Flora Grubb Gardens San Francisco - Cheetah is the New Black

I made the trek out to Bayview last week to visit The RealReal warehouse (photos to come!) and while in the outer southeastern SF neighborhood my friend Natalie suggested I stop by Flora Grubb Gardens as she knew it would be right up my alley. And yes, she was totally right. This garden oasis with a hidden little cafe in the back that serves Ritual Coffee is basically my heaven. Dressed for my meeting (i.e.: in heels) and not necessarily in the mindset to buy, I was a happy camper just perusing until I discovered their DIY bar. Then I was in trouble. While this place is on the pricier side I’d say it’s definitely still worth checking out–if not for the greenery inspiration, then for a little city escape and a cup of caffeine.

I, of course, have to note my new Céline bag–which you may have already seen! I’ve been drooling over this leopard calf hair beauty since it’s debut back in 2013 and still can’t believe I was able to snag it and in pristine condition (with the tags on it!), on The RealReal recently. I’m such a fan of buying designer bags on consignment or used. I actually also bought my black luggage tote used from a mentor of mine, and I love that I think of her every time I use it.

I also have to note that Heidi Merrick makes my favorite harem pants yet! I actually have to safety pin a couple of my other pairs around the waist but these fit me perfectly. So while I know they’re not for everyone, if you’re a harem pant girl too… definitely check her out.
