Fantasy vs. Reality: The Urban Picnic

Today we celebrated a friend's birthday in Duboce Park. I took photos of two looks--what I wanted to wear (fantasy: what I would actually wear in summer if I lived in a NORMAL climate), and what I ended up wearing (cold, harsh, San Francisco reality). Which look do you like better?


Fantasy: Shorts & Wedges

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand Reality:

In the end, I got to wear one of my favorite tops (Romeo & Juliet Couture), my favorite pair of jeans (Sold Denim, in a word--amazing), and my new favorite pair of boots (All Saints, purchased during Bloomingdale's Memorial Day sale), so it turns out, reality isn't so bad after all. I recently saw a blog page dedicated to all the celebs who own these boots, Miley Cyrus  included. I'm not quite sure what to make of that. A part of me feels pleased, and another part of me wonders: is it really a good thing I own a pair of boots worn by someone  half my age? 


What did you guys get up to this weekend? Anything fun?

On the Street: Molly in Dr Martens

Just on the heels of my reading an article about the comeback of Docs, I run into Molly down on Haight Street, wearing a vintage midi skirt and Dr Martens. I adore everything about her look--her hair, outfit, shoes, tats. 


Time to tap into your inner punk! 

 

A couple of looks to get you started...

On the Street: Raina

Simple. Adorable. A perfect work outfit for San Francisco summer (aka winter). Enjoy!

TOMS Eyewear

You all know my love affair with TOMS, so I wanted to dedicate a post to their newest philanthropic venture: eyewear! Here's how it works: you buy a pair of their (very cool) sunglasses, and they'll provide someone in need with one (or more) of the following:

1. Medical Treatment
2. Prescription Glasses
3. Sight-saving Surgery

They're starting off in Cambodia, Nepal, and Tibet, with ambition to expand soon.


They have some really cute styles, and they even have a "Virtual Try On" on their website. You can upload your photo and "try on" different pairs. They have aviators, tortoise shell, and my personal favorite, matte frames! 

Matte Olive / Orange

Gold/Dusty Rose Aviators

And now, in going with the TOMS theme, check out Wendy, whom I stopped on the street a few days ago because she looked so effortlessly chic in her TOMS wedges.

Does anyone own TOMS glasses yet? I'd love to see a picture if you do!
