 Doesn't this look like an amazing place to curl up all weekend with a good book and a glass of wine? I wouldn't mind. I love getting ideas for fun things to do each weekend, what are some of your favorite weekend activities? I hope your weekend is wonderful and relaxing.

See you Monday!

Borrowed From My Roommate's Closet

You know that feeling when there isn't an empty hanger in your closet, yet you can't find a thing to wear? Lucky for me, my roommate (writer of LLC Style) has something close to a dream closet. She also just purchased a new camera, so we woke up on Saturday morning feeling inspired for a shoot. When I couldn't decide what to wear, we decided to switch things up and she styled a look for me inspired entirely from her closet. I thought this was such a fun idea for a blog post and of course, I had to share. I felt just like I was playing dress up, which of course was a favorite every day activity for me at age seven.

Treasure Island Flea

When I first moved to San Francisco, I researched the best flea markets in town and marked them all on my weekend calendar. The Treasure Island Flea only happens once a month, so I was eager to finally make it a few weekends ago. I grabbed some friends and a cup of coffee and headed across the bridge for some Saturday scavenging. It was everything I hoped for and more. Prices are higher than the average flea market, but the assortment of amazing finds is incredible. My roommate and I wanted everything in sight and left with full trunk. It's really great for shabby chic finds, succulents and a tasty assortment of food trucks and live music. It makes for a great Saturday excursion and I can't wait to return next month.

three: yes, that is Rihanna and she was amazing live / Foreign Cinema / Easter florals / a ferry boat to Sausalito 

I'm so ready for the weekend. I just couldn't seem to catch up this week. I'm looking forward to some San Francisco exploration and time outdoors in this beautiful weather. 

See you Monday!

Lucky FABB Look: Spring Break Florals

I just love adventures. As you know, last week my friend Laura and I left foggy San Francisco to attend the Lucky FABB fashion and beauty blogger conference in sunny Los Angeles. It was so much fun packing up the car after work and heading out for our mini spring break adventure. We stayed at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, where we snapped some photos on the star-studded sidewalk after the conference. This outfit is an unintentional ode to my Topshop splurge in London this past summer. When picking items to wear to the conference, I instantly gravitated to the springiest pieces in my closet, which in fact, all happened to be purchased from Topshop. 

Although we are back in San Francisco, the warm L.A. weather followed us home for a delightful surprise. It's amazing how uplifting a little bit of sunshine and warm weather can be.

Lucky FABB West 2013

What a weekend! I couldn't be more ready to jump into bed, but not of course without telling you about my trip to L.A. for Lucky FABB West, presented by Lucky Magazine. About 300 bloggers were invited to attend this two-day event, to learn from industry icons and network with fellow fashion and beauty bloggers. The conference was held at the beautiful SLS Beverly Hills, and of course they didn't miss a beat. Fresh flowers, candy carts and a Smilebooth photo booth, were just a few of the blogger-appropriate features decorating the lobby. 

I loved being able to network with like-minded bloggers, all of which have a love of sharing beautiful things (hello Instagram!) and being creatively inspired. Kelly Osbourne shared her fierce approach to fashion, Drew Barrymore talked about life and beauty, Betsey Johnson premiered her new reality show, Emily Schuman (Cupcakes and Cashmere) talked the business of blogging, Eva Chen (Conde Nast) and Hillary Kerr (Who What Wear) talked success and Rachel Nguyen (That's Chic) shared her knowledge of styling. It was a treat to learn a few tips and tricks from some of my very favorite fashion and lifestyle photographers, as well as industry icons that I look up to every day. I never wanted it to end. And of course, Lucky Magazine sent us off in style with an entire Le Sportsac weekend duffle bag, filled to the brim with fabulous goodies.

I've always wanted to attend a blog conference, specifically Blogshop, Independent Fashion Bloggers Conference and LuckyFABB. Well, now I can say that my blogging bestie and I are officially off to LuckyFABB in Los Angeles. We are so excited! 

Because "Spring Break" is no longer in our vocabulary or on our schedules, we decided to make it happen regardless. We are packing our bags and hopping in the car tomorrow evening for a mini spring break getaway.

Thank you all for voting so generously for my blog post during the Lucky Magazine contest. I can't thank you enough for all of the nice comments and votes! Although I didn't win the contest, I was still invited to attend the LuckyFABB conference. So I'm off! Now the question is, what to wear?
