Fun in SF City + French Soul Food Restaurant!

Peilly and I stopped by LF store on Union St. yesterday. We think it is the best place to shop for trendy and hip stuff AND relatively cheaper deals. Although their price isn't as cheap as we expected, now they have everything 60% off, it is a great chance to hunt something before your mind is all set for fall. {You know, when my mood is not yet set for upcoming fall, I'd look everything in darker color just plain wired on me....but once I start shopping for fall, I couldn't wait to strut new stuff on the street.}

"State of mind" is interesting, isn't it!!

This gorgeous This and That mixed wool cropped cape/poncho is from Anthropologie.

We wait at least 1 and half hour there before we are being seated!!

Love the motif ceiling and rusty concrete wall mixed ambience.

This is one of their chocolate chips filled Beignet (doughnut).

We enjoy this hot and yummy chocolate beignet with kids whilst waiting for our table.

You don't know how hearty this Gumbo soup is until you try it yourself!!

Their Benedict is so smooth and creamy and the yolk won't stick all over your lips.

I bought a hair band at LF store ~~ to play with Russian or Baroque style!

Gray is a great color to transit my mood into fall!

Have fun packing up your spring wardrobe.

Make a Wish w/ Russia Babushka doll!!

My friend, Michelle asked me about my opinion of Chanel Babushka doll's necklace once and I said "Not worth getting it"!! Now I am not so sure if I would say the same thing to this adorable babushka doll clutch!! lol However, even I want to find it, this doll clutch is probably long gone by now!! I have a real Russia Babushka doll made in Russia which is a gift from 10 years ago! I couldn't find the same one in USA since this set of 15 nesting dolls are truly intricate!! This is the biggest one which has the most exquisite engraving. Total 15 of them! (2 are missing from the pic.) I heard that you can make a wish w/ these nesting dolls. If your wish comes true, you can open one until all 15 are all open!! I never made any wish w/ them, guess I was too realistic of a person myself. I don't know if each engraved temple/castle on the dolls represents something. You can't open the smallest one which is only the size of the little finger nail. I adore those golde
