Cacti

On Whit: Everlane tee, c/o Choies pencil skirt with mesh panel and box clutch, c/o LeBunnyBleu sandals

I'm currently obsessed with pencil skirts, so I naturally gravitated toward this one from Choies.  Too bad the sizing is a little off and the fabric isn't forgiving enough for the skirt to look flattering on.

These are the Spring Break Closet looks that we created for our Missguided collaboration.  We may not look very spring break in the "Cabo San Lucas" sense, but this is San Francisco spring break for ya. Our going out style is essentially our daytime style but more intense - so Whit selected a romper (she loves rompers) with a deep V and cutouts, while Mal picked a sequin mini dress (sequins tend to sneak in her day-to-day wear already) with an intricate swirl pattern.

Missguided would like to offer $500 worth of spring break pieces to one lucky reader (you could be clothed for Spring Breaks for the next few years!).  Find out how to enter this giveaway via their Facebook app (it's super easy!).  The giveaway ends on February 27, 2014, so you have two days.  Go go go!

I am actually allergic to bees, but right now I am into all things bee print (I also got really cute gold and white honeycomb stationary at the Sak's Outlet).

Whitney giving directions to the mosaic stairs while Mal drives:

"You can't turn left so make a u-turn"

"What, a u-turn where?"

"You missed it, you were supposed to turn right. I meant right and then u-turn."

This weekend we were all set to go to the reopening of our favorite Berkeley Chinese restaurant, Great China, only to have them delay the opening for a few days :(.  The original building had a fire a couple of years ago (while we were there!), and we have anxiously awaited for them to reopen ever since.

Seriously, if you are in Berkeley around lunchtime...go get the spicy garlic pork lunch special!

2-in-1

On Whit: c/o Choies Shift Dress with Cutouts, Forever 21 leather sleeved coat (not sold anymore but email me if you're interested --I'm trying to clear out my closet!), c/o H&M contrast panel boots, c/o Bollare La Mer Collections Sunset Gold Multichain Wrap Watch, Karen Walker Super Duper Strength Sunnies

Snapped these photos quickly as the sun was setting and ended up with what looks like photos taken on separate days.  Edmond convinced me that the first location wasn't great so we took a few steps around the corner where there was different lighting.  I still can't decide which I like better, so here they both are.

I See Gulls

On Whit: c/o Choies White Tshirt Contrast Stripe Trim and Mini Skirt with Zippers, c/o Timex Originals Classic Round Watch (get 20% off with code: SAVE20), Frye wedge booties (old)

Isn't this wall art so darn cute?  I took photos across the street a while back, and this is what completes the whole piece.  It's one of the hidden gems that I've discovered in the Sunset besides Grand View Park.

I spy some of my favorite places in San Francisco: Golden Gate Park and AT&T Park.  And I spy some of my not-so-favorite things about the city: meter maids and seagulls.  Not gonna lie, these seagulls are pretty adorable.  For a good second I thought they were penguins.

*UPDATE*

So..Mal confirmed that the birds above are, in fact, penguins.  My bad.  What are penguins doing in San Francisco?
