I truly believe that everything looks better with a bow! The bigger, the better! Take this romper I am wearing as an example... would I be as excited about it if there isn't a bow? Probably not. I love the chambray and the trapeze silhouette (which is unusual for a romper) but that giant bow just makes it one hundred times better. It looks so chic, don't you agree? Unlike most bloggers who posted their patriotic look(s) before July Fourth, I didn't wear any red white and blue until the actual holiday. This was my real outfit taken on the actual July Fourth... blue chambray romper, red bucket bag with cute scallop details, and striped heels! Also, I am digging how my hair looks when it's pulled back into a sleek ponytail. Might start doing that more, what do you think?

Holiday weekends might be great for traveling, but since that extra dose of traffic is inevitable we tend to explore locally. Often times, a gem of a town is less than an hour away... take Sausalito for example! We visited this quaint little town across the Golden Gate Bridge the day after July Fourth. Although it was jam-packed with people, the weather was absolutely glorious with a clear view of the San Francisco skyline. We spent the afternoon eating, shopping and strolling along the waterfront. On our way home, we took a scenic detour through Marine Headlands. Suddenly all the tourists disappeared, the fog rolled in, and I felt like I was in a dream. The endless fields and windy roads were just breathtaking (we even spotted a beautiful bobcat)! On a different note, I like to dress down when I am out and about all day. A semi sheer oversized button-up paired with cute gingham pants (love how the subtle windowpane print matches the gingham), comfy espadrilles, and a structured satchel make the perfect travel uniform!

All eyes on me, literally. I've got eyes around my neck and eyes on my feet. I always love a good eye print but lately I find myself being more into it than ever! Perhaps summer is making me feel extra groovy! Either way, I think this Lumen necklace by Lulu Frost and these eye print flats are quite awesome! Speaking of awesome, this striped babydoll dress from Pixie Market is pretty awesome as well! I love the ruffled sleeves and the billowy silhouette, it is perfect for a hot summer day!

I think about an awful lot of ice cream during the summertime. Wait, scratch that, actually I am always thinking about ice cream. Don't you? This ice cream bag... where do I even begin? I have been eyeing it for a long time but it was also out of stock for a long time, I finally got my hands on it and I am ecstatic! It is the cream of the crop, perhaps I should say (ice) cream of the crop! Anyways, I styled it with a cute dotted top, a gorgeous tartan organza midi skirt, and a pair of laced up flats. We took these photos after an event in North Beach in San Francisco, thought the cute pastel houses make a perfect backdrop! Now excuse me while I go get a scoop of ice cream! Happy holiday weekend, everyone!

Maison Jules, an Parisian inspired line, is currently having a #MJPiecesOfParis campaign where they discover pieces of Paris in different cities. They stopped by San Francisco last weekend and invited some fellow SF bloggers and I to a French baking and cooking class. I even brought along my fiancé Chris because I thought it would be so fun to cook together! Actually we are pretty good cooks but we don't bake a lot. Anyways, the event was held at Parties That Cook in North Beach and there were five cooking stations where each team whipped up a specific dish... classic gruyère soufflé, croque monsieurs and madames, cream filled éclairs and puffs, vanilla bean crème brûlée ice cream, and Julia's chocolate soufflé. Everything turned out amazing! My mouth is watering just thinking about them! Merci, Maison Jules! What a fun and delectable afternoon!
