love this & the bay! I wear my vintage 1950s sf sweatshirt almost every sf trip, which came from a bay area vintage seller 💕

Carrying both a beanie and a baseball cap for a midday switch is a real SF way of life. Waving hi from around the corner from Horsie’s! Loved this roundup

Did you see me swimming in Aquatic Park Cove when you were at the Maritime Museum? A shame to have missed you — I'd have given you a tour of the Dolphin Club, my home away from home.

I would love that! There are so many SF substack people that I would be thrilled to meet in person! This was mainly a best friends trip but I want to go back soon, and I’ll give you a heads up if I do ❤️

My favorite thing about reading your posts is that (1) you have a great writing voice and (2) I love the visuals you add.

Also- meeting up with Viv Chen!! And you’ve met HMS too! You are THAT girl.

Thanks Kelly!! I love when other people use their own photographs, so I try to do that too, even if a stock photo would be objectively nicer!

It sounds like you had an incredible trip! I’m so fortunate to call SF my home and love the weather, even though it means owning a pair of summer gloves :)

Have fun! I can't testify to that much, but I will say that there are two concentrated areas where you'll be able to cover the most ground: walking down Valencia in the Mission District and walking down Haight in Haight Ashbury. Would start with No Shop on Valencia or Held Over on Haight and branch out from there--walking in a six or seven block range on either street will get you into multiple stores! The only place I bought something was at Held Over.

New to this substack - it’s been a delight to discover! What is the app you use to keep track of all your clothing items?

Ugh, this made me miss SF so much 😭 It’s funny how your outfits still absolutely exude Eleanor but definitely had the perfect lil Bay Area touch to them! (I miss layering lol)

Idk why but it’s always kinda cool to hear other women talk about sports—it just doesn’t happen very often for me 🤷‍♀️

This sounds like an awesome second attempt (the first try sounded truly awful). How fun!

The only sport I know is basketball but I’ll talk about it often!
