San Francisco: Part 2

This is the second installment of highlights and photos from my March SF trip. You can see part 1, here.

On the second day of my trip, the girls and I visited Fisherman's Wharf and Sausalito. I had been to Fisherman's Wharf before and it is fun to see, but it's a little bit too touristy for me! My favorite part of the trip, by far was Sausalito. I definitely want to go back there again one day.

I call these my SF shoes :) But they are from Express and you can purchase them at various locations and here

The rolling hills with greenery and houses were dreamy. 

The cutest restaurant that my wallet couldn't afford to do more than step into for 30 seconds. 


I have a love for old doors and brick walls. 

I loved this gorgeous park in Sausalito. Although it was very crowded, so we didn't stay long. 











I seriously want to frame this picture and hang it in my house. That's how much I love this little town. 




Be on the lookout for part 3 of my trip, later this week!

Sausalito Style

I am still in the process of sharing the rest of San Francisco trip on this blog, but I can honestly say that visiting Sausalito was my favorite part of the entire trip. Sausalito is across the Golden Gate Bridge and it is such a cute and beautiful town. I loved being by the water, all the greenery, the architecture, the shops, and the seafood. 

These pictures were taken in Sausalito right before we left.

San Francisco: Part 1

If you follow me on instagram, then you probably know that I spent my spring break in San Francisco with two of my best girlfriends. It was such a blast and I'm so glad I was able to go and spend time with them. We've known each other since we were five years old!


Back-track to my wedding almost two years ago... this was the last time we were all together. Isn't if funny how I don't even look like this now!?

from left to right: Katey, me, Patty.

I flew into SF Friday night and I was so glad to see these two girls. The three of us haven't hung out all together since my wedding and before that since 2010! 

Our first full day there was Saturday, which we spent in downtown SF shopping and exploring. 

btw, SF is rough on this girl's hair. It was somewhat humid and my hair would not do anything. It was awful!


the cutest jewelry shop window in all of downtown SF... I want these flowers hanging in my own house!






the architecture in San Francisco is so cool! I don't think I could ever live there because I would be distracted by all the sights and I would never get anything important done. 

We then ended the night by getting the most amazing sushi at a place called Ichi Sushi. It's a brand new place off of Mission St. The staff was incredibly friendly and hospitable and the sushi was top notch! And it was extremely affordable. I was very impressed. If you're ever in the area, definitely check them out. 


more details on my pink, black, and white outfit coming to the blog tomorrow!
