Farewell Lovely Ladies

Last night I had the pleasure of spending a night out with the girls limo style. We rented a limo and spend it driving around San Francisco and going out for dinner. Our first stop was in North Beach at an Italian restaurant, Bocce Cafe. It was fun hanging out with the girls because the night was also our  farewell before we all return home soon, well except for Tais.

We stopped at the Palace of the Fine Arts, Lombard Street, Pier 39 and the Golden Gate Bridge, unfortunately it was really cold and foggy, what you would expect in San Francisco. On the way back we went tho Berkeley to check out all the frat parties, but we weren't  "cool" enough to get in even rocking up in a limo. It was a great night where we ended it by going to Lake Merritt for some pictures.

The dress I'm wearing is from New York and Company, I got it at such a bargain for $6

Cape Town Love

Sunday I was walking around Berkeley and popped into Urban Outfitters where I can across a book called, Lonely Planet The Cities Book. It gives you an insight into the best cities around the world, from images, worst and best about the cities and best places to see there.

I was browsing through the book and there it was, my city, Cape Town ranked # 9. I was so proud because the book shows 100s of cities around the world with Paris being # 1 and New York # 2, so for Cape Town to be # 9 that is amazing.

 Here are some images from the book, take a look at the website too.

VARSITY BLUES

American and European schools are starting their new school year,  these varsity jackets from H&M puts me in the back to school mood. I love it because it can easily be worn with a pair of jeans and a pair of heels or very casually with some converse or even with a maxi skirt.

Passing Time

Hope you all had a great weekend, mine was spend mostly sightseeinging San Francisco seeing that I hardly have time left. Time just seems to pass by so fast and I can't believe I only has six more weekends left in the USA before I return to South Africa. Here are some of the picture from the weekend.

From San Francisco with love...

As I'm currently working on a scrapbook, I can't help but get emotional when I look at some of the pictures, especially the ones of San Francisco. I love the city, people, landscape, culture and the fun things to do here. I spend so much time  exploring, shopping and just enjoying what the city has to offer. There is something of everything from all the the great shopping hotpots to some of the best museums and restaurants.

As the time is drawing nearer for me to leave, I know I will miss spending time in the city. It holds a special place in my heart and I know I will definitely come back.

4 days and 3 States later...

A few days ago I went on a four day bus trip travelling through California, Nevada and Arizona with two other girls. We had stops at Yosemite National Park, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon and the Hoover Dam. I think out of the whole trip the one place I was most excited about visiting, was  Las Vegas.

Of course it's the city that never sleeps. We spend two days there, at the Excalibur hotel on the  Las Vegas strip. The city is like no other, I had no  sleep at all for the two days. 

There was so much to see, from an Eifel Tower, a Statue of Liberty, a little piece of Venice, the Fountains at the Ballegio and so much more. The city comes to life at night, the lights, the people, all famous hotels, all the attractions and shows. It was a great trip, thanx guys!!!

Freshly Ground in San Francisco

Last night South African band Freshly Ground performed in San Francisco. It was a full house with mostly South Africans in the audience, I think because everybody was singing along to the music.

 The band was great, they had the audience to their feet dancing to their beats. I had a great time listening and dancing to the music and being surrounded by fellow South Africans too. 

By the end of the night they ended of with the world cup song which was a perfect end to a great night.

Happy 4th of July!!!

Happy 4th of July!!! I managed to go a to parade yesterday and watch how Americans celebrate their Independence day. It was fun to see how people get involve and just come together and celebrate. Which was no surprise to me at all because one thing I've learned since living in the USA, holidays are taken seriously!!! And of course a reason to party!!!
