7 Non-Touristy Things To Do In: San Francisco

It is no secret that I love to travel! Traveling is probably my favorite thing about living. When ever I am away, I like to immerse myself in the culture as much as possible, and the only way to do that is to step away from the "tourist traps." Now you obviously have to see the classic things in any city you go to, but when it comes to the rest of the days you spend in a place, try and experience the alternative!

The first place I want to write about is the incredible city of San Francisco, California. I've been going to SF all my life and have certainly found some amazing gems! Hope you enjoy!

1. Katana-Ya
By far my favorite ramen I have ever tried in San Francisco. Katana-Ya is authentic and extremely small. Make sure to get there early because the line can be crazy. But locals have nothing but amazing things to say about it.

2. Four Barrel Coffee
In the Mission neighborhood of SF is the incredible Four Barrel Coffee. Came here for the first time on my last trip and fell in love. The coffee is incredible (they roast all of the beans in house) and the staff is so friendly and willing to help.

3. Wasteland
If you love boutique style shopping and fun original pieces, then Wasteland is definitely the place for you. Endless racks of cool vintages pieces and independent fashion labels fill the store. You can also resell your used clothes there as well.

4. Plow
Probably one of the cutest brunch places in San Francisco. Everybody rants and raves about their amazing pancakes and eggs. It is decorated so rustic and fresh at the same time. It's a must try for breakfast and brunch people.

5. Outerlands
Another amazing breakfast place, Outerlands is rustic and so cozy. The entire restaurant is made out of distressed wood. It's so beautiful and they have the cutest chalkboard drinks menu.

6. Park Life
Park Life is such an amazing independent shop. They have beautiful graphic t-shirts, rad art and design books. It's one of those really fun nicknack shops.

7. Blue Bottle Coffee
This is my favorite Blue Bottle location because it's in the Ferry Building. The Ferry Building has an amazing vibe. Blue Bottle makes incredible lattes.

Hope you guys enjoyed this travel blog post!

5 Albums To Buy Right Now

It's no surprise that I love music dearly. I often get into obsessive relationships with albums and listen to them nonstop. These are the albums that I've had on repeat. I recommend you buy them too, because you will get addicted!

Turn Blue
The Black Keys

This is the 8th studio album for one of my favorite bands of all time, The Black Keys. They have such a classic sound but are so inventive and fresh. You will not regret buying this album, it's pure gold.

Trxye
Troye Sivan

I just love Troye Sivan! I discovered him a couple of years ago on YouTube and have been obsessed with his videos since then. His album literally came out today! It's wonderful and he is absolutely adorable.

The Looking Away
Animal Kingdom

I was in love with this album when it came out in 2012 and have recently rediscovered it in my iTunes library. Now i remember why I loved it so much in the first place. It's so stunning and perfect for chill out days.

An Awesome Wave
Alt-J

This album also came out in 2012. I haven't stopped listening to it since then. Alt-J is so unique and have the most incredible sound.Their music will put you in a trance. I can't wait for their new album to come out this year!

Language & Perspective
Bad Suns

This is Bad Suns first album and has become really popular in the Indie Alternative music community. You can clearly hear their influence of California and the 70's and 80's. I'm obsessed with their sound!

Best Dressed at Teen Choice Awards 2014

The Teen Choice Awards are one of the funnest award shows out there for young Hollywood. It's a chance to take risks, wear bright colors and try out fun prints. Although a really large guest list, I found it somewhat hard to find my best dressed because some people looked down right crazy. Despite that, the women that I chose looked lovely and stood out in the best way possible. P.S. All of these women definitely got the crop trop memo.

Street Style

Street Style.
Definition: any offbeat or avant-garde fashion inspired by contemporary culture of urban street people.


One of my favorite aspects of fashion is Street Style. It is the most fearless and interesting fashion shown on the most unique people. "Street Style" is predominately in large cities such as New York, London or Los Angeles, where people have their fingers on the pulse of fashion. Street Style regulars range from fashion bloggers, models, editors and designers. Followers do not want to fit in to a crowd, the more individual and fashionable they look, the better. I wish that I was as fearless and fashionable as they are. Here are a few of my favorite Street Style looks.
