I was out of town for a few days on business. Fun business that involved a balloon welcome, but business nonetheless.
I had a few hours to wander around on Thursday, and again on Saturday. I felt the pull of San Francisco last time I was there, and of course this time around it was sunny and in the seventies. Sold. Plus, how could you not fall in love a little with a city that has such adorable public transportation?

You left just in time… it turned cold again (thank goodness)! But glad you had the warm weather while you were in town.
It is fun to read someone’s impression of your town… fun post.
And “affirmative” regarding the J. Crew pendants. They’re part of their new store package.

Lovely post, San Francisco looks great. Your “balloon welcome” is amazing!

Hey Nicole, off-topic question: Have you seen the Business Insider article that questions the legal risk of Pinterest? I myself think it is irrational and silly, but I know you are a pretty avid Pinterest user who seems knowledgeable about such things, or are at least in the circle of creative professionals who I’d consider knowledgeable about it. Maybe I’m showing my ignorance by even bringing it up (I found myself annoyed by the people freaking out, deleting their Pinterest accounts, and doing their part to spread the terror), but just curious if you had any thoughts about it.

I don’t think I’ve seen that particular article, but I’ve seen a whole slew of others. I can’t comment with any particular insight as to the legalities of Pinterest, but I will tell you that I’m still fine with them.

I’d absolutely love to go and see San Francisco. All the big cities of the US have such a magnetism that only London has here in the UK and the travel bug in me is excited.
Lovely pictures, that lamp is adorable!

I like your cute, pink suitcase. Who makes it? Thanks

It was from Isaac Mizrahi’s line for Target, years ago.

I think San Francisco is trying to tell you something……cooooommmmme to usssssssss!!!!!!
So fun hanging. I can’t promise we’ll always have Consolate-level dinners, but I know we’d have tons of fun!!
Still thinking about your adorable Kate Spade dressie. SO good on you!

Oh, I wouldn’t expect Consolate-level dinners every night. That’s more of a once a week thing, isn’t it?

I love SF and love that trolley photo :)
Do you have a source for that awesome lighting fixture on the bottom right?
Making it Lovely
Aren’t those lights amazing? I noticed them in J.Crew (Westfield, I think?), above the cash registers.

Next time you’re around these parts, I’d love to take you out on an eating date! xoxoxo
Making it Lovely

Beautiful pics! I’ve always wanted to go to SF but since I’m living in Europe, I haven’t had the opportunity so far. But is right up on my wish list! Cheers from Germany, Igor.

Ah, San Francisco. My favorite city. I grew up in the bay area ‘burbs, and my heart belongs in San Francisco. And to catch it when it’s sunny and warm! What a treat. So jealous!

San Francisco is one of the most wonderful and unique cities. I’m so glad we were able to give you such lovely weather while you were here!

San Francisco is always a fun city! Did you go to the Ferry Building?
Making it Lovely
Not this time around, but I did last time (and got the cutest cupcakes from Miette!).
Amber Wallace
What a lovely welcome! I’ve only been to San Francisco once and would love to go back and spend more time there. Looks like it was a fun trip!
alisa
Hey! I was in SF too (up from San Luis Obispo)! We went to Chinatown for dinner and then saw Mamma Mia… did some shopping and went to breakfast at La Boulange, of course. Hope you had fun and enjoyed our California weather!

We would surely welcome you to the West Coast if you ever decide to relocate!
