Your Nautical and Coffee Obsessed Best Friend: From Travel to Fashion and Everything in between
"To me... San Francisco is an ideal city, intellectually stimulating and naturally beautiful. The oceans and forests are close enough to refresh the spirit; the architecture is always exciting." ~ Ruth Bernhard Fascination I admit it is a total cliche. It SCREAMS tourist, but I can not deny my fascination with the Golden Gate Bridge. [...]
"I am a coffee fanatic. Once you go to proper coffee, you can't go back. You cannot go back." ~ Hugh Laurie If you have read my blog you know what a coffee fiend I am. From Starbucks, to Frontside in NoCo to Cafe Jax in the Concrete Jungle. Coffee is a language I not [...]
“For me, hair is an accoutrement. Hair is jewelry. It’s an accessory.” ~ Jill Scott When my friend suggested going to a Drybar in San Francisco, I thought why not? It was something to do on a rainy day. It had a cult following in New York City, but I had yet to jump on […]
"You know more of a road by having traveled it than by all the conjectures and descriptions in the world." ~ William Hazlitt The day dawned bittersweet as it was our last day. We were flying out on a red eye, which was both a blessing and a curse. We had the whole day ahead of [...]

I had been anticipating this day, weeks in advance before I ever arrived in [...]
"All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt." ~ Charles M. Schulz I know you are all thinking I left something epic out on Day Three right? I mean after all that mermaid fun a girl has got to be hungry, right? You would be right! For the sake [...]
"We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we came." ~ John F. Kennedy Day three dawned bright and warm in North Beach. With temps approaching seventy it was the perfect day for a [...]
"A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving." ~ Lao Tzu Day two was equally magical if not perhaps channeling our slight inner insanity, as we chose to wake up before the sun, hopping on a bus just outside my aunt's apartment to take us to the Golden Gate Bridge. [...]
"I didn't really start writing music or lyrics or turning them into songs until I went to San Francisco." ~ Jello Biafra We woke up on Lombard Street to our first full day in the Golden City refreshed and excited for some art! My aunt, an art connoisseur, was taking us to the San Francisco Museum of [...]
