KatWalkSF - Uniqlo and Lemaire

Uniqlo announced that they would be working on a Spring/Summer collection with Lemaire last fall and I’m pretty sure I had a small panic attack and screamed with excitement.

Lemaire is a french apparel brand led by Christophe Lemaire and Sarah-linh Tran. The brand presents collections designed for everyday life with attention to details influenced by street style. Lemaire is highly respected in Europe and continues to gain critical acclaim around the world for its sophisticated style.

What I Ate Wednesday: Burlingame Eats

KatWalkSF 6 Comments

Alana's - Farmer's GardenI spent the majority of last week and the beginning this week in Burlingame while my beloved mini cooper was repaired.

This lead me to hit up some of my old + new favorite spots on the peninsula.

Starting with my ABSOLUTE favorite spot Alana’s.

I’ve been eating at Alana’s since I was a kid and ordering the exact same thing:

Farmer’s Garden: no mushrooms with an English muffin. Get this and a side of Swedish oatmeal pancakes.

Other favorite breakfast spots in Burlingame: Nini’s Coffee Shop and Christie’s.

Bare Bowls - Burlingame

Every #BasicBitch (in Burlingame) needs an acai bowl -insert Bare Bowls.

This is the Rincon Bowl without granola or almond milk due to my cinnamon allergy…remind me to tell you about that one time at Starbucks…

Sixto's Cantina - BurlingameHappy Hour at Sixto’s Cantina was (almost) a daily event.

For $5 M-F from 3pm-6pm and S-S from 2pm-4pm, you can snag everything from guacamole to house-made empanadas to a $6 margarita.

Mingalaba - BurlingameI hit Mingalaba up during a solo lunch on the Ave.

I had heard so many positive things about this Burmese spot and was determined to try it before I left Burlingame. I read online that this place gets packed, even at lunch so I got there right at 11am when they opened. The reviews were correct. This place was packed within 30 minutes of opening.

I ordered a lunch special and was not disappointed. I need to come back for dinner and try the entire menu soon!

Vince's Shellfish - PrawnsAnd a trip down the peninsula is never complete without getting my hands on some seafood from Vince’s Shellfish. Lucky for me I scored an invite to an Easter/Birthday Party that served up some of THE BEST prawns I have ever had. I’m pretty sure I cleared a platter of prawns…not so lucky for the party hosts.

What are some of your favorite spots to eat in Burlingame?

Did I miss anything?

Where should I eat next time the mini needs a repair?

 

Over The Top Style

re:named tuck sleeve off shoulder top

Another not-so-basic look from me!

There is something about this look that I love, even though it is a bit over the top.

The off the shoulder top is a new favorite to add to my ever growing collection and the plaid skirt that I spent MONTHS searching for on ebay makes me oh-so-happy!

Frances Valentine

We all know Kate Spade…

and if you don’t, where have you been for the past 23 years?

Well, our girl Kate parted ways with her brand in 2007 and is back at it with her new brand, Frances Valentine.

For its kickoff collection, Frances Valentine is focused on footwear (there are a couple of bag styles as well) and the details on the shoes put them on the top of my spring shopping list.

Her collection is available online at Shopbop, Nordstrom + Bloomingdales and select stores around the United States.

The Kendra Scott Jewelry Tour Hits Santana Row

KatWalkSF 10 Comments

KatWalkSF - Santana Row

The Kendra Scott team packed up a KILLER airstream trailer + hit the road this spring. They kicked off the tour at SXSW in Austin and wrapped it up on Santana Row in Silicon Valley.

The airstream was filled with Kendra’s classic pieces (natural stones and custom designed shapes), as well as her new collection. I was really impressed by where the collection is going, the quality of her products and the price point.

I came home with this hand chain thanks to the Kendra Scott team and am dying to snag this ring.

KatWalkSF - Santana RowMy thoughts on traveling from San Francisco to Santana Row – all in my face!

But…

The Cal Train/Uber combination made getting my butt from the city to Silicon Valley relatively easy!

Shellys London - Fiona Suede PlatformI know this post is supposed to be about Kendra Scott, but I need to take a minute to talk about shoes + food!

These shoes arrived in the mail a couple of days ago from Shellys London.

I had eh…never heard of the brand before, but was thrilled with the style + quality of the shoes.

Check out more from the brand here.

Village California Bistro

We toured the airstream, we shopped and we ate!

 The tomato bruschetta from Village California Bistro + Wine Bar on Santana Row was killer.

However, the phyllo baked brie (not pictured – bloggers be hungry) was outstanding! If you bake brie in puff pastry you are guaranteed to have a good time.

Kendra Scott Hand Bracelet

Now back to the jewelry!

A hand chain from Kendra Scott added a little bling to pretty basic look.
