San Francisco Sunnies

I'm slow... I know. I have all these things to share with you but have had difficulty finding a moment to upload all these photos!

As you recall, I had mentioned that I would be going up to San Francisco for a weekend. That was... a couple of weekends ago.

In any case, I wanted to share the awesome view we had from our hotel! We were lucky enough to stay at the W Hotel in SoMa.

We were getting ready to go to Napa with another friend of ours that lives in the city.

It was slightly overcast initially, in San Francisco.

We had a view that over looked a lot of nice buildings, playgrounds and parks, and Bloomingdales... which was very dangerous and tempted my girlfriend and I everyday...

And I just loved the color of the blue walls and the pink floral pillow accents... had to take a photo with my grey shoes up against them!

I love San Francisco! I want to go back!

This weekend I am planning to go to Vegas! I have not been there in so long! It's going to be quite a short trip but hopefully the food and the company in those short moments, make up for it! :)

Have a great weekend everyone!

Tasty Green Apples

I'm still alive. I've been pretty busy.. sorry. But thought I'd give "Tasty" and "Glutton" Tuesdays a break since I haven't done an outfit post in awhile. So I did a twist up on it. Tasty Green Apples... you know Tasty Tuesday in Green Apple color because of my outfit... nevermind.

These photos are from a couple of weeks ago. So I apologize for just now getting them up.

Weekend Recap :: White Denim

Hi All! How was your weekend? I hope either tons of fun or tons of relaxing time! I had a pretty productive weekend sifting through old clothing and items and throwing away "junk" and creating "to donate" piles. AND, I did that in the friendboy's room AND my own. I've been on a cleaning spree. It's actually been pretty therapeutic. Sometimes you just need those kinds of days/weekends.

I was also able to find white denim, yay! If you recall, I had been looking at a couple of different ones. I actually ended up going with a totally different brand but it's been treating me well so far.

My only gripe about these pants are that the front pockets are FAUX pockets. I didn't know when I bought them. I just tried them on to make sure they looked okay. It wasn't until this day that I tried to put my phone into the pocket... and nearly dropped it because well, there wasn't a pocket there!!!

This is not an advertisement for Starbucks by the way. I was just thirsty. It was hot!

Summer, Summer, Summer Time

It's almost here. Summer! The weather is getting warmer (most days) here in SoCal. I can feel it! So much that I actually wore shorts. And I never wear shorts! I don't know what it is but if I'm going to show off my white legs, I'd much rather do it in a skirt than in shorts. There's something about singling out each leg that makes me feel uncomfortable versus having them both wrapped up in a single chute of fabric. I know it might not make sense to you... it makes sense to me. I think. :P

But alas, here are my bare legs, singled out. Because it's hot. And I'm giving shorts a whirl.

A Weekend in Maui :: Day 2 Pt 2

After walking in the morning, the friendboy and I decided to head back to Lahaina and enjoy some burgers at Cool Cat Cafe. They were quite tasty... so tasty I forgot to take photos of them... sorry!

We also roamed around outside at the nearby Banyan Tree Park. These trees are amazing! I remember visiting this park when I was younger and was amazed at how large these brances were. Now, they are everywhere! In fact, there are posts holding these branches up because they're so long/big.

For the rehearsal dinner, we ate at DUO at the Four Seasons Hotel in Wailea. It's one of the groom's favorite restaurants in Maui... and for good reason! We had a pre-fixe menu that was set by the soon-to-be-married couple and it was amazing! The restaurant and hotel property was beautiful! If you're ever in Wailea in Maui, definitely check them out and try the food. It is delicious! My favorite, Truffle Mac n Cheese. I actually had the sirloin and the friendboy actually got the Mahi Mahi. Both were so juicy/tender. The cotton candy at the end of everything was a parting gift from the restaurant. Everyone gets it!

Cruisin' for a Bruisin'

No. No one got hurt in the making of this post. The colors black and blue just remind me of bruises (even though they're sometimes more purple than black or blue) and also the ol' Backstreet Boys album. But of course I'm not talking about either of those things.

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Just Goin' for a Walk

Saturday was a nice and sunny day. Hachi and I decided to go for a walk to take advantage of the weather (it was raining last weekend). He LOVES the wind in his face, the fresh air that it brings, and the sun in his eyes.

Hachi is a teacup Yorkie. He only weights about 3lbs. 3.5lbs when he's not watching his weight.

He needs some stylish sunglasses, he's got the squint going on.

Only two times he pants: 1. When he's thirsty 2. When he's happy about going on walks!

There's those "Surprise Toms" of mine. I forgot to mention that the still have a patch of canvas on the back with their signature label/logo.

"Hey Hachi! Get back here!"

S#!% happens, right? And somebody's gotta do the dirty work. Thanks Bub!
