One of my favorite areas in San Francisco is South Park. There is a little park in the middle that's surrounded by these cute little shops and artsy businesses. Matthew and I have a favorite brunch place there called The Butler and the Chef. It's French and delicious {obviously!}




denim shirt thrifted, dress Modcloth, shoes Steven by Steve Madden "Melin," purse Coach via ebay
This is the Coach purse I got an ebay for $10! I wasn't sure if the ivory color would look too dirty white but I think it's just right. And, in case you were wondering, these pictures were taken the afternoon before the proposal so that's why my finger is sans ring. It's crazy how in such a short amount of time a ring can become such a big part of who you are.






































i LOVE your shoes! you look absolutely beautiful mara!

Great shoes, Mara!! I am loving that look on you. And what a steal withe the purse. I remember getting a Kate Spade beach tote for $30 at a silent auction and it was regularly $400. Those kinds of deals are the best.

Had memories of this place when I was little, googled my grampa's neighbourhood. Pretty sure that pink building was his old apartment.
