I’ve got to say, arriving in San Francisco, to its almost wall of white fog and clouds, seemed like a bit of a culture shock as opposed to the sunny districts of southern California but being back in the city felt so good! The slightly muggy weather didn’t seem to matter after catching the famous San Francisco trams in amongst the ever reaching skyline from the city centre to the San Fran coast every day. Before the trip I really didn’t expect I would come away thinking as highly of San Francisco as I have done, it is such a unique city, full of history yet bursting with modern ideas. We managed to pack so much into our short time here; I just hope I will have the opportunity to come back here one day so I can explore this amazing city in even more detail. Especially because I do regret not having enough time to really delve into the shopping scene, I only saw glimpses of places like Haight Street but even in then I saw how electric the atmosphere of each unique store was.

So this post is very forever21 orientated! This is mainly because Downtown has a really big store, so I thought why not indulge in a few treats while I’m here? The kimono is my favourite piece from this post. Its black and velvet, enough said! Velvet always has and I think always will be  my guilty pleasure, I just can’t say no to anything velvet, I mean I’ve already got my eyes on an asos velvet jumpsuit for when my student loan comes in, it’s becoming a problem.  What I really liked about the dress was its small embellishments of netting which, as a simple dress, just gave it a little emphasis. I just teamed it with small cute accessories as I wanted to keep the whole look quite free and simple. 

Next stop Vancouver and Washington state, we're heading way up North brrrr
