Live From San Francisco, It's My Love/Hate Relationship with Fashion!

Dolls! This week I will blogging to you from lovely San Francisco, California! Follow me as I check out the local fashions, give tips on what to do when you've forgotten your entire makeup bag back home in Boston, sample authentic Californian cuisine, and resist the urge to move here permanently!

Yesterday evening I had the pleasure of visiting the first - and only - brick-and-mortar Timbuk2 boutique, where I was able to pore through swatches of ballistic nylon fabrics in a rainbow of colors while trying to come up with a good enough reason to buy another Timbuk2 messenger bag (your suggestions are welcome).

Afterwards, it was off to Citizen Cake for me and my friends Chrissy and Yuko, where we drank wine, ate duck, and caught up on what's been happening lately in each of our lives. It was fantastic.

Quick tourist tip: If you are like me, that is, particular about eyeliners but prone to forgetting the essentials when traveling (who needs things like underwear anyway?), I suggest Neutrogena's Nourishing liner (I bought Spiced Chocolate, a rich shade of dark brown). It's very similar to the Clinique Quickliner I usually use; it has a built-in smudger to blend the color, but only cost about $7.00 at Walgreens. Crisis averted. Oh, and a note to the FTC: I was not paid to say this. (More on that some other time.)
