Dog days of summer

What a nice way to end the day. I left the sidewalk sale, picked up Buddha and we headed over to the Humane Society's Canine and Cocktails event. We both got to unwind and make new friends, while enjoying a cold beverage.

It was another busy day at the sidewalk sale. We're slashing prices, so check in!

Sidewalk Sale

Hot deals and hot weather. Why does it always seem to be 90 degrees during the sidewalk sale? Well- day one was a huge success. We had some great bargains and the shoppers were out. Check out Cassidy and Lisa, peddling the sale table.

Saja

We got in a new line this week called Saja. The pieces have some sweet details, for example, the dress on the left has a row of mini pom poms on the hem line. It reminds me of when I took tap dance lessons, as a little girl.

We've been bombarded with merchandise since I returned from vacation and tomorrow is the beginning of the sidewalk sale. Get ready for the madness!

End of the Road

We made it to San Francisco! What a lovely city but they have way too many chain stores. We did make it over to Union Street, where we found some cute boutiques. A lot of the stores seemed over done and packed with merchandise. It may be because of the high rent. I can't wait to go back and I now understand why Frank said that he left his heart in San Francisco.

Route 1

Route 1 has the most amazing scenery and the most terrify driving terrain I have ever seen. Everyone should drive it at least once. We made some cool pit stops along the way; saw elephant seals, an 80 foot waterfall and some really scary cliffs.

Santa Barbara

There was some amazing little shops here but this wasn't one of them. I couldn't believe how long it was and how it was packed full of little sparkle trinkets. Imagine restocking this place! Some of the stores that I liked were; Blue Bee, a multi store collection that covered all possible fashion needs and LF, where I scored some really high waisted jeans by Era of Chaos.

Our Rental Car

San Diego Zoo

Marisa- what are you doing?! Just kidding- I miss you guys! We went to the San Diego zoo today- not the fashion capital of the west coast but extremely interesting. This character wasn't very shy about his hygiene or eating habits. Still, I would consider him for an entry level position.

California

We made it! We're on our first vacation in 2 years and it feels good. I've never had a chance to see California- San Diego rocks! Look at the size of the palm trees- it makes Florida trees look wimpy. The weather is overcast in the morning and lifts by mid-day. Bruce and Joyce are getting married tomorrow.

Inner Child

We got in some really unusual hoodies from Inner Child. I guess the designer use to design/work for Anthropology. The patterns are amazing and there's a variety of appliques. The one pictured here, has a butterfly patch and retails for $78. They're sized x-small through large and are runninng true to size.
