If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair.


On Saturday of this past weekend, two of my girlfriends and I decided we needed a break from Berkeley for our sanities' sake. (My computer tells me that "sanities" isn't a word, but "sanity" wouldn't be correct either, right?) Sometimes this place is just a little more intense than I really feel like dealing with. So we booked a room (shown above!) at the Sir Francis Drake Hotel. I had stayed there once before but forgot how cute and convenient it is!
The best part of the hotel: these fabulous and lush robes that are free of charge to wear!
Such a good recommendation I got from my friend Kelsey
Also, we may or may not have gone to sleep before 11:30
We spent the day shopping and the night drinking wine and a delicious dinner at this cute little Italian place that I unfortunately cannot remember the name of. If it comes to me I'll update this!
Capellini (top) that was literally TO DIE FOR. I will probably dream about it tonight.
Creme brulee (bottom) equally delicious, but not quite as good as the chocolate cake my friends got!
My one complaint about the trip is that the shopping was really disappointing! I think it was because I had very specific things I wanted to buy, but either couldn't find them or chickened out of spending a lot. My sole purchase (I don't think I have ever been able to use the term "sole purchase" before. Shopping is an addiction) was this fabulous light pink blazer from Aritzia. It was only $85, which is pretty reasonable for a blazer. So happy I stumbled upon it while Kate tried things on.
Awkward iPhone picture, per my mother's request to see the blazer. Aren't you jealous?!
All in all, this was a fabulous getaway! I feel totally refreshed and ready to take on the next two weeks. Sometimes all you need is a nice distraction, and I'm so grateful that we distracted ourselves in such style this weekend. :)

**My apologies for all the awkward photos! Some were taken from Facebook, and my camera is super janky.
Time for a new one!
