oh hello! today i’m sporting an outfit that i have to admit was slightly influenced by velma from scooby doo. that’s right, i’m dressed like a cartoon! coz really, what fun is fashion without a sense of humor? well, actually it was sort of a coincidence when i realized that my mostly orange dress combined with this bob were sort of begging for me to wear with my new glasses! i’m really excited about these new frames because they’re fun to wear and they give me a much needed break from constantly wearing contact lenses. and if you haven’t noticed, i’m beginning to become a bit obsessed with glasses and have been secretly planning to collect a ton of different frames to go with my various outfits. and fortunately for me and my eyes, i’ve found some good companies online who have really affordable glasses!

so this is what i wore on saturday for a day spent thrifting and vintage shopping in san francisco, where i had my eye on more silly psychedelic prints to add to my wardrobe. i feel like my outfits have been so centered around solids that it’s high time that the pendulum swung in a different direction. and it’s been fun focusing on more vintage, too!

this sunday was one of those glorious weekend days that was pretty much perfect. i woke up nice and late before wandering over to lynn and lu’s with brendan for a proper breakfast of oat pancakes with eggs and a giant cafe au lait out on the sunny back patio. then we strolled back home to lounge around before an afternoon around town spent vintage shopping (where i scored this cute vintage sun dress) topped off with one scoop of banana honey peanut swirl and another scoop of chocolate chip oatmeal ice cream from ici. then we meandered back home for a nap before setting out on a neighborhood stroll that landed us at the grocery store to pick up some fresh lemons and limes to make ice cold margaritas. if the world really were to end tonight, this would be the way to go!

you may remember a while back, i wrote about my interest in warby parker glasses! well, almost six months later, and i finally decided to take advantage of their home try-on program (after seeing the likes of eat.sleep.wear. and jen loves kev sporting their own stylish glasses) to pick out a pair of frames. i was so excited when i placed the order, that i sent a little tweet to the folks at warby parker, who asked if i would share some photos so they could help me decide which pair to get! so last night, my boyfriend and i took turns trying them out to get some opinions on which frames to get. this actually might be one of the rare appearances that brendan has made on the blog. he was very sleepy after a long day of work when we took these pictures, so i hope he doesn’t mind that i posted these for everyone to see!

i’m actually not convinced that any of these will be right for me (though i definitely spot a pair i like for brendan), but all of these styles come in different colors, too! oh, decisions! and i’m open to suggestions!

yesterday was a particularly lazy sunday, spent sleeping in, drinking mimosas, and laying about the house. but by the early evening, we were struck by the sunny skies and decided that we would run out to marin country to drive up mt. tamalpais. it’s an easy weekend destination when we have the urge to get outside. in fact, i’ve posted photos from mt. tam before! this time, we drove up to the tippy top and got a hazy view of the entire bay area. if you look closely, you can see san francisco waaaay out in the background. lucky for us, we caught the sunset before making our way back home, with a necessary stop at sol food for delicious puerto rican fare.

i feel pretty darn silly posting these pictures today because it is currently cold and rainy outside. but it was pretty pleasant over the weekend when i snapped these photos during a neighborhood stroll. i was excited to wear my new little prairie dress because even though this dress is modern, the reason i was so drawn to it is because it is such a classic ’70s and ’80s-inspired piece. this outfit actually makes me think of something my mother would have worn when she was younger, complete with the little cork wedges, though i’m sure hers would have been sky high because she clocks in at a teeny-tiny 4’11”!

speaking of moms, i’m super excited to be visiting southern california this weekend for my sister’s wedding! i get to see my whole family all together, which has become such a rare occurrence these days. and i always miss the warm desert weather when spring rolls around… i checked the forecast and it’s going to be in the high 80s! oh yeah, i’m pulling out all of my favorite sun dresses and getting some sun this weekend!
