Niners Style

Me and football have a bit of a rocky relationship. This time of year, I lose my fiance to the television. Football seems to be a constant presence on the weekends... at a ear-ringing volume. The only good thing about it is there are sometimes donairs, pizza, and party mix involved.

R's favorite team is the 49ers. We spent much of our time in San Francisco last year browsing various sports stores. Seriously, how can he ever complain I take too long shopping when it takes him about an hour to choose between three basic t-shirts? I could try on half of the Zara store in that time.

Niners Style by jennifer-merlin featuring People Tree

Rag & Bone red sweat shirt, $135 / J Brand super skinny jeans, $190 / adidas sneaker wedge shoes / Tory Burch black shawl / Michael Kors rock n roll jewelry / People Tree glove / Bonne Bell lip gloss

I couldn't resist the penguin mittens. They have nothing to do with the theme... they were just darn cute.

I'm linked with longdistanceloving today for a (you guessed it!) football post. Click below to check out the other bloggers' tailgate party looks.

Happy Weekend!

Novel-Tea: Part 15

Happy Hump Day!

Isn't November a fabulous month for reading? Holiday season isn't quite upon us yet, and it's too cold to be doing a whole lot outdoors -the perfect opportunity to curl up on the couch with a good book. Keep reading to find out one of my recent favorites!


I get a lot of my outfit inspiration from other bloggers. I really love the look of a blazer and a white shirt, but it's not the kind of thing I often feel like wearing. The occasions when I do should be immortalized in a photo.

Details:

Blazer- Ann Taylor (Wrenthem)

Shirt: Smart Set (Toronto)

Jeans: 7 For All Mankind (Century 21 kids section, NYC)

Necklace: Joe Fresh (Halifax)

Bracelet: Suzy Shier (Truro)

Watch: Guess (Vancouver)

Shoes: DV Dolce Vita (Macy's, San Francisco)

When I was in San Francisco I had a fantasy of buying Frye boots, but I didn't see a pair I fell in love with. These shoes were love at first sight! I really wanted a cap toe flat and I like the stud detail.


Vanilla Orchid is a recent release from DAVIDsTEA, and I love how delicate the flavour is. It's a sweet oolong and a pleasant break from the in-your-face tastes I usually go for.


I enjoyed reading Where We Belong while sipping on my Vanilla Orchid. I always look forward to a new read by Emily Giffin. She's the author that (in my dreams) I'd love to be compared to someday. Her books flow so well, and while the endings are expected, the journey there is always a surprise.

Where We Belong is a story told from the perspective of two people- a woman who chose to give her child for adoption and the eighteen year old daughter who finds her biological mom.




Have you read anything fantastic lately? Keep the recommendations coming!

Fernet About It

How sad... my last post of my recent San Francisco holiday. I know we'll return - one of my favorite friends lives there, and R is crazy for the local sports scene.

I logged a crazy amount of shopping time in the city, and I highly recommend staying in Union Square for its proximity to the shops.

Here's a comfy outfit that got me through an entire day of shopping (and a raging hangover courtesy of Declan and his Fernets).

Details

Shirt: American Eagle Outfitters Outlet (Kittery)

Jeans: Joe Fresh (Halifax)

Boots: Call it Spring (Halifax)

Scarf: American Apparel (Halifax)

Watch: Guess (Vancouver)

Earrings: Le Chateau (Halifax)

Our Hotel - Grand Hyatt

Embarcadero. Close to the Ferry Building

Alcatraz Tour

Golden Gate

Gotta love Macy's



Fernet- the unofficial drink of San Fran. Enjoyed a few at Vesuvio's.

Cable Car

Say "San Francisco" and the image that appears in the heads of many people is the iconic mode of transportation - the cable car.

When the driver shouted out, "It's not like the movies people - this thing doesn't ride smoothly," he was accurate. It lurches and jolts and careens around corners with the elegance of a rolling rhinoceros. White knuckle ride indeed, especially when you're hanging off the side (you knew I would).

Details:

Tunic: Dynamite (Halifax)

Leggings: Urban Behaviour (Dartmouth)

Circle Scarf: American Apparel (Halifax)

Boots: Call it Spring (Halifax)

Sunnies: Coach (South Portland)

Bag: Coach (Toronto)

Watch: Guess (Vancouver)

Thanks Target, for opening the day before we arrived.

At six bucks a ride and full of tourists, I doubt many locals use them to get around. It was a great experience and more like a theme park ride than I expected!

Table for Ten?

How hard is it to get a table for ten on a Friday night in a busy city?

Try almost impossible.

Here's the first of my San Francisco outfit posts!

 

Details:

Dress: Forever 21 (Las Vegas)

Shoes: Le Chateau (Halifax)

Belt: Dynamite (Halifax)

Jacket: Danier (Halifax)

Earrings: Gap (Las Vegas)

Bracelets: Forever 21 (San Francisco)

 

 

Thanks to our amazing concierge, we finally landed a spot at Sears Fine Foods (started in 1938), where I had an excellent California Club sandwich (the California addition was avocado).

 

 

 

A big congrats is going out to longdistanceloving for her 100th Friday's Fancies link-up. I hope my casual party attire is appropriate for the big celebration! I've "met" a lot of amazing bloggers from being involved in the link-ups.

 

XOXO
