Promise to write more about the trip as soon as I can, but here are some highlights to tide you over.
You can BET there was plenty of shoe shopping. Those patent leather combat boots I’m wearing? I took those bad boys home with me from the Fluevog shop in the Haight.
We had us some of this, which led to …
… some of this. Currently in the flaky, ugly, UNBEARABLY ITCHY phase of the healing process.
It was worth a looooong walk through touristy Fisherman’s Wharf to visit the sea lions of Pier 39. Indeed it was.
Husband Mike calls this one, “Two Bloggers on a Hill.”
Big thanks to beautiful, generous, and indescribably fabulous blogger Audi for putting us up, and putting up with us! More on the trip as soon as I have time …

Haha — love the ‘bloggers on a hill’ shot! What a gorgeous day that was. But Sal, where’s the photo of you wearing all your purchases at once?? I’m waiting most anxiously for that one.

i love the hill! not so say i don’t love the bloggers, but man, you picked a great hill!

That first photo is fantastic – not only do you look gorgeous, but it is so natural. And husband Mike taking the photo (in the mirror) makes it perfect!
Audi: Hee hee. That one might be for private viewing only.
Oh my gosh, Sal! Love the new tat- and it looks like you guys had so much fun. Is that your husband in the first photo taking your pic? You guys look like fashion photog and model
I’m sorry I missed you there!
OMG a neck tattoo! You are bold, woman. BOLD.

We went there on our Honeymoon—12 years ago…
Cool boots—luv them.

I love the ease of the bloggers

Sooooo jealous! DH and I spent 3 days in SF last year, and it wasn’t nearly long enough. More, more, more!
ooooh boots!
ooooooh tattoo! (love the red fading to black – gorgeous)
and oooooh bloggers on a hill!
Glad you had an awesome time and I expect you to NEVER takes those boots off. Except for showering and whatnot obviously.
I love SF (the city and bay remind me a little of Sydney). I hope to go again one day. For the time being your pictures reminded me of the sea lions on thhe pier. Thank you.
I just started following and had to comment- I LOVE shoe shopping in San Fran, especially the Haight! It’s my “shopping city”, I always find tons of cool shit there. I leave this weekend for a week long SF trip and your post is drumming up even more excitement.
Patent leather combat boots! Tres chic, and love the tattoo as well…
A few years back we lived close to SF and looking at these photos bring back fond memories. Thank you so much for sharing!
for some reason your tatoos always disarm me! they give you an edge you don’t otherwise show- except with the combat boots- so appropriate for Haight-Ashbury!
Black patent loveliness! Amazing boots! Glad to know you’re enjoying the end of your ban.
Is that Shoe Biz? Oh man, I miss Shoe Biz. And the Fluevogs store. And I missed you because I don’t live there any more, and that is the saddest.
Your tattoo is awesome and beautiful, and I can’t wait to hear about it.
whoa, holy tattoo! Will you share with us what inspired that particular symbol? I’m intrigued! You are fierce, lady! S.
S: I will. This is the second of two recent tattoos, and I should really give them both some air-time. In short, my legal name is Sarah, which means princess in Hebrew. A bit more on that here: http://www.alreadypretty.com/2008/06/this-week-i-love_16.html
looks like you had fun:) i love those boots! did the tattoo hurt a lot?
I’m so glad you had fun in SF! Next time, let me know — would love to meet for coffee.
WOW, you got a tatoo!! I wouldn’t have guessed you were the fiery-red-tatoo-on-the-neck kind of gal. I envy your bravery.
those boots are cooool!
Love the tattoo!
Seeing a picture of the Fluevog store + seeing a picture of you and Audi in the same place at the same time = amazing.
You should definately let all of us Bay Area readers know the next time you drop in for a visit. It would be great to all meet up for coffee somewhere.
Glad you had a great time while you were here
Those boots are so fantastic!! And I love the new tattoo
Awwww and the sea lions are so unbelievably cute…well until you get too close, or have to actually work on the pier lol.
Your new tattoo looks awesome Sal! I really love the placement.
Oh my gosh I so wish I could have joined you guys! You HAVE to come to Oregon soon or I’ll try to find my way to Minneapolis. It’ll happen. Trust me.
In other news, I’m running a Shabby Apple giveaway on my site this week (sound familiar?), which you are totally allowed to enter because free dresses don’t violate the ban, right?
