I spent the past weekend in rainy San Francisco, those who have been reading this blog for awhile may know that I adore San Francisco, it was the very first place I ever visited in the US – so will always hold a special place in my heart.

On this particular trip we didn't have much time for sightseeing (or shopping – one of my fave things to do in SF) as we were there for a plethora of reasons, meetings, the lovely Gina Blancarte's wedding and to host a blogger event – all in under three days – crazy times.

I'll have more posts upcoming, but thought we'd start off with an outfit post – it feels like it's been awhile – and I really loved dressing for the cold. This cute plaid dress was a Fancy Treehouse purchase – you can't see too well, but it has a great velvet collar and cute velvet bows. The tights are from Target, the trench coat is Calvin Klein (via TJ Maxx) and the loafers are from Topshop – and completely my new favourites.

I got absolutely soaked on this excursion, through my own doing, after my meeting I went in search of a taxi to head back to the hotel. As I started walking I realised how much I was enjoying doing so, in a city designed for it, and just carried on, meandering my way through the rainy downtown San Francisco night. I even stumbled across an Occupy Wall Street march and enjoyed walking alongside them, in the rain, watching democracy in action.

All together it was quite a magical 40 mins but I'm the kind of person who likes to "get lost" once in a while ;)
