off the freeway

I got this dress at Liv Boutique a couple months ago and these old beat up espadrilles are still a favorite comfy wedge. Anyhow, call me Clovergirl, but I have a fascination for cows and on our way home we drove by to look for that sign off the freeway. We must've been distracted and passed it but we did stumble upon this small barn to get a close up of some cows.

my first booties from dsw i got last year and they still look great and i finally got to sport one of the tops i got in hawaii since the weather finally lightened up. 

we did damage in santa rosa.. shopping can be amazing here, which must explain the smile on my face. 

aside from the thrift shops that always seem to be the best place to find things here like the goodwill, salvation army, or sutter hospice; there's stores like liv boutique which is hands down one of my favorites places to shop. downtown on 4th street is filled with other cute stores like punch and one of my favorite barnes and noble joints to hang at. the plaza is right at the end of the street and railroad square continues on where we strolled along after checking out the welfare league shop and i scored the most adorable belt for $2!

i could go on and on with the reasons why i love this place..

i ate at one of my favorite chinese restaurants, San Tung, located on Irving St. in San Francisco. 

once you enter this busy spot and squeeze your way in to write your name on the board and the number of guests in your party, you can join the rest of the crowd patiently waiting as they overflow outside the restaurant.

the service is great and the food arrives quickly, so it makes up for the wait that can feel extremely long, especially when you're hungry. but it's definitely worth your while and since every table seems to be there for the dry fried chicken wings and string beans you really can't go wrong with this order.

and after i eat chinese food i enjoy something sweet so we went to Genki, a fun asian snack central that offers crepes, tapioca, milkballs and goodies that range from candies to beauty items. 

i usually get a thai tea milkball and pocky but i felt pretty daring and opted for the thai coffee milkball instead with a nutella and almond crepe making it the perfect selection to satisfy my palette. Afterall, anyone who knows me, knows i always end my meals with a dessert.

 

winter sun

we've been unusually getting more sunshine these past few days, however, as the rained trickled in, it brought back the old weather and the reason this place is called fog city.

i'm originally from daly city- what up. ;) and although i don't live here anymore this place always reminds me of home.

I grew up in the Serramonte area and in my neighborhood, Gellert Park was a main spot to be. It reminds me of a time when daly city was still 415, everyone's phone number began with 878 and there once was a UA at metro center.

but if you know me, i have this weird memorization for numbers. even if you dial on a phone, i can tell you what number you're pressing by the sound of the tone. strange. but it's one of my many talents i possess. 

Anyhow, I got my necklace earlier this week and i love it. I know, I caved and got the "Carrie" name necklace from Sex and the City, however, it looks so much better when it's not your own name, and since I would never get a tattoo this is the closest it'll get for me.
