City Days.

Yesterday was such a brilliant day, folks. I went into San Francisco with some friends and we had such a blast thrifting and taking photos and exploring! We were around the Mission district, and went to Thrift Town, a Goodwill (where we got yelled at...) and another thrift store! I got a two blouses, a pair of heels, and a lovely maroon corduroy skirt.

I love the city.

We ate lunch at a little burger shop called Urban Burger and I split a sandwich with Jess - a perfect amount! All around this area of the city there are beautiful murals, and I just had to photograph them. We walked down a particular alleyway that had murals along every wall and inch of it. This post is photo-heavy, beware... :)

Around 4 we walked down to Dolores Park and grabbed some coffee. It was a terrific day temperature-wise! Absolutely fabulous for the city! Made me think of summertime, and I got all smiley and it was just great. I have so many things I want to do. With friends, with Derek - just in general! I hope I can play these things out some day soon.

Hope your extended weekend was as lovely as mine. x

    haha your jumping ones are hilarious!! San Francisco looks so awesome! The only time I've been there was waiting for a plan in the airport. I slept on a bench and it looked really hazy but this was 6 am. I tried to find the bridge while we were taking off but didn't see it! I love the overall shorts too! Your are too cool!

    Clarion Alley! My bf hates it because it always smells like urine, and while I can't argue with that assertion, I always like to see the murals.

    I love your shortalls. I gave mine away in one of those closet purging frenzies, and I've really come to regret it.

    Did you guys check out the Salvation Army on valenica? It's down a ways, but it has the best stuff if you ask me :)

    I'm so glad I found your blog! I love your sense of style. All of your outfit posts are so awesome! Sorry, if I'm reaching fan-girl pitch here, but I love your haircut! Anyways, these are awesome photos. There's a place called Commercial Drive near the city I live, and it has all this art as well. I love all the art. Happy blogging :)
