sunday strolls

It was freezing today by SF standards.  48 degrees!  B and I decided to take a sunday stroll so we walked 7.73 miles today.  We walked from his apartment to the Marina and back, stopping for shopping at Lululemon (B bought lounge pants that are actually long enough for his gangly manly legs), Urban Outfitters (still going with the 30% off sales!) and dinner at Umami Burger.  I’ve been dying to try this place ever since they opened up here in SF (there is one in LA too I think).  Look at the brown sugar on the sweet potato fries!!!

B and I had fun playing with new found features on my camera while we waited for food.

It was sooo cold.  I’m glad I got to put the spoils of my last shopping trip to good use.

Erika S. outfits

Crowns, crumpets and Jason.

One thing I dislike about being a responsible adult is scheduling.  It evolved slowly.  double bookings here and there, missed deadlines occasionally.  Then it started snowballing and I realized I had to start scheduling everything.  What’s even harder than maintaining my own schedule is trying to match it with two other schedules, Devon’s and Marisa’s.  We manage to do it though, averaging one chick date a month.

This month, our chick date was for afternoon tea at Crown and Crumpet. Super cute, super girlie and just the thing to revive me from last night’s Glass Candy show.  Tea, scones, crumpets, and sandwiches with no crusts really does wonders.  We got temporary tattoos with our tea.  =)

I lucked out and scored a Jason Wu for Target dress last week.  It must have been a return because the day it debuted, both SF area Targets sold out.  I saw it randomly when I stopped in for nail polish and promptly snatched it up.  This also meant I had to give myself a matching manicure.  The pink dress was perfect for tea and a sunny brisk SF day.

the chicks, Devon and Marisa.

the perfect bio teacher dress

I snagged this dress from Anthropologie a year and a half ago.  It is my favorite teacher’s dress, especially for a Bio teacher.  After all, there are animals on it!  It’s perfect: warm, soft, comfy and cute.

pockets!!  An essential for the classroom.  Stash keys, stamps, pencils, paperclips and confiscated cell phones.


Bambis!

See how other bloggers wear this dress here, here and here.  That first link, Complex Cardigans? written by a high school math teacher.  I like.

I really wish Anthro would come out with another perfectly cut shirtdress like this one, the Southward Stop Dress.  Shirt dresses make mornings so much easier and faster.

Erika S. outfits, parties

The Maritol

The Maritol, China Basin, San Francisco

I’m on a Boat!  More than a few years ago, I visited the Maritol for the first time. At the time, there was one dude living on the ship and it wasn’t very decked out.  Since then, the Maritol has changed pretty dramatically, with a hot tub addition and a warmer atmosphere.   I was lucky enough to visit the ship a second time around last week when B and I were invited to a Boat! party.

An invitation to a boat party to me is just another excuse for nautical stuff.  I think B had the same thought because when we met up to go to the party, we were both wearing blue stripes.  He’s such a biter.

Narwhals are so magical!  I picked up this Narwhal necklace at the Renegade Craft Fair this past December from the Unicorn Crafts Booth.

I’m not going to lie, the whole evening on the boat this video was playing through my head.
