it feels so familiar already

Whipped up a home cooked meal since it feels like forever since I've had that. Been living off of restaurant food which isn't bad, but there's something therapeutic about preparing your own food. I can never tire from my tomato, basil & garlic pasta and nothing beats a perfect Monday late night dinner like this. Eating out has become quite excessive for me so it's nice to enjoy everything I made from scratch. Although I did dine at some really cool places the past week like Umami Burger, Terzo, Bisou Bistro and Skool. You can check my nosh for more of my food adventures!

Oh and by request here's a little photo of my mavo pie. You can find pictures like these on my instagram: @hellonikki or follow me on twitter.com/nikkidesuasido for more frequent updates! xo!

Treasure Island Music Festival is one of my favorite festivals to attend in the Bay. Not only are the views of the city breathtaking, it's really small compared to Outsidelands and one cool thing I learned was that there are never any repeat artists, no overlapping set times, only 2 stages-- and all of this makes it a lot easier to maneuver through unlike Coachella where things are a lot more complicated. Everyone I came out to see, I've already seen at Coachella this year (Chromeo, Cut Copy and Empire of the Sun) but as always, I enjoy a lot of the side things going on when no one is performing- vendor booths, carnival rides, food trucks. But my highlight had to be the Silent Disco- haha this was actually really funny. When you enter this cove it is so quiet.. almost reminiscent of entering a haunted winchester mystery house. At first glance it basically looks like a bunch of people dancing to nothing-- really funny to watch. But once you place these wireless headphones playing music in your ears and participate, everyone grooving actually begins to make sense.

of course i'll come

October is a very festive time in San Francisco and one event I really look forward to is Fleetweek. I attended a yacht party hosted by Stanford's GSB and had an awesome time. It was very cool to watch the air show and see the parade of ships from our view and it was a really fun experience to be among all the other spectators on boats. Here's a little snippet of the Blue Angels in action.

i'm always trying to figure it out

I had dinner at Outerlands in the Sunset and this has to be one of my favorite places to eat! Such a cute and cozy spot that I'm sure you will catch me here at one point or another. This was one of the fur jackets I bought before I left to the Bahamas. Probably my favorite piece in my closet right now. I always refrained from wearing all black since I wore it almost everyday for 3 years straight. Now, I actually like the monotone look and it compliments well with this furry cover of mine. The best part? It has a hood and pockets! Extra brownie points in my book. And I know, I know.. I can't get enough of these shoes! At 5'1'' I need all the help that I can get! :)

Happy Friday!
