When: Sunday, July 25th, 2010

Where: Norwalk, CT

What: Hat (Esprit), dress (Forever 21), shoes ($30 Steve Madden via Loehmann’s), handbag ($50 Cole Haan), necklace (Brooklyn Flea)

This past weekend, my husband and I decided to make a quick jaunt to Connecticut.  I’ve driven through the state on numerous occasions on my way to other places, but this was my first real visit.

We had a great time checking out the aquarium, browsing shops in the historic district, and grabbing a nice, quite dinner at a little Italian restaurant before catching the train back to NYC.

Sometimes it’s nice to take a quick break from the city.

More San Francisco Pics + My New Fav Traveling Outfit

Hey Peeps!

The weather in San Francisco went from cool and crisp in the morning, to fairly warm in the afternoon, and downright chilly at night.  So I made sure to pack lots of jackets and a scarf. 

Below are some more pics of the outfits I wore while on vacation.

Me on Haight Street where they had some serious vintage shopping!

At the airport… Bon Voyage!

I’ve also decided that this is my favorite traveling outfit for warmer weather.  I wore this outfit to SFO  and liked it so much that I wore it on the way back too!  The temperature was 60 degrees in SF and about 103 degrees in NYC (eek!), and this maxi dress worked well in both weather conditions.  Even better, it was extremely comfy to wear on the plane but still looked put together.

What do you like to wear when you travel?

Doin’ It Up In Cali

My husband and I decided to take advantage of our jetlag during our second day in San Francisco.  We woke up bright and early, rented bikes near Fisherman’s Wharf and set off for a ride across the Golden Gate Bridge into Sausalito.

Since we were gearing up for a more “rugged” excursion (for me at least), I decided to wear jeans and sneakers instead of my usual dress/sandal summer combo.  I’ll admit, I felt weird at first.  I’m actually way more comfortable in a halter dress and platforms, but when in Rome…

Here’s me doing the touristy thing and riding the famous cable cars:

Just after the last big hill (or so I thought) before crossing the bridge:

Finally made it to Sausalito, and I was just about pooped out:

All in all, we had an excellent time. 

Especially after I stuffed my face with crab legs and mimosas…
