Apologies for the radio silence recently- a lot has happened in the past 4 weeks.

If you’ve been following along on Instagram, you may have noticed the recent edit to my bio [nothing gets past you all] or perhaps, more blatant, the recent change in scenery. Yes. It is officially official. I am a West Coaster- a California girl to be exact. I know- how could I leave New York? Trust me, I had my fair share of qualms too. But truthfully, I was excited for a new adventure.

Since we’ve last spoken, I’ve moved across the country into a brand new [and my first ever] apartment in San Francisco- in the bustling downtown of SoMa to be exact, and I’ve started a brand spanking new job [aka my first full-time position]- as an associate product marketing manager at YouTube [#blessed].

The transition from college to a 9-to-5 as well as from the East Coast to the West Coast was enough to get me thinking a lot about this corner of the Internet that I’ve carved out, and what I want it to look like moving forward, in this new chapter. I’m still working out the exact nuts and bolts, but I will be bringing you guys with me!

And so, it only felt fitting to have my inaugural post from SF at the Golden Gate bridge. After all, the bridge was central to what I imagined of SF before I got here [well, that and Full House].

I’m excited to see where this new path leads me, and, of course, the places I will go.

a whole day affair

So, I’ll continue to write my dreams and work towards them. And who knows, maybe someday, I’ll be writing another post, still in SF, long past the end of this rotation.

great finds @ goodwill

When my friends at SF Goodwill reached out to me, I was a little pressed for time. Turns out, Goodwill has an e-commerce store [did you know? I certainly didn’t. I swear it’s their best kept secret.] I found some fabulous pieces [c’mon how regal is that skirt], and I mixed and matched them with some of the pieces already in my wardrobe.

love is love

I don’t know if in the blogger book of rules I’m supposed to maintain my cool, but I’m going to have to break the rules for a hot second because 1) I couldn’t be happier to partner with one of my ALL TIME favorite brands and 2) for a cause that I hold dear to my heart.

1) The brand? Banana Republic

2) The cause? LGBTQ rights [even though I just really want to say love.]
