a day at the races

calivintage

on sunday, i got together with a big crew of friends for a day at the races. we all met up and rode our bikes to golden gate fields for dollar days: $1 hot dogs, $1 soda, and $1 beer. good times. also, a great excuse to wear a cute hat and to place a few small bets on horses to keep things interesting. after a while, diane of darling darling joined us in our antics and we ended the afternoon at a cute little pub with leanne of paws on my face. it is so much fun to meet up with other bloggers!

also, pictured below are some photos of a few of my friends. that goofy looking fellow with the big beard is not my boyfriend, but he is my boyfriend’s best friend in the world and he also loves to make silly faces for the camera. and he is also a musician. you can listen to some of his music here. brendan is a little camera shy, so he has yet to make a proper appearance on the blog. but he is a writer and artist, and you can visit his blog here.

anyway, it was quite a fun day altogether. what did you do over your weekend?

and in case you were wondering what i wore:
the last straw hat, courtesy of modcloth
striped breton shirt, rodarte for target
high rise skinny jeans, forever 21
woven flats, maude loves harold on etsy

  1. What a coincidence! Yesterday I took some pictures of myself and I was dressed just like you (with the red hat included)! I will soon publish them.

    What I did not take were some funny pictures like the last ones you published!

  2. Whoa that looks like fun! Where is that? I'm guessing not San Francisco, because I don't know where in the city there would be a racetrack? Love the hat! I want one from Modcloth, but in gold! Soon when it's back in stock! You look so Parisian :)

  3. so cutee, i love going to the racetracks near me in new york as well. fun, fun times.

    love your outfit as always! :)

  4. I'm not even going to say how much I envy you the weather :) But I will say that you guys look like a nice bunch of very positive people :)

  5. Looks like you had such a great time!! It's funny because I too wore that hat but in the neutral color yesterday at the rose bowl flea market! It's such a great and cute little hat ^.^

  6. This looks like too much fun!
    I need to get my hands on a hat like that! I love all of the ones you wear!

  7. You and your group of friends are adorable!! It looks like a splendid day and how fun to get some more candid shots.

    Love love love your hat!

  8. What great fun that looks! Love your straw hat. In the UK it's greyhound racing for us common folk, that looks far more sophisticated.

  11. I want to hang out with your friends. I have a hat very similar. I just hope it can be nicer outside before I wear.

  12. i don't think it's possible for anyone to appreciate a dollar day more than a fellow bargainista like me. what fun must have been had by all!

    p.s. note to self: next man i seek out to date, think about one with a full beard since it's so very well represented and super stylish here on these fellas ;)
