While the weather in San Francisco is forever unpredictable, the past couple weeks have been unreal. Indian summer is in full effect + Fall Fashion is not an option. Yesterday I decided to at least embrace a fall color palette…and white denim shorts. My new ‘Stan Smith‘ kicks had just arrived + I was dying to style them. My recent career change has lead to an easy breezy walking commute. Benji + I meet Ash a couple blocks down the street and then walk along the Bay. It is about a 30 minute walk + the perfect start to my day. The new walk deserves new shoes, right?
Benji waits impatiently on the sidelines + does his best to ‘protect’ the bags while Caity + I shoot.

According to Buzzfeed there are 17 Fall Activities All Basic Girls Love + I am thankful to report that I will not be participating in any of them. Lucky for me my cinnamon allergy eliminates most pumpkin eating activities + my other allergy to bullshit eliminates the rest. For Fall I plan on keeping it simple with this little black dress, peep-toe booties + my favorite duffel from Clare V. This Fall I will be launching a new business + doing my best to avoid being basic. Interested in my new business? Follow the Les Mechantes instagram here as we prepare for our early November launch!

Where were you in 1998? I was in 6th grade sporting a mouth full of metal, a head-to-toe catholic school girl uniform + jamming to Britney Spear’s mega hit “…Baby One More Time.” I ask this question because where we took this first shot is reminiscent of the hallways where Ms. Spear’s danced + pranced to the mega hit.Now let’s talk joggers. Are joggers the new skinny jeans? They are everywhere this season + popping up on everyone! I normally save the sweats for walking my dog, but these sassy quilted joggers from John Elliott + Co are simply irresistible + blog worthy in my book.
Why do moo moos have such a bad rap? I personally think they a perfect, but according to Urban Dictionary a Moo Moo is: A rectangular cloth with crude stitching worn by a morbidly obese persons. Well I say screw Urban Dictionary + anyone who thinks that this metallic plaid moo moo is anything but fabulous! I nearly died when I spotted this gem at the Treasure Island Flea Market this past weekend. The Fabulous Nobody vintage booth was filled with everything from vintage moo moos to roller skates to a taxi cab driver hat. I walked away with one moo moo + Ash walked away with two killer dresses. I highly recommend checking out her curated collection of vintage gems here on Etsy + rocking a moo moo ASAP!
I’ve lived in the city of San Francisco for over six years, however I have only been to Treasure Island twice! There is no excuse for this + after this past weekends adventure exploring the island I have a very strong feeling the number of visits under my belt will grow. The reason for this weekends visit was due to the Treasure Island Flea Market. The last weekend of every month the island hosts over 400 local vendors selling antiques, vintage collections, up-cycled items, furniture + fashion.
I managed to walk away with a couple of flea market finds (on the blog soon), but I spent the majority of the day behind my camera lens taking in the eye-catching scenery. The breathtaking views of the bridge + the city skyline initially drew me in, but the history of the island and its abandoned structures left me wanting to spend an entire week exploring!
What I Wore:
Jacket: Sanctuary (c/o), Digi Camo Moto Jacket, Top: James Perse, Sheer Slub Crew Neck Tee, Skirt: Sanctuary (c/o), Editor Skirt, Shoes: Freda Salvador via Sample Sale. Shop new options here + here, Hat: Goorin Bros. via Sample Sale, Watch: Karl Lagerfeld, Karl 7 Sunglasses: Ray-Ban, Aviator Large Metal
