casual eats

I am lucky enough to be born and raised in San Francisco, one of the meccas in the foodie world. However, among the best of the best, are some of my favorite cheap eateries:

My favorite place for chicken wings- note that I don't even like chicken wings, so this is saying a lot. 

My go-to order: Dry Fried Chicken Wings, Shrimp and Leek Dumplings, Black Bean Noodles, Dry Fried Green Beans

Tip: They don't take reservations, but if you have at least 8 ppl, you can make a reservation for their private room in back.

Bullshead has been around for so long, my parents used to take me here in middle school! It is an old school mom-and-pop business with the best burgers- tasty and delicious! 

My go-to order: Bacon Cheeseburger

Tip: They offer Buffalo meat as an option!

I don't venture out too often to the Tenderloin, but whenever I happen to be anywhere near Saigon Sandwich, I have to make a stop...even if I've already eaten. ALL of their sandwiches are delicious...the vegetarian tofu and the roast pork sandwiches are my favs.

all about the basics

I wake up everyday fairly early, and leave myself very little time to figure out what I am going to wear that day. Since San Francisco weather is pretty consistent, it's easy for me to throw on some sort of variation of the below.

J.Crew Silk Blouse

Every season, J.Crew will have this blouse in various colors- I'm guilty of having at least 5 colors of this shirt. It's an easy go to shirt that just goes with everything! For Fall, I think I"m going to have to add this Cabernet color to my collection....

Gap 1969 Legging Jeans

I'm veritcally challenged (5'3), and these jeans in Petite are the perfect fit and length for me. It's also nice that these are available in tons of washes...including destructed (my second fav!). 

Classic Chanel Ballet Flats

These are my favorite shoes on the planet- they are simple, classic, and elegant. Oh, I also forget to mention COMFORTABLE! I can walk around all day in these puppies. They are also great because they can be dressy and casual.  

never fail glam.

A few of my personal favorite products that give me a no-fail,. flawless glam look. 

Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer

Prime, prime, prime. Sure, this is probably one of the pricier primers on the market, but it is worth every penny! It glides on smoothly and leaves a luxurious powder like finish.

Kat Von D Lockit Tattoo Foundation

A small dab of this full coverage foundation will give you a flawless face, without feeling like you have caked on makeup. 

NARS Semi Matte Lipstick- Fire Down Below 

The PERFECT red lipstick- it s deep blood red. 

Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Liner- Jet Black

This is by far THE best eyeliner I've used. I've never had a steady hand, and this format allows me to get a close, straight, jetblack cat-eye. It's also waterproof, and really does last all day. 

DiorShow New Look Mascara 

I have very fine and sparse eyelashes, so the smaller brush and defined bristles grab every one of my eyelashes, coating and extending them to their fullest.
