Two of my high school buddies came up to San Francisco from San Diego for the beginning of their spring break. 
We met up at Pier 39 for some shopping and ate at the Hard Rock Cafe. For the first time, we all had fruity cocktails like the women from Sex and the City typically do. We all had our fill of laughter and good food. We then headed towards Japantown, and shopped around some more, took pictures in the Japanese photo booths, and ended the day with crepes. Okay, maybe everyone didn’t eat a crepe, but I cannot resist sweets. Speaking of which, we passed by the Cako cupcake store while in Japantown. I like how every cupcake flavor was displayed. I had satisfied my sweet tooth with a crepe, so no cupcake for me this time around.
We ended our day together by stopping by my apartment. I gave a tour of my humble abode and we hung out on the roof my building and watched the sun set. We created new memories together, and it felt like we had just seen each other the other day. Those are the best types of friendships, because no matter how much time passes, or how far away we are, we can laugh together and be there for each other.
Friends, fashion, and cupcakes; It is always a good time when those three things are combined.

Ruffle Nylon Jacket, Black Pants, Bow Bracelets Forever 21 | Multi Color Striped Top Marc by Marc Jacobs (here) | Pink Suede Boots Steve Madden | Photos by Nicole S.While I live in in the Bay Area, I spend a weekend or two visiting my family home in the Central Coast. When I am in town, I like being able to meet up with friends I made back in high school to catch up on what we have been up to.

When meeting up with old friends,  it’s nice how time can fly by so quickly and feel like it’s stopped at the same time. Even if friends live far away and don’t get to talk as often as they did in high school, it’s nice to have the kind of friends that once you see again can fall back into the type of relationship you used to have, as if no time has passed since the last day you spoke. I am grateful for those friends and the memories we have made and will continue to make in the future.

My inspiration for today’s outfit was the 80s since the music I’ve been listening to has been from that decade. I found the colorful Marc by Marc Jacobs top at Crossroads Trading Co. and despite it being oversized, I love the colors and prints. I paired it with matching bow enamel bracelets I picked up at Forever 21. The bow details are especially cute and they are similar to ones by Kate Spade. The pink suede boots I picked out for today’s look were from Macy’s and were also on sale. This Steve Madden boot has sold out in stores and online, but I’ve linked a similar statement-making boot below.

Navy Sweater Button Down Top Forever 21 | White Denim Jeans Vanilla Star | Gold Metallic Peep-Toe Flats Christian Louboutin (here) | Graffiti Print Bag Coach PoppyFinally a post with my go-to bag! It’s a Coach bag from the Poppy collection. I use it all the time because I feel it goes with everything.

Today’s outfit has a nautical/ prep vibe going on especially because of the cardigan and button down shirt set. I went to brunch with my sweet boyfriend, and we tried a new diner on College Ave and Claremont called Claremont Diner. The food was pretty tasty and I ordered the french toast.

I lucked out with today’s weather. It had been raining, so I wasn’t sure I would be able to wear these white jeans. For me, white is kind of hard to wear, but I really like these jeans Even though I have a curvier bottom and style guides I reference recommend I avoid light colored pants, I feel these work for me because they are not too skinny and have a relaxed fit. While they currently have a preppy vibe, changing a few pieces could completely transform the look for the next time I go to brunch.
Shop the look below and let me know what you would wear to brunch!
