weekend morning in Nob Hill

One of the best things I 'd love to do in the morning is having a cup of coffee,( um, maybe with maple syrup bacon donut), also sitting in this cafe @ Larkin street and watch well dressed San Franciscan ready for the weekend.

girls in San Francisco

I've met many amazing girls who came from different places to SF for studying art . They are not only great artists also lovable person in life; I like their art, also their personal styles outside the studio, without the brushes and aprons.

In San Francisco

I have some favorite fashion websites that I check on everyday. There are the famous street style snapshot blogs, such as the Sartorialist, Stylesightings and  Street Peeper. To me they are not only the great references of fashion illustration, also show me many different faces of  beautiful cities around the world.

I've been living in San Francisco for 11 years,  this amazing city inspires me everyday. I always find interesting people on the street of the city, they are unique and beautiful in a the way that no where else can compare. Trying to save the moment with pen and paper is enjoyable :)
