Light My Fire
In an attempt to beat the heat this weekend, my boyfriend and I planned a last-minute trip to San Diego. Though we were greeted with almost identical weather, the ocean breeze was a nice relief from the smoke-laden air (most of Southern California is up in flames).
After a quick breakfast at Urth, we headed to the world famous San Diego Zoo, where I spent the majority of my day hopping between snack bars. Turns out, Icees are far more appealing than churros when it’s above 90°.

Following a refreshing dip in the hotel’s rooftop pool, we headed over to the Gaslamp Quater for dinner. After walking several blocks full of bars and eclectic restaurants, we decided on Cafe Sevilla, for their Spanish tapas and intimate atmosphere.

Since the weather stayed warm into the night, it was the perfect time to whip out my new H&M trousers that I’ve been itching to wear. Cropped just above the ankle, they’re a fun alternative to jeans and surprisingly even more comfortable.

first of all that oatmeal and latte look deelish! and you look lovely in those trousers <3
Slightly jealous of the excursion you had to SD Zoo and moreso Urth Cafe! I sure do miss their lattes. Great outfits – you always look so stunning in your pics!
Wow. I love your trousers – even more because of my admiration that you totally pull them off! They would look so terrible on me, but on you they look fantastic. I’m jealous of your warm weather – it’s so cold here!
sounds like the perfect weekend getaway! fun activities, delicious foods and fabulous outfits. you look amazing Emily, you have the best style!
What a fun trip! The San Diego zoo is awesome. And so is your F+C bag!!

Loving the bag. Hope all is well in SoCal- grew up there and feel awful about the fires and havoc it’s creating.
Wow, you have great arms. Love the outfits. I have been a fan of your blog for quite sometime.
I wish I’d known you were coming, I’d have come and said hello!

Those h&m trousers are truly fantastic.
love those trousers, can’t believe their H&M! never seen them here… although that happens much,
noah
I haven’t been to the SD zoo in probably 20 years. I actually grew up in Riverside.
And don’t talk to me about H&M. I am so bitter. I really hope that they decide that Utah is super cool and build one. We only got DSW a year ago.
CUTE pants! Very parisian of you…proof that you don’t have to be french to rock pleats!
And I’m loving the belt in your zoo outfit!
what a fun little getaway – we love San Diego. I may need to plan a trip just for the latte alone!

Sounds – and looks! – like you two had a fantastical time, despite the oppressive heat. Your night-out outfit is simply perfect – elegant, cool, and fantastically feminine.

OMG, love love love the trousers, and quite frankly everything about this outfit. I love the way you often put such an elegant and chic spin on the California casual look, and have become an avid reader of your blog (I’m from NY). Please do tell when you bought the H&M trousers in case I can still snatch them up, as well as wear I can find that adorable/sexed up top!
Thanks,
Melanie

I don’t like those pants. Shocking, I know.
Nice outing it seems. That breakfast looks divine. I hope you’re suitably cooled after that lovely trip!
You really rock those trousers – great pics!
