City Sights


One of the things that I love about living in San Francisco is that each building can be completely different from its adjoining neighbor just by the style/shape or exterior paint colors. It is not your typical cookie-cutter suburban model with the manicured lawns and ranch style layout. Depending on the style of the building, you can also tell which neighborhood of San Francisco you are in from the Victorian-esque bay windows to the more modern sleek condos. It is the architecture (one of many assets) that makes San Francisco so wonderful and a vibrant place to live.

During this day, Z and I were wandering around and decided to try a new coffee shop in our neighborhood. Coffee shops are a dime a dozen here, but that's fine with me since I could always go for a freshly brewed cup.  Apologies for my chronic bitch face. I can't stop making it in my photos. I just feel so awkward posing and I don't really know what to do with myself. I swear I'm a really nice person in real life! Darn my awkwardness.

Z and I decided to explore the other side of the bay bridge a couple of weekends ago while the weather was warm and sunny. I had never seen the UC Berkeley campus before, so I asked Z to be my tour guide to show me the sights of this cute little college area. We walked through the campus and right away the early 20th century architecture of the buildings took my breath away. I wish I had the chance as an undergrad to attend a lecture in one of these beautifully constructed halls. There were so many squirrels scurrying around...one even decided to photo bomb the photo I took of Z! After wandering around campus for a while, we went to MARS vintage and I found the cutest 60's shift dress with a white peter pan collar and ruffle detail. I promise to take pictures of the dress soon after I alter the hem! After vintage shopping for me, we went to Amoeba records and spent the remaining afternoon perusing records and trying to decide what we wanted to add to our vinyl collection. Coffee, vinyl, and vintage...kind of cliché but definitely a nice way to end the weekend.
