It’s here! It’s here! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is here!

And unless you’ve been living under a rock and far far away from social media…

You are well aware of the fact that every fashion blogger will be letting you know that you have until August 5th to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. Yes, this sale happens every year and in my opinion, the sale just keeps on getting better. So with that in mind, I decided to break down the best pieces and styling suggestions from the sale for all my San Franciscans.

When can you shop?

Early Access (with a Nordstrom card): July 12-July 18

Public Event: July 20-August 5

Where to shop in San Francisco?

Nordstrom San Francisco Centre

865 Market Street, San Francisco, CA 94103

Mon-Sat: 10am-8:30pm
Sun: 11am-7pm

Nordstrom Stonestown Galleria

285 Winston Drive, San Francisco, CA 94132

Mon-Sat: 10am-9pm
Sun: 11am-7pm

The best way to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale San Francisco style:

Take advantage of the buy now and pick up in store feature. It is a major lifesaver and honestly the only way I ever shop at Nordstrom. Find it, Love it, Get it – FAST!
Stock up on what we really need in San Francisco. The Anniversary sale is the best time of the year to stock up on cardigan sweaters, jeans, basic layering tanks, tees, and boots – AKA the basic San Francisco wardrobe.
Shopping for you man? If he lives in the Marina – hook him up with all The North Face and Patagonia!
Looking to drive and park? Stonestown is your only option in the city. Looking to really go for a drive? My two favorite spots to shop outside of the city are Corte Madera and Palo Alto.

#Collection wines by Gia Coppola – A Getaway to Francis Ford Coppola Winery

July 30, 2018KatWalkSF 18 Comments

A weekend getaway to Sonoma during the summer is easily one of my favorite activities – especially when it involves attending an event at a winery with a pool! The Francis Ford Coppola Winery is located in Geyserville, Ca (about ten minutes from downtown Healdsburg) and an absolute must if you are heading to Sonoma during the summer.

This past Friday I attended a pool party at Coppola Winery to celebrate the launch of #Collection by Gia Coppola. The nighttime soiree featured a silent disco with tunes by Myles Hendrik, carnival food and 80s arcade games. The #Collection by Gia Coppola was inspired Gia and her creative personality. This new style of wine—one that’s light, unpretentious, and made for the hashtag generation was flowing all night long (I am fairly certain I had ALL the rosé).

This look is from our drive up from San Francisco to Sonoma. I kept it comfy for the drive (just about two hours), yet chic with the addition of the hat and basket bag. I just snagged these jeans from Express and I could not be more pleased with the fit. I have been looking for comfortable, mid-rise white jeans for months and little did I know the brand that I hadn’t shopped at since high school would be the source of my new favorite jeans!

We stayed in the two private suites on the property that are not open to the public, we tasted ALL the wine and we danced our asses off during the silent disco party. Scroll down for us breaking it down with Francis!

Sweat It Out 2018. How I Found My Soul at SoulCycle San Francisco

July 21, 2018KatWalkSF 24 Comments

Sweat it out 2018, How I Found My Soul, SF Style, SF Fashion, SoulCycle, KatWalkSF, January Goals, Fitness Goals, New Years Resolution, SF Blogger, Top Blogger, Aviator Nation, Spin Class, Cycling, Is Soul Cycle Worth it?, Expensive Spin Class,

2018 is here! We are 8 days in and today I decided to really kick off my New Year (a little late). What does that mean for me? Step number one: NO food delivery. No caviar, no GrubHub, no NOTHING. Everything that enters my mouth will be made by me at home or I will WALK to get takeout. I know, very 2008 but the delivery chaos of 2017 in my life HAS TO STOP.

Next up is my workout routine. Did I work out in 2017?

Yep.

Did I work out consistently in 2017? Hell no!

In 2017 I started attending SoulCycle classes around the Bay Area (insert an eye roll). I know every white girl in the marina swears by SoulCycle San Francisco and honestly at first I HATED IT. I felt so silly dancing on a bicycle to the beat and was honestly VERY intimidated by the front row ladies with their rock hard abs and coordinating workout sets.

Flash forward to today – after almost six months of classes, I have to say that I found my Soul at Soul Cycle San Francisco. It is my favorite way to start my day and I honestly feel 100% better both physically and mentally after class. SoulCycle has also become very personal for me. While I normally enjoy group fitness classes with my friends, this is the one point in my day where I enjoy being alone and zoning out. I leave all of my stress (and electronic devices) in my locker and spend 45 mins focusing on me…not a bad way to kick off 2018, right?

6 Month Update: We are six months into 2018 and boy have things changed over here. At the beginning of April, I tore my MCL skiing in Lake Tahoe and pretty much all physical activity for me came to a hard stop. Knee injuries are no joke and my failure to follow doctor’s orders led me to two weeks of bedrest and flat shoes for spring. Apparently prancing around San Francisco in heels with a torn MCL is a no-no! Now we are halfway through June and I am finally back on the bike and ready to get my mind and booty back into shape!

Now that I’m back on the bike and ready to scream cry to Madonna SoulCycle has launched SoulActivate. SoulActivate is a 45-minute high-intensity interval and strength training class on the bike. Think heart rate variation, timed interval pushes and an extra weight series with heavier weights. I’ve done it once – and it literally destroyed me…in a good way!

Where exactly did I find my soul?

Favorite SoulCycle Studios and Instructors:

Northern California

Union St. – Luigi – Take his 60-minute SoulSurvivor class and I guarantee that you will leave with a smile on your face (mixed with sweat) and NO idea how 60-minutes of hardcore spin flew by. Luigi is by far my favorite SoulCycle San Francisco instructor and I’m not the only one! If you are interested in booking his class make sure you book it in advance as his classes tend to sell out.

San Mateo – Devin S – I met Devin at the new Outdoor Voices store in San Francisco. She was a gem at the store and the most passionate and motivating instructor in the studio. She is a true badass and worth the drive from San Francisco to San Mateo. Not into the drive down south? You can catch her a couple of times a week at SoulCycle San Francisco too!

Southern California

Santa Monica – Lindsey S – Did I cry during her 90-minute Turkey Burn class on Thanksgiving? Hard YES. Why? Because she is a fu*king rock star. I have never had an instructor in any fitness class push me spiritually and physically the way Lindsey does. If you are down in LA a visit to Lindsey at the Santa Monica studio is a MUST. Can’t make it down to LA? Check out her podcast here.

And if you are in San Francisco this weekend the ladies of the top health podcast on iTunes are bringing their show to San Francisco for a special two-day event June 23-24. Sign up for Lindsey’s Saturday 2pm ride on Union here and a conversation with the girls and Millana Snow takes place on Sunday. The event will begin with a grounding meditation and a healing session from Snow. Tickets for the event are $30.

The Nordstrom Lace Cover-Up You Need Until You Find Your Summer Body

July 5, 2018KatWalkSF 19 Comments

KatWalkSF poolside at the Meritage Resort and Spa Napa in a Nordstrom Lace Cover-up

Guys, I’m just gonna be REAL honest here. My summer body is NOT here. I’m looking for it this week and I am hell-bent on finding it before I go to LA at the beginning of June – insert my crash diet. But let’s just be real here, I will most likely not find my summer body before June and it is highly likely that this Nordstrom lace cover-up will be in my suitcase for LA.

My lack of summer body hit me just as we crossed the Golden Gate bridge on the way Napa a couple of weeks ago. I made Ashely pull off the freeway and make an emergency pit stop at the oh-so-fabulous Nordstrom Corte Madera because nobody wants to see my winter body at the pool. We ran upstairs to the swim department and this pretty lace cover-up was calling my name. The plunging necklines in the front and back give this boho dress the perfect amount of conceal and reveal until you find your summer body like me. The sleeves hid my arms and the side slits show just the right amount of leg. I felt fabulous at the pool in this bad boy and EVERYONE needs these Hermes dupe sandals (I stole them from Ash).
