Staycation?

There were heat waves in San Francisco this past week.  I'll be wishing we get more of them during this summertime season :) We spent time on our walks to all the usual streets ... lots of eggs and omelettes for breakfast along the way.  How about you?

We usually love wearing the same style that is comfortable, and here is my hubby's new uniform outfit that he loves :)

*rollover the image to see what it is ...

It took a few months to finally get these pictures framed!  The 2013 Guide To San Francisco poster is a limited edition by David Ehrenstrahle.  He also has a collection of different personal travel guide posters of all the cities that inspire him.  I've been looking for a while for this Andy Warhol Moderna Musseet poster and finally got one on ebay ... yay.  It speaks the truth too... I do only look at pictures.

Over the weekend while running random errands, we finally got to stop in this little Cafe Hollow. The simplicities and rustic feel of the design is very calming and creates a nice relaxing atmosphere.  We just ordered some yummy lattes and an empanada to share.  It was pretty delicious ... I believe best described as "Yumm!" ...

Also, don't forget to check out the store next door Dandy. It is an extension of Hallow's retail space specialized in kitchen supplies and other gifts.

Have you heard of Bay to Breaker?  It's been a part of San Francisco for over 100 years. Thousands of people wearing costumes walk and dance along the 12k run route that winds through the city :)  It's the best time to just hang out with friends and do some people watching.

Meanwhile Sayhellomax is feeling a little tropical this week.  Don't forget to head over and check out the new shoots of Tienlyn and my monochrome outfit with animal prints.

Another week has passed ...  

With our new coffee machine I've spent a lot of time at home making my own cappuccino.  I'm still practicing to make wonderful patterns on the foam, but far from being a barista anytime soon ... lol

I feel like we've been nesting at home working on projects more lately.  Waking up and seeing all the flowers blooming, I am fascinated by how they can change just within a few hours it seems like.  I try to capture them in different ways before they go ...

We've have been wanting to check this space out Sable Cafe.  I feel in love with the decor and space.  Wonderful natural light coming in from the large front windows with a calm environment to have simple lunch and coffee.  They also have a pretty flower shop called Lila B located in the spacious courtyard.

Every week while Rob and I go for a walk, we often times pass by this beautiful house Alfred Clarke Mansion.  One day I would love to look inside, jump around with my Jambox, and be a pretend princess for a hot second ...

Meanwhile this week sayhellomax has lots of lovely blazers and my monochrome outfit.  It was really fun for me to find the right location for the shoot and look we are going for.

Rob has enjoyed making a lot of different breakfasts lately.  This week it was yummy sausages and soft boiled eggs.

Here are a few of my new favorites Vagabond ShoesNixon Kensington WatchMenu Weight Here Candleholder and iPhone Case White Mouse iPhone. You can see more of this outfit on sayhellomax.com.

We always pass by places on walks and this week we decided to sneak into one.  Corona Heights Park was a nice easy and casual hike with a great view up at the top.  It's nice to always get a different perspective or look onto San Francisco.  

We also stopped in Potrero Hill and checked out this coffee house Front Cool interior design and use of an old loading dock with yummy coffee.

We love projects so sometimes we swing by Building Resources to hunt some fun stuff to play around and get creative with.  They have really great recycled materials, art displays, and all sorts funky finds.  

Til next time...

Memories?

Since I have lots of pictures, I recently decided to begin sharing some here.  My husband and I enjoy little projects...

Since I have lots of pictures, I recently decided to begin sharing some here.  My husband and I enjoy little projects, as well as taking walks and local adventures around the bay area.  I wanna share some of the things I've enjoyed so hopefully you will too...

Breakfast is for egg lovers... and for me more often then not.

I found a few new topics and interests that I have been noticing myself capturing more often lately.  The first is old architectural buildings that are so beautiful when maintained.  I feel like San francisco is a city that has tons of them to be discovered.  

Second is flowers... I find them so calm and beautiful with so much to admire, but I'm not so good at taking care of them.  I guess in order not to kill them I've been trying to learn more about them... by capturing and spending more time with them... hehe

I really want a vintage car some day.  They have so much fun character to them...
