Sam and I braved the chilly weather this weekend for a park date. We grabbed lunch from La Boulange and found a sunny spot to share.

the art of shoe shopping

I've been stalking this particular pair of Loeffler Randalls Mabels for a while now. I finally found them the other morning in something relatively close to my size and on sale at Revolve. After a mini heart attack I whipped out my card to BUY! BUY! BUY! Never has a purchase been more satisfying. That is until another pair of diligently stalked Loeffler Randalls popped up on sale at Endless. Serious fulfilment. Ultimate. Shoe. Fulfilment.

We snapped these pics in the morning before I went to work. My computer bag (not pictured, known as the beast) weighs at least 20 pounds on a good day, so it's nice when Sam walks me to work and carries the beast for me. Even better when he's awake enough to take pictures.

Even though SF sometimes spoils us with glorious weather, it's still winter. No amount of spring shopping or dreaming will change that. I've already started wearing my breezy spring favorites, but I've been pairing them down with heavy knits and thick layers to keep warm.
Speaking of knits, there's nothing like finding the perfect chunky scarf, bonus points if it can double as a cape.
This one in particular gets extra bonus points for acting as a pillow on my flight to NYC.
Oh and the color is called persimmon, sounds much better than orange.



chilly mornings

What's better than breakfast in bed on a cold morning? Delivery.

home sweet home

(via desire to inspire, vogue, souvenirs of a girl)
It's been raining nonstop since I got back from New York. Going outside has not been option. So instead of the usual weekend adventures, I've been diligently stalking my favorite interior design blogs in preparation for the new apartment we haven't found yet.

through the lens

New York was a whirlwind of unfortunate events
sprinkled in with more than a few truly bright moments.
It was fashion shows, a photo shoot, meetings,
dinners, crashing hard drives, splitting pants and freak sicknesses.
But really, what's Fashion Week without a few disasters.
Makes the good moments all that much sweeter.
