A Day in the Life

A Day in the Life

simple and dressy for summer

The last few days have been lovely and warm in the afternoon. It’s like SF is giving it all it’s got to make us not want to move this weekend. “Don’t go!” it says, “I can try really hard to have good weather! See? Look! Sun!”

So I threw the city a bone and broke out some polka dot shorts I recently bought in anticipation of the hot Manhattan summer. Don’t tell New York that I let SF get the shorts first, ok?

Girlfriend is seriously good at finding amazing vintage pieces, and if you’re a fan of costume jewelry, you’re going to be blown away by some of the new things she has in the shop.
