Earlier post
Went to H&M and bought a hot pair of leather skinny's. I'll post pictures as soon as I take them, but the weather in SF has been too hot to even put back on after trying on. They'll be my favorite Fall/Winter addition.

Patiently awaiting, September 13th
Hilary Rhoda, Selita Ebanks, Elizabeth Olsen, and many more celebs came out to check out the new Missoni for Target line, last night in New York. I have been in love with Missoni for years, and am actually quite impressed with what they've come up with for Target. Affordable fabulousness? Ummm YES PLEASE! The line drops September 13th at a Target near you...I know what I'll be doing next Tuesday! :)
It's FNO!
Fashion's Night Out may have been birthed in New York, but you can celebrate it in San Francisco! I recommend stores such as:
*Banana Republic (flagship store)
*Cole Haan
*Fashionphile
*Gucci
*Macys (union square)
*Marc Jacobs
*Neimans
*Saks
*Westfield shoppping center
and, personally, I can't WAIT to check out the new expanded Bottega Veneta who will be debuting their first womens fragrance which won't be out until September 15th...they'll also be having complimentary cocktails so there's no way you won't enjoy this event!
Shop til you drop and support our love for fashion!

Escaping
Currently, I'm in Tahoe Donner...relaxing, decompressing, and concentrating on myself...work has penetrated my escape from the city a bit, but all in all, I feel absolutely rejuvenated. I woke up early this morning and took my dogs for a hike, and then headed to the lake to soak up some rays...which didn't end so well, because now I am soaking in aloe vera gel. Lol.
Finally had time to catch up with my September issues...
Tahoe Donner is so beautiful, any time of year.
This is me, off duty. No pants, and a Michael Jordan basketball jersey...don't judge me, I'm on vacation.
Be back tomorrow!!!!

This earring. AMAZING.
Save me, San Francisco
Heard this song on the radio for the first time today, and it really struck a cord with me...not because it had anything to do with San Francisco, but because the lyrics ironically; hit home. Check out the song.
I used to love the tenderloin
until I made some tender coin
and then I met some ladies from Marin
We Took the Highway to the one,
up the coast to catch some sun
that left me with these blisters on my skin
don’t know what I was on,
but I think it grows in Oregon,
so I kept on goin going on right through
I drove into Seattle Rain
fell in love then missed the train
that could have took me right back home to you
CHORUS:
I've been high, I've been low, I've been yes and I've been oh hell no!
I've been rock ‘n roll and disco,
won’t you save me san francisco?
Every day so caffienated
I wish they were Golden Gated
Fillmore couldn’t feel more miles away
So wrap me up return to sender
lets forget this five year bender
Take me to my city by the bay!
I never knew all that i had,
now Alcatraz don’t sound so bad
at least they have a hella fine below (?)
If I could wish upon a star
I would hitch a cable car
to the place that I can always call my own!
I've been high I've been low,
I've been yes and I've been oh, hell no!
I been rock ‘n roll and disco,
won’t you save me San Francisco?
I've been up, I've been down,
I've been so damn lost since you’re not around,
I been reggae and calypso
won’t you save me San Francisco?
To tell you the truth
I miss everything, everything
It’s a wild, wild beautiful world
but there’s a wide eyed girl back there
and she means everything, everything,
I've been stop
I've been go
I've been yes and I've been oh, hell no!
I've been rock and roll and disco,
won’t you save me San Francisco?
I've been up,I've been down,
I've been so damn lost
since you’re not around,

Another Abbey Post
They sure don't make 'em like they used to
A great example of how quality sure has dwindled over the last few decades. Here we have a gorgeous NYC train from the 1920's.
"As part of the “Compliments of Nucky” campaign promoting the September 25 return of period drama Boardwalk Empire, HBO is putting a vintage 1920s train back on the track on New York's 2 / 3 line."
To me, these trains were classic and beautiful...wish they still looked like this.
