What is better than spending the day as a tourist in your own city?
When I think of a typical San Francisco tourist, I think of freezing cold families walking around in ugly San Francisco sweatshirts (they had to buy because it got so unexpectedly cold) at Pier 39.
My mission for the day was to find some amazing crab, since crab season was fresh underway and I had yet to participate. After a brief yelp search the Crab House was deemed the place to go and off to Pier 39 I went!
I am clearly not a tourist…but I did insist on having my picture taken next to the sea lions.
Thank god I had my cape and oxblood turtleneck on to distinguish myself from “them.”
Cape: (?) This was a total Lucy find and I have no idea who makes it. Shop here and here for inspiration!Turtleneck: Gap Pure draped turtleneckLeggings: Zara high waist leggings (a score from Spain and an amazing basic)Boots: Boutique 9 “Charissa”Bag: Max Mara “Marguax”Sunglasses: Ray-Ban
It has been absolutely freezing in San Francisco this week, so it was time to break out the big boy wool coat. Not only is this the warmest coat in my closet I am obsessed with the big gold over sized buttons!

My love for all things Missoni is very clear to anyone who knows me and from this post on Designers I Love.
So when Ashley found this hotel during her travels in Europe she had to share!
Edinburgh is an incredible city of gothic architecture, rich history, haunted allies and….HOTEL MISSONI.
I was stopped dead in my tracks on the Royal Mile when I saw a handsome Scotsman in a Missoni kilt. I took a picture with him, then wandered into the hotel to take tons of pictures.
Not only is this place (obviously) decked out in Missoni design, but it has a fabulous restaurant in it as well. Here is a link to their gallery where you can see more of their decor: http://www.hotelmissoni.com/hotelmissoni-edinburgh/gallery
Even Missoni print ornaments on the tree!
This place is in a perfect, central location where you can step outside and see cathedrals, libraries, galleries, and is right next to Victoria Street where boutiques and other incredible restaurants are.
My faves:
Grain Store Restaurant: Ancient setting in stone walled rooms lit by candles with a menu to die over. http://www.grainstore-restaurant.co.uk/
Ondine: Modern, but incredible menu. http://www.ondinerestaurant.co.uk/
