Strolling Through San Fran 2012

5.31.2012





Outfit Details: unknown top, h&m skirt/tights/bag, volcom cape, glaze wedges, charming charlie necklace, electric sunglasses, diy self-made hand accessory

I can't say enough of how much I love going to San Francisco! The tall city buildings, the amazing foods, the friendly people, and of course the endless stores for shopping. I really love this city and how you can just walk around every where (how nice would it be to not have to drive anymore?). Too bad we don't have this luxury in OC (I mean, people just don't really walk here. Maybe I should start the trend? haha).

Whenever we go to SF, the bf and I get the Muni pass. You have to get it if you're traveling here without a car. Unlimited transportation rides for set days (you get to choose how many days) at one price. It's such a deal and definitely worth it! Then you don't have to worry about getting around town the rest of your trip and definitely cheaper than renting a car (hello, $30+ parking fees? no thanks). Plus, there's nothing like riding the trolley that makes you feel like a part of the city.

Me and my souvenir pennies! Had to literally stop in my tracks at the Fisherman's Wharf to make one. Many people don't know but I secretly collect these. I'll show you my collection one day. ;) 


Sending love,

To San Francisco or Bust

5.29.2012



Outfit Details: h&m blazer, f21 lace top, unknown pants, charming charlie purse, glaze wedges

More pics from my San Francisco trip with the bf. On the day of our flight, we had some challenges getting to the airport. I blame it on the usual suspects: traffic, getting lost, and more traffic. Luckily our flight got delayed and we were able to catch our flight! Oh yes, it was definitely a sign: to San Francisco or bust! And we were going to make it! ;)

How was your Memorial Day weekend? Good I hope. Mine was filled with birthday celebrations (yeah the celebration is still going on apparently) and sunny beach days. Can't wait to go back again and again and again...all summer long!


Until next time,
sending love,

Food for Fridays: Tony's Pizza, SF

You're starving from hunger. I know, my fault. It's been awhile since my last Food for Fridays post and what are you going to eat right? Well, don't worry! After travelling up and down the west coast, I have found the perfect pepperoni pizza at Tony's Pizza Napoletana!

Located down the street from our hotel in Little Italy, San Francisco was this amazing pizza place! They had indoor and outdoor seating but since we wanted to sit inside (it was a little cold up there), we had to wait a little bit. They said 20-30 minutes but it really ended up being about 10 minutes (not too bad).

For starters, they give bread which was unexpected. It came with 3 different dipping sauces. Our favorite were the ones at the ends: the red (had crushed peppers?) and the honey. You can also mix and try those flavors together for a light sweet and savory combo. ;)
We ordered the New Yorker pizza ($25) which consisted of mozzarella, hand crushed tomato sauce, natural casing pepperoni, sliced Italian fennel sausage, ricotta, chopped garlic, and oregano. The bf totally LOVED this pizza - so much he said it was the best he's ever had! And you know we eat a lot of pizza! I don't usually eat pepperoni but it was really really good here. Maybe it's the natural casing on it but something about them gave an amazing surprise crunch that no other pepperoni pizza has.

Now our expectations on pizza have risen and we were very sad there's no Tony's Pizza in SoCal. So if you are ever visiting San Fran, you have to (make that must) stop by Tony's Pizza Napoletana and try one of their delicious pizzas! Especially, if you're in a group, this pizza is HUGE with plenty to share!

Bon appetit!~!

Top 5 Fashion Faves: Cannes Film Festival 2012

5.24.2012

5. Berenice Bejo is right on season with this colorful gown - I really like how mint was mixed with coral and blue here. Three different colors that happen to blend together so well. Very spring/summer and I like it!

4. Paz Vega glowing in Stephanie Rolland - is it me or isn't she glowing in this dress? The simple black/white color combo and silhouette cut and feather bottom makes me absolutely adore this look.
3. Diane Kruger like a goddess in a Giambattista Valli Couture gown - the way this gown drapes perfectly on her body and flows as she walks. How could she look anything else but like a goddess? 

2. Eva Longoria wearing Marchesa - what a fabulous train! Seriously, all that amazing detail of tulle work done to create such a feathery/flowy look with the glitter gown won me over! (Umm, Eva if you get bored of this dress I will gladly take it off your hands; call me?)
1. Freida Pinto in a Michael Angel thigh-cut dress - look at the sparkling detail on the bodice! Hands down this was my fav look! Total perfection.

What a great start of stunning gowns for the Cannes Film Festival huh? So many beautiful looks I had some trouble picking my Top 5! Couldn't help but to "OooOoo" and "Ahhh" at all of them.

What were your fashion faves?


Sending love,

P.S. I still can't stop drooling over Freida's dress. Wish I had a fancy event to get all dolled up for. I would wear gowns every day if I had an occasion for it!

Outfit #2 Details: gap sweater, sparkle & fade jacket, wet seal jans, sofit flats, h&m bag, electric sunglasses

What a crazy, busy month filled with so many trips for me! Started the first two weeks of May going to San Francisco then Seattle and now Hawaii is just around the corner - oh my! Well I finally had time to upload some pics from my San Fran trip with the bf. Above are photos of our 1st day there and of course we went shopping haha There's so many big stores up there, how can anyone resist?!? The bf kept insisting I get some flats to walk around the city (he was scared I may fall with heels on but he doesn't know that I've been wearing heels since jr. high so I'm a pro! haha). Anyways, after shopping endlessly, I finally found a comfortable pair of neutral flats. We actually found lots of goodies while shopping up there. In fact, my second outfit (sweater + jacket + flats) were all bought that very same day! Talk about multiple wardrobe changes huh? From dressy to casual, I change outfits like I change my mood...problems of a girl. Thank goodness the bf is patient with me!

Top 5 Fashion Faves: Billboard Music Awards 2012

5.21.2012


5. Miley Cyrus in Jean Paul Gaultier tuxedo dress - very sophisticated; I really like this look on her!

4. Nelly Furtado wearing Alberta Ferretti - actually I don't like this outfit as a whole. There's too much going on with the bold necklace AND lace dress but if worn separately, I like them as individual pieces.

3. Carrie Underwood looks gorgeous in Oscar de la Renta - that man is talented and everything he touches turns out perfect. Like it/hate it? Whatever it is, she's like one hot mess!

2. Taylor Swift wearing Elie Saab - okay I'm a little biased because I love anything Elie makes! I mean, I even did 2 fashion reports on him for my school project cause I love his stuff so much!

Katy Perry, Billboard Music Awards 2012
1. Katy Perry donning a Blumarine gown - this looks so iridescently magical with the pastel colors and sequins doesn't it? Usually she has an eccentric style so I'm very surprised I liked her dress the best!

It's spring/summer time so I'm attracted to light neutral colors. Yes, Taylor Swift is no-doubt bright in red but [hey!] it's an Elie Saab dress so I'll make the exception...just for him. ;)

What are your top fashion faves for this year's Billboard Music Awards?

P.S. I wasn't able to watch the show since I was celebrating my bday yesterday but I heard Jordan Sparks did an amazing tribute performance for Whitney Houston. If you didn't get to see it either, don't worry you can check it out here. Enjoy! :)

P.S. Did you see the solar eclipse yesterday?!? It was pretty cool no? I was on the way to dinner with the bf when it happened and the sun was still out but the sky also looked a little dark. Pretty interesting and lucky we were able to witness one of nature's incredible moments. Some places even saw a ring of fire around the sun!! Simply amazing!
