ok you guys. you’ll have to forgive me because today’s post has a few more photos than usual. but i just love the beach! a lot. these photos were taken on a little day trip to half moon bay where we spent a little while wandering along the shore on a particularly blustery afternoon. living in the bay area, i don’t need the weather to be warm to enjoy the beach, especially since even on the warmest days, the water is always a bit too chilly for swimming anyway. so no matter the weather, i’m always happy to look out into the ocean and sink my feet into the sand.
i remember when i first moved to san francisco (over 11 years ago!), i lived in a tiny apartment across the street from baker beach in the presidio. i will never forget how lovely it was to be able to wander down to the shore at any hour of the day… on late nights to frolic about with the whole beach to myself, at sunset with all of the couples bundled up under blankets, or on sunny weekend days when crowds of people filled every open space. i was always happy to just sit and watch the waves.

Oh, Erin. Your outfit posts are enviable! I have had exams for the past two months and Calivintage has certainly eased the pain of studying – so thank you ♥ I’m so jealous of your seaside frolics – in England, the beach is a bitterly cold place for about 10 months of the year so my outfit posts by the sea will have to wait for at least another 4 months! You look gorgeous xx
That dress is gorgeous…I love how you styled it. Trench coats are so classic. I’m infinitely jealous of the beautiful beach, too. I’d love a nice, long trip to California right now!
