The other day I spent a really nice afternoon exploring a bit of San Francisco (I guess they're calling it Nopa these days?)

I have to be honest, I haven't really done too much of this since I've been here and I really lucked out with a sunny and clear afternoon - it was just WINDY! We went to a pretty shop (that I'll post about later tonight) and then found our way to this crazy little dog park and then whaddya know - the Painted Ladies! Yessss Full House dreams coming into reality!!

Here are two little photos from our park adventures.. Sadly, no tourist pics in front of the painted ladies - we tried ... but the sun wasn't co-operating!

    I LOVE that blouse, it is so amazing! I adore San Francisco, especially Alamo Square. My husband and I spent our honeymoon in the Chateau Tivoli there... it was wonderful.

    Alamo Square Park? It's a great place for photos. I'm just up the hill aways on Fulton. Have fun exploring!

    I live a block away from where that photo was taken! Everyone who comes to visit me gets to go admire the Full House houses and the lovely view from the top of the park.

    If you didn't go already, you should visit The Other Shop, on Divisadero. It's one of my favorite vintage housewares shops in the city. They have clothes, too.

    I absolutely love what you're wearing. Where did you find those pieces? Pinafore style dresses are so fantastic for Autumn - and that blouse - perfect together!

    Yay, I'm glad you are exploring/liking the city :) I always accidentally stumble upon the Painted Ladies too every time I desperately try to find parking somewhere for something on Divisadero.

    Oh, and that ruffle-front-bid on your blouse is too too cute.
