One Fun Day at Beautiful North Beach

Living in the beautiful city of San Francisco, I try to go out at least twice a week. Either having a photo shoot or hanging out with friends, especially for happy hour ( You know who you are. I won't drop any names, BBs! ). It doesn't really matter where I go, this city always gives me a reason to smile. Whether I’m alone or with loved ones.

Two weeks ago my best friend, who lives in New York, came into town and I got to show her around. We went to North Beach for a photo shoot and had the chance to stop into some of the memorable places, like the oldest bar in the West Coast, Sotto Mare Oysteria and seafood  (one of my favorite restaurants),  and a few awesome record stores.

The photographer who did the shoot was Francisco Puentes, He’s absolutely amazing.. It was so much fun to shoot with him! He has ideas that are so refreshing and unique. I totally recommended working with him and can’t wait for the next shoot!

The weather was really on our side. Sunny with clear sky. It's quite warm ..but still has the cool SF vibe. Perfect for my Zara oversized ribbed sweater in cream I matched with a Babaton skirt from Aritzia. I’ve always been BIG on oversized sweaters and ribbed skirts. They just feel comfortable, chic, cool and soft... hahaha! You know what I mean? Oh, The sock booties are from Zara! They are sooo chic and comfy. Easy way to get  2" taller in 2 seconds. I love the gray glitter one I got! I paired with my Dior bag and Chanel 70's style big shades.

We took a little break around 2:00 and went to a cute organic coffee shop called ‘Réveille’. Of course I got a matcha latte… my favorite! After enjoying that I changed into my second outfit, my all time favorite Fenty x Puma black and white ribbed dress. This outfit was perfect since the weather was warming up, plus I get to show off my yoga body ;)

For the beauty tips, I went for the natural look with Chanel Sublimage Le Teint cream foundation with a touch of  Joues Contraste blush (Rose Bronze), then finished up with Rouge Matte Ink (Lost). I always use nourishing lip care (Chanel: Hydra Beauty) under all my lipstick. Hydration plus the lipstick makes it last longer and keeps it looking fresh.
