They say that the world was built for two...

This was the 3rd and final day of our trip, which was like 2 weeks ago. I realize I'm way behind...but looking at these pics takes me back to the elation I felt that day. 
We went to the same place in front of the Golden Gate Bridge, where we took pictures 4 years ago. But the marine layer was so thick this year, that we didn't exactly get the same image this time around. Just to give you a sense, here is the original:

But the pictures we took this year, the bridge is nowhere to be found. So eerie. But anyway, after that-we had breakfast at La Boulange. I had been wanting to go this place for a long time after I've heard such great things from everyone I know who lived in the bay area. It certainly did not disappoint. They have the best macarons I've ever had. I got my sister and her best friend Veronica each a box, since I know they don't have a good macaron place in Santa Cruz or any for that matter. We left San Francisco early because we were meeting my sister and Veronica in Santa Cruz to have lunch and hang out for a couple hours before our long drive home. Seeing them was so exciting, especially since I hadn't seen Victoria in 2 months. Even though it was short, knowing I was seeing her in a week made it easy to part.

That was one of the best trips I've ever had. There's always something so soothing about going up north. We sometimes feel that's where we belong. Perhaps not right now, but I would love to live there when we're a little more settled. Until next time, San Francisco...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Today I was thankful for not throwing up at my in-law's house due to overstuffing myself. But apart from that, my day has sort of been perfect! Pictures to come soon, since I've found myself way behind on blogging. Instead I give you pics from the 2nd day of our trip. 
First off we woke up to the most amazing view from our hotel. The bay looked absolutely beautiful and picturesque, we spent about an hour just standing on the bridge taking in its beauty. We stayed in Mill Valley the majority of the day, exploring what the cute town had to offer. Then we drove into the city in the evening to do a little shopping in Union Square. Finally it was dinnertime at Tyler Florence's restaurant called El Paseo, back in Mill Valley. I give the restaurant a 4 1/2 out of 5 stars due to it's rustic modern decor and very cozy atmosphere (we were sat next to an elaborate fireplace) and very attentive wait staff. Unfortunately the food was only ok...which bummed me out considering how long I waited to eat there. All in all, it was a beautiful day, and just thinking about it makes me want to go back very soon!  

But back to today, I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I'm so thankful for all of the amazing people and blessings I have in my life. And I'm so happy I get to see my family again tomorrow!

Heaven is a place on earth with you

The beginning of this week was something I had been looking forward to for months now. The husb and I have been working so hard lately, longer hours, etc...that we haven't been able to really relax. So we decided to get away for a couple days and drive up north to a little town just 15 minutes above San Francisco called Mill Valley. We booked a hotel right next to the bay overlooking Sausalito, and the view from our balcony was just exquisite. This post is just day one of our trip...since we drove, we didn't arrive at our destination til about 4pm. We got settled in, then we went into the city for some vintage shopping and dinner at Ragazza. I'm pretty much sure that nothing beats the food and shopping in SF. I got some really amazing vintage pieces and had some of the best food I've had in a long time that night. 

P.S. Five people stopped me at Haight Ashbury asking me where I got my red velvet leggings. Timeless, baby! Come check out our store, we've got tons of great winter stuff!

Sorry it's been like 2 weeks since my last post. Life has been a little overwhelming for me lately, but a good overwhelming. I've recently changed jobs, and I am so happy where I am right now. I currently work for 2 amazing companies, and last night-my Timeless crew got together for a wonderful dinner at Maggiano's at the Grove. It was so sweet of Stella to take us all out. It was definitely a night filled with so much laughter and love. I feel very lucky to have such great girls to work with.

Hope you guys had a great Halloween! I sure did! My best friend made us an incredible dinner (chicken pot pie), and then we hopped on over to her sister's best friend's house for a low key Halloween shindig. Great people, great food, great times! 

 I've been wanting to dress up as Edie Sedgwick, one of my fashion icons, for a very long time. And this year, I finally got a chance to...I already had practically everything in my closet-which made the decision much easier. All I needed was the blonde wig. It was nice being blonde for a night. :)
