For the love of San Francisco.

I just got back from a five day mini vacation/bday get away to San Francisco and Napa. It was so much fun! And all I have to say about the awesome city of San Francisco, is that I love it so much I am seriously considering moving there when my lease is up next May. I just feel like I am meant to live there, kind of like Boston seven years ago (wow it's been seven years??). I had never been, I just had a gut feeling, and so at 19 year old I picked up my bags and moved across the country and had a great college experience there. My only complaint about San Francisco is the weather - it sucks! I need warmth within my summer, and it was freezing cold in August! Also the rent is double that of LA yes I know, but I made it to LA and did okay. Anyways, it's something I really do want to try out so who knows! Not to mention the men up there are much more attractive to me for some reason. Or at least the owner of Dell'luva. I don't know if it's the business suites or sports gear that catches my eye, but I love that you can actually have a conversation with a guy and the question of what do I "do" doesn't come up right away. Then again maybe I'm just so brainwashed by LA, that every other city is like that...except L.A But San Francisco is rad. And I was pretty stoked that there was a Gilman drive up in the Bay! I represent you know!

Here ere are some highlights from my trip.
1)The Farmers Market:


The SF Farmers Market was huge and awesome! I have always been a fan of the farmers markets in LA, but they don't even compare to how big this one was. I wish I would have taken more pics of it. I bought a peach for breakfast! But, if I had known that down the street the amazing smelling potatoes were cooking in these skillets, I totally would have waited in the mile long line for them! Next time.


2)North Beach area:
I really keep wanting to call it the North Shore and I think I did the whole time I was there. But our hotel was a few blocks away and if I were to live in SF this would be an area I could chill in for sure. Tons of cool wine bars, and great happy hours and bomb Italian food restaurants, hooka bars!, random cool stores, and etc.

This place had yummy food.

Go check out De'lluva wine bar 525 Green Street off of Columbus in the North Shore. Shit I mean Beach. It's a very chill, cool wine bar, with live music, and this delicious wine above was only $4 bucks a glass at happy hour (4-8pm) and $6 bucks regular. We loved it! (And we also loved the hottie 28yr old owner) and are trying to convince him to open one up in LA LA LAND.


3) Pier 39/ FishermansWarf.

Okay Okay, I know Pier 39 is a total tourist attraction it's like living in San Diego and hanging out at Seaport Village or something, but it was my first time there and I thought it was so cute! If it wasn't freezing out...no literally freezing in August, I would have wanted to stay longer. But we did go for a ride in a petti-cab and eat bomb clam chowda for dinner. I really wanted a hot date on my shoulder this night, perfect little (cliche) date spot. Although spending time with the bestie worked too :-)

4) Haight/ Ashbury.
Love this hippie, cool part of town. Great shopping I bought a cool hat/scarf in one knitted puma thing that i'm sure i'll never wear but hey, it will be my motivation to get to the snow this year!
Tons of great cafes. Including the BOMB place lovely Laura took my friend's Amanda and Eric and I to, called The Porks Store Cafe. I had a Spinach and feta omlette with hash browns it came with biscuits...yum yum! This isn't the pic of my food, but it was my friend's plate.
