      Posted at 3:39 am by jasminedesirees, on October 24, 2013

      We have a Zara in SF, but the one in Vegas is so much better. I might find one or two things in the one near my work, but when I go into the one in the Fashion Mall on the strip, I have to limit myself to a dollar amount ahead of time and try to stick to it.

      I want everything in there.

      T-shirts should not be a remarkable thing, but it’s really hard to find a good one. Usually they are too thick, or completely see through, or they hang on me weird and make me look pregnant.

      These ones are just sheer enough to be breathable, they are form fitting but don’t cling, they have a nice wide neckline so I don’t feel like I’m choking, and they are long enough to be flattering. It’s probably weird to be this excited about a very basic clothing staple, but I am.

      I’ve been wanting some lace trimmed black shorts for a long time, (probably since I saw this post, actually) and I figured they would be very easy to find, but they aren’t. The only pairs I’ve found have been incredibly expensive, but these were really cute and affordable.

      It’s always hard for me to find button up shirts, usually they are either way too big and unflattering, or too tight and the buttons pull, plus they are usually see-through so I have to wear something underneath that adds bulk. This shirt is sheer but the colour is dark enough to keep it decent, and it fits perfectly without any gaping or pulling in the chest. Plus it’s green.

      The only other green thing I own is a green silk mini dress with puffy sleeves. I was most likely drunk at the time of purchase, as I can’t imagine what else would have possessed me to snatch up that little number, which might still be the single most expensive thing I’ve ever bought. I force myself to wear it every St. Patrick’s Day as a humiliation exercise, and a reminder that if you feel the sudden urge to buy a Kelly green puffy sleeved satin dress, or other embarrassing equivalent, it’s probably a good idea to sleep on it first.

      It’s such a gorgeous day in San Francisco I just want to go play outside. I find it strange that it is 60 degrees here in July and 90 in mid-October, but that’s just one more thing to love about this weird little city.

      I am literally don’t think I can eat any more turkey, but I feel really guilty going shopping for any other food while we still have so much left because there are lots of people in the world that don’t have enough to eat, so there is actually no other food in our house.

      As a direct result of this situation, I had a very large coffee and some chocolate for lunch today and it was delicious and decadent but between the caffeine and the sugar rush I am feeling a bit crazy and I might be developing a twitch in my left eye.

      It might just be excitement though, I’m off to Vegas tomorrow to see two of my most favourite girls, drink a lot of margaritas and spend all my money. It’s not the gambling that gets me, though I do seem to have a unusual talent for craps, it’s the shopping.

      There is a Zara here in SF, but for some reason when I walk into the one in Vegas I want EVERYTHING! Plus they have a Top Shop. Life is good.

      Even though it is still gorgeous out here, it’s mid-September and getting close to Fall. This time of year always makes me want to throw out everything I own and become one of those women who owns a trench coat and wears socks that actually match.

      Here are a few things I’m creeping on right now:

      I have a little ritual that I pull out every couple of months when I really need to just get away from everything for awhile.

      I leave work and go straight to specialty’s and buy the biggest chocolate chunk cookie they have, then I wander around the city nibbling on it and people watching, marvelling at the truly unique souls that are housed by this interesting little city.

      I usually end up at the Westfield mall on market to do a little shopping. Today was one of those days, and it was exactly what I needed.  The two cute shirts I found at Zara were just an added bonus.
