Memorial Day Weekend

photo-1

Thank goodness San Francisco is a foodie town, with new restaurants opening up weekly, there is always a new place to visit and discover.

Besides spending part of my Memorial Day weekend with my boyfriend, Mark.  I became obsessed with sandwiches from 4505 Burgers & BBQ, Iron Side and  Bun Mee.

I was starving when I was at 4505 and forgot to take a picture of my burger, and the same thing happened when Mark took me to dinner  and we ordered the Po’boy fried shrimp sandwich at Iron Side. Both places served  soul-food cuisine, and everything was free-ranged or farm-to-table.

photo-3Since I found myself alone part of the three-day weekend I finally took myself out to Bun Mee, a Vietnamese Sandwich shop, and because of the three-day weekend it wasn’t packed.

I ordered the steak sandwich and sweet potatoe fries. I loved it!

Afterwards I took myself to see Neighbors with Seth Rogen and Zac Efron.  A very funny movie that also featured Dave Franco.

So, what did you guys do?

Lady in Red – Kate Winslet

photoI love, love Kate Winslet, always have. Doesn’t she look stunning gracing the cover of June/July’s Harper’s Bazaar?

Her makeup is impeccable and I searched for the makeup credits but couldn’t find them.  I would love to know which shade of crimson she’s wearing.

Red Lipstick To Consider – Hollywood by Laura Mercier

Zoe Saldana is a fan of our favorite hue and loves Hollywood by Laura Mercier: This is something we’re going to have to check out.

*Her biggest splurge: “Red lipstick! I’m picky—my lips aren’t that big, but they aren’t thin, either. When I wear red lipstick, I don’t like [anything] that dries or chaps your lips.” – Zoe Saldana via Style.com

Finding inspiration is endless when you’re surfing the net and visiting all of your favorite blogs.

I just found this via style.com, in their Beauty Essentials with Rita Ora:

“I’m always, always applying [red lipstick]. There’s this thing you can buy, actually, it’s like a see-through [top coat] you put on your lips, which stings for about a second, but it keeps the lipstick on without any smudging.” – Rita Ora, via Style.com

I have on my wish-list a pair of New Balance sneakers….but have been debating about the color combination.

However I stick to black, grey and white too and love this blog by Harper&Harley.com

Inspiration Boards

photoI don’t have a mood board that helps me create, but I do have an inspiration board that inspires my choice of clothing every morning.

Do I look just like these women? No, but I try and find inspiration from every single one of them.

What item do you pick out first in the morning? I used to pick out my handbag first, but now I pick out my cardigan and everything else falls into place.

New Fashion Blog – Emerson Fry

I love discovering new blogs, especially those that share in the daily grind of life.

Emerson Fry herself isn’t just chic, but she designs her own clothes, just wish she had a shop in San Francisco,  I hate ordering shoes and sweaters online without trying them on.

However her clothes are affordable, maybe Barneys will carry her collections soon?

Friday Night’s – Fillmore Street

My Friday evenings are usually spent going to dinner and a movie. This Friday my sister Rosemary and I went to one of our favorite restaurants on Fillmore Street, Roam.

We love Roam because everything is either farm-to-table or organic, plus the meats are free-ranged.

Since I’ve been watching what I eat, I’ve been opting for the lettuce wrapped turkey burger, but this time changed it up by adding the gluten free bun.

Instead of the usual sweet potatoe fries, we added the grilled asparagus. Dinner was yummy and I think I finally adapted my taste buds to gluten free bread.

photo1Our movie of choice was Godzilla, playing at the Kabuki theater.  We love the assigned seating and the fact that it’s walking distance from home.

Everyone in the audience was enraptured with the fight scene taking place in China Town, I think they even might have destroyed  a little part of North Beach.

What are your Friday Night’s like?
