San Francisco Street Style – Bohemian

August 4, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Originally, I am from a small town in the central valley of California, yes I am a valley girl at heart. Living in said town, there was a very limited amount of, well, style. If you wore something a little out of the ordinary or too different, you would definitely hear about it. I have always been into fashion, so needless to say, I was looked at weird and even made fun of a tad too. Now, it is not the town’s fault, but I’m sure there are those out there that can sympathize with me who had similar situations growing up, there is just not much variety in some places. So, upon moving to various... [Read the full story]

Hayes Valley San Francisco Shopping District

Hayes Valley, in my opinion, is one of the most underrated neighborhoods in San Francisco. Over the last few years, this area has truly begun to thrive with delicious restaurants like Suppenküche (mmmm… giant beers and potato pancakes), Absinthe and Bar Jules.

When I first realized my interest in fashion, I was sitting in my high school Spanish class. A girl sitting a few seats next to me was wearing an outfit that struck me as particularly cute and from that I became more and more enamored with my outfits. Back then I had to have all the best name brands and wouldn’t be caught dead in anything less than that. Conforming, in a sense, was what was fashionable. Today, while I still revel in my favorite top designers, I pride myself in trying to find items that are unique, local and from the up-and-coming; accessories and clothes that only a few other...
