Grant & Stockton

I usually try to stay away from the tourist area of Grant Avenue and Stockton Street (aka Chinatown) because it can be difficult to walk around since there are always a bunch of tourists taking photos and visiting the little shops that line up the entire street. For some reason, Z and I decided to check it out and play tourists for the day.  One of our favorite bars, Li Po Lounge, has the best Mai Tai's around and the strongest Chinese whiskey you will find in the city. Have a couple here and you probably won't remember the rest of the night. I definitely recommend chatting up the cute little elderly husband and wife that own the bar. They might add an extra cherry or two to your drink if you're nice.

Z thought that his outfit was extra snazzy that day, so I took some photos to document what he was wearing. He, like me, also did not know how to pose and felt awkward. We are basically the same person. I kid you not, but we also happen to have the same birthday. CRAZY.

At the end of the evening, we stopped and got some coffee on Market street before taking BART back home. Sometimes it's fun to play tourist in the city that you are in because it makes you appreciate where you live.

The Wanderer

Usually on the weekends after being cooped up in an office all week, I do not want to stay in the apartment at all. I want to explore the city! I do not always have a plan of action--as was the case for this particular day, but it was okay. Sometimes the best adventures happen this way. Z and I ended up wandering around the city after he got a hair cut. We walked and walked all over and then finally decided to eat some Indian food for dinner. It may seem simple, but I thought it was a great day!

Velvet Babydoll Floral Dress // Thrifted
Brown Backpack Purse // Forever 21
Brown Woven Sling Backs // EBay

I like the theme of these photos because they all have natural shades of browns and greens that I find myself mixing a lot in clothing. They are definitely one of my favorite color palettes to use and am drawn towards. Hope you all had a lovely weekend!
