Afternoon Tea

This past weekend my went to afternoon tea with my college bestie Amy and her younger sister who was here visiting. Amy made reservations at Dartealing in SOMA in San Francisco. We had such a fabulous time and the tea house was too cute for words! The decor was girly without being too in-your-face and everything was super Instagram worthy! Take a look below for the adorable photos!

 

Pinkys out!!

 

We all loved how all of the china was mismatched, felt like you were just at a friend's house!

 

Being super arty with our photos

 

 We decided on the Taste-tea service for three, it was the perfect amount of food for lunch

 

We also  chose two teas, to be honest it was hard to decide, we finally selected the Jasmine & Jade and the Pinky Minky. They were both fantastic and complimented each other well!

 

The main event! I was so happy that I was able to see Becky! I first met her when she was only 6 and now she is all grown up and is so insightful and beautiful!

If you are ever in the city and wanting a fun girls afternoon definitely head here, if not for the tea then for the photos you will take!!

Make A WISH!

A night out on the town with AKA Blog

On Friday night we went out to celebrate our friend Amy's birthday! We were really excited to try out a new place, WISH, in SOMA (South of Market) in San Francisco.

While parking wasn't easy the night was a lot of fun! WISH is a great place to go for a few specialty cocktails. Everything was perfectly made, nothing too strong - but you knew that you were getting you money's worth. They had a fun DJ playing some more 'clubby' dance songs that were fun to jam to.

Our favorite drinks of the night - Little Italy and Ginger Mojito. They were both delish!!

Another great thing about the location is that there are a lot of other bars in the area so things stay open late. We ended up grabbing some late night snacks before heading back to Amy's place to watch some Ja'mie before falling asleep!

We both loved our outfits that night, but sadly didn't get any good quality pics of them - so look for some fun outfit posts soon!

If you live in the Bay Area - what are some of your favorite places to go out?

Fashion Fridays: PRIDE Style

This week/weekend SF is full of PRIDE!!

This year's logo and theme for SF PRIDE: Color Our World With Pride

Pride is all about being yourself and loving yourself. This is one of our favorite aspects of Pride. Pretty much anything goes and this is displayed most through personal style. 

For this Friday we wanted to feature some of our favorite Pride styles. 

Pride is where you can wear whatever you want or don't want.

NAKED: 

Many people at Pride decide to forego clothes all together, but that does not mean they do not display their unique personal style.

DRAG QUEEN: 

The always fabulous, always over the top characters you see in full make up, sequins and 6 inch heels walking all throughout the streets of SF. Something we've tried and failed at.  

COSTUMES: 

All the girls that wear tutus, suspenders and high socks + a water bottle filled with vodka. Obviously this is just one example. There is also lots of other looks that are super colorful, creative and fun. Again anything goes!

Some costume/character staples are the Pink man on a unicycle, Man covered in mirrors with platform shoes (the one that charges you for pictures), bondage/leather couple and many more. 

PERSONAL STYLE: 

Pride is a fashion show. If your not going the costume, or naked route then you come dressed in your newest, freshest fit. You wanna look like your not trying at all but everyone knows they better come ready!

Obviously there is a zillion more ways to present and dress. Whatever you wear just remember to have fun with it and to be comfortable and enjoy this amazing celebration.
