Pinned Bangs, Wavy Hair

Outfit Details: Blue Printed Dress (UO), Lipstick: NARS in Fire Down Below

Warm weather equals pinning the bangs back. It’s been unusually warm in the city this past week and it’s nice to see the sun again. It is not even as hot as the usual temperatures in San Diego, so this makes me wonder how the heck I survived Mexico-landia for so many years. Walking around in the Mission with the warm weather, drinking Ginger Beer and Parrot Coconut Juice, and seeing the mariachi bands play, makes me do a double take. Am I back in Tan Diego? I want more Mango con chile, por favor.

Pugificent Party Hats

Etsy Sellers Julie and Bernadette are a daughter and mother team that have a love for the whimsical side of life. Their three pugs are their inspiration behind all of their creations at their etsy shop Sweet Hoots. They crochets hats for dogs, including ones that transform it into Shrek, a Purple People Eater, a Viking warrior, and a lop-eared bunny. Now your pooch can impress all the other dogs at the dogpark.

Exploring the City

On a rare sunny day here in San Francisco, Z and I went to the Treasure Island flea. I bought some vintage rings and another long floral dress with a lace collar that I will have to photograph and post later. After the flea, Z and I went to eat lunch and walked around the city. Even though it is not sunny here all the time, people in the city make the most out of it. The parks, cafes, and streets will be filled with people out enjoying the rays while they can before the fog starts to roll in again.

Lands End Trail

Z and I went hiking with Finnegan on the Land’s End Trail a while back. I developed the film two months later. Looking at these pictures now is sort of similar to a Christmas Surprise in August.

Summertime BBQ's

Summertime = Family, BBQ, and alcohol.

Virginia Beach

During the last couple days of our vacation in Virginia, the family went to Virginia Beach for some relaxing fun in the sun. However on the one day that we had planned for the beach, the sun actually never came out and it was overcast and humid instead. The boardwalk was almost empty since the winds were picking up as the day went on, but it was nice to walk around with my Grandpa along the beach. After walking for what seemed like 2 miles or so, (Grandpa is amazing and can probably keep walking on forever and ever without breaking a sweat) we stopped and got a banana split on the way back to the hotel. Grandpa goes bananas for banana splits.

The plane ride home went faster than the flight there and the next thing I knew I was back in California.  Vacations are way too short.
