Perfect spring roundup! ReLove on Polk in SF has some amazing designer vintage finds if you need a hit in the city!

A great reminder that we can enjoy a vacation experience in our own towns. I have never lived outside my city, and I feel the same way, Viv.💕 The flowers are adorable on your dog.

I loved this sm!! I'm from Honolulu, so May day is "lei day" aka meant for flowers galore— so I usually try to do anything botanical in my city (nyc). I romanticize the seasons, and spring is my favorite time to enjoy picnics, botanical gardens, reading at outdoor cafes, browsing farmer's markets, and going to the ballet. You've inspired me to book an SF trip soon :,)

In spring: the pace that weather moves through is just lovely (depending on where you are!). walking around the wet streets after a storm is my fave 🌷

Spring is for bringing my work pants and clogs where they belong, into the garden!

This post was just lovely! 🌸 It made me giddy about the warm days ahead (I’m in Norway, so it’s not really picnic-in-the-park-warm just yet)! My favourite spring activity is hiking up a trail that’s right behind me. It’s pretty steep, but when I reach the top the view is magic ✨

Ugh I miss the food in SF/ Berkley. NYC has some great farmer’s markets but those tomatoes are definitely making me hungry as well as the Sourdough breads’ wow 🤯. I need to come visit especially as a food loving vegetarian.

I see you Miu Miu girl that was an epic time 💯

Adding your suggestions to my itinerary for my next trip up north! I live in Pasadena and my favorite spring activities are a trip to the Huntington (duh) and taking the train to the South Pasadena farmers market (iykyk) on Thursdays.

So timely! I'm traveling to SF next week and so excited. It can have such a dystopian/tech reputation but I find it one of the most charming cities in America
