From Where I Stand

One of the things that I love about San Francisco is the easy access to public transportation. I used to live in San Diego which was beautiful, but I disliked the fact that everything was so far apart that the car became a necessity.  While waiting for MUNI to arrive, I usually try to pass the time and take a photo from where I am standing. The below photos are the result of waiting for MUNI:

 

 

 

 

Summa Summa Summertime

I am absolutely smitten with Esther (via Esther From the Sticks) and her beautiful vintage-inspired swimsuit creation. I've been looking for a nice swim suit that shows off just the right amount of skin and this suit would be perfect. The detailing of the black buttons down the front adds the perfect flair to the suit. I can't wait for Esther to open up her etsy shop, but until then make sure to check out her blog and other sewing creations here.

Instagram Round-Up

Here are a couple of photos that I've taken on my Instagram recently.  It's mostly filled of pictures of my grumpy pig dog that thinks himself the champion sleeper of pugs. (16 hours a day seems to be the average) Follow me on instagram here.

Grumpy Pig being Grumpy

Brunch that I made for Z and I. Fruit salad, frittata (potato, bacon, arugula, cheese), and Vietnamese Iced Coffee.

Peter Pan collar and Polka dots? One of my favorite dresses.

Chickory coffee & French Press. <3

Woven cut-out shoes from Etsy.

Record from Z featuring one of my favorite songs, "Le Temps de L'Amour".

Favorite black floral headband that Pig dog ate one of the flowers off so I had to sew it onto another band to salvage it.    :(

Found this record while  thrifting in Niles. Crazy.

Coyote Hills Regional Park

Last Sunday, Z's aunts were still in town and wanted to get out and do something. Z suggested Coyote Regional Park for its proximity to the bay. Comprised of nearly 978 acres of marshland and rolling grassland covered hills, this busy park is located along the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay, northwest of the cities of Fremont and Newark. The walk was absolutely beautiful with trails that hugged the coastline and offered a splendid view of the city sky-line.

Snapping a photo of a very tired and grumpy Pig Dog.

Caught doing a Michael Jackson impression with the winds on top of a grassy hill.

I leave you all with a photo of Finnegan looking particularly pissed off because he absolutely LOVES hiking and all things outdoors.
