you were made to wear ’em. There is nothing more attractive […]

Embellish your Outfit with a Shearling Vest!

As November quickly approaches, I am using the time wisely to stock up on winter essentials. In San Francisco you can never own enough vests. They are great for layering and/or accessorizing your look. You already know I am not satisfied in just a top and jeans (what is my problem?!). Today we feature a shearling vest and I can assure you it is the coziest item you will ever own.     For top and jean haters like myself, vests are great alternatives to scarves! I’m always hot and would rather not suffocate with baggage around my neck! I like to think of vests as jewelry. They are very stylish embellishments when wearing a necklace is simply not an option.     Vest or no vest, I never leave the house without a statement earring (duh!). I literally feel naked without ‘em. Luckily the Sequin Drop Earrings by Baublebar just so happened to match my silk top perfectly. These retro stunners will effortlessly add a touch of glam to your ensemble. One can never look too glamorous in a garden of hydrangeas…am I right?!     Shop this Post: Bodysuit (similar) | Shearling Vest (similar) | Jeans | Booties […]
