PACKING LIST | THE BAY AREA

August 1, 2014 by jessica Leave a Comment

Today’s packing list for The Bay Area comes from Lindsay of Middle of Somewhere: 

I was lucky enough to live in The Bay Area for about three years while attending graduate school and I look forward to each and every time I am able to go back to visit. San Jose has a special place in my heart because that is where I lived and was able to make so many new friends who I still keep in touch with to this day. That’s why visiting this area is so special to me. San Francisco stole my heart from my first visit there. It is such an amazing city because every time you visit, you can find a new neighborhood to explore that is completely different from the next. I always try to pack clothes that can transition from one activity to the next and are comfortable enough to walk around and explore in all day.
  1. SF Giants hat: Because you can’t make a trip to San Francisco  without making sure to catch a Giants game. 
  2. Old Navy Cardigan: The weather can often be random and unpredictable in the Bay Area, so I always make sure to have a cardigan or light jacket on stand by, especially in the summer time. 
  3. Gap Boyfriend Jeans: Boyfriend jeans are the perfect transition piece to wear during the day or to dress up at night with a blazer and heels for a nice dinner—preferably a nice Italian meal in North Beach! 
  4. Rebecca Minkoff Purse: You can’t go wrong with a lightweight crossbody bag while sightseeing around the city all day. 
  5. Steve Madden Sneakers: Comfortable walking shoes are a must, especially when braving the hills of San Francisco.

Over the weekend, we drove to Michigan and welcome Over the weekend, we drove to Michigan and welcomed this little lady to the family! She’s a two-year old snow Bengal that was surrendered after being bullied by the other cats in her home. We’re pretty sure she’s a seal lynx point Bengal, which has Siamese in the lineage, based on her vibrant, slightly crossed blue eyes. She is the sweetest, softest, most playful, and unbelievably talkative little girl. We’re crazy about her! 

We haven’t picked a name just yet, though. We have some ideas, but we’re waiting to get to know her personality more. 😊

Merry Christmas! My own Christmas tree isn’t a Merry Christmas! 

My own Christmas tree isn’t as tinsel’d as this one from the Christmas museum in Salzburg nor does it rotate. Consider these goals for next year.

I made @csaffitz’s raspberry almond thumbprint c I made @csaffitz’s raspberry almond thumbprint cookies and they’re delicious, but a lot of work and they don’t hold up well. If you’re planning on them this year, don’t add the jam dollop until just before you’re ready to serve them. The moisture gets sucked in overnight. Still good, of course, just softer than the first day.
