bazaar

The Bazaar by Jose Andres @ the SLS hotel has been my favorite dining experience to date.  My sisters and I went to the Bazaar during Dine L.A. a few months ago and I am still nostalgic.  There was so much to see from the unique chairs and a gift shop filled with one of a kind necklaces and art books.  I love the chairs in various lengths, shapes and sizes.  The table settings were off the wall as well; the whole restaurant was filled with these bizarre objects.  The food were like art pieces and tasted so unique too.  Let's go back to the Bazaar!

A group pic @ the gift shop area.

What a cool candle and to have these hands as jewelry holders, how cool that would be?

The bartender making my liquid nitrogen caipirinha and our various tapas.

My liquid nitrogen caipirinha, oh so yummy.

A unique take on empenadas and cotton candy foie gras, delish I might add.

??? and organized cesar salad, with quail egg on top.

While roaming around Japanese town in SF, my sis and I stumbled upon these unique photobooths and voila, our pika pika pics.  It was a bit disorienting to pose for these pics because everything is in Japanese and while your posing, disco music is pounding in ears.  Of course we had help from the lovely staff of pika pika pics.  My favorite part is editing the photos and adding borders, glitter and everything from the kitchen sink.  

Lots of fun.

sf, sausalito

My latest trip to SF was suppose to be amazing since I was going to hear Adele sing her broken heart out in Berkley. She has been on my play list since I heard "Right as Rain" @ F21 and her latest album 21 has been cathartic. I was disappointed she cancelled her tour due to laryngitis.

Listen Adele, can you stop smoking? Not cool. My sis and I were determined to make lemonade out of lemons and enjoy one of my favorite cities. The city didn't disappoint and we enjoyed some Balenciaga and Spain exhibition at the de Young Museum in Golden Gate park, a day trip to Sausalito, a speak easy bar in the heart of the city and food coma in Mission St. I heart SF!

I stumbled upon a mural while walking about in Union Square on our way to dinner, luv it.

Blue bottle coffee, yum! I hate to say this, but better than Intelligentsia, but I have not been to the one in Silverlake, only the one in Pasadena, so I'm still giving Intelligentsia a chance.

Our smart drinks from the speakeasy.

Bi-Rite creamery in Mission St., oh so yummy too! I heart these flying books near City Lights Books.

Saying hasta luego to the Ferry building on our way to Sausalito.

The magic bus in SF that transport you to the 1920's, similar to Midnight in Paris, LOL.

My sister walking about in Haight St.

One of my favorite structures in Golden Gate Park, Conservatory of Flowers.

The Balenciaga exhibit was refreshing to see since I haven't been to a museum in a while and I also love all the Spanish inspired couture dresses.

Is this a Banksy or yes?

Here are the boathouses in Sausalito, which are cute, but not has cute as the homes in the Venice beach canals.

My favorite boathouse. It must be the tear drop shape and the round curves.

I also adore the lumberjack feel this boathouse exudes.

The most colorful boathouse in the community and how cute are these mailboxes.

What a life, to live in a boat, carefree, happy and simple.

The more I visit SF, the more I fall in love with the city. It seems I'm ready for a change in scenery, just for a bit, nothing permanent. Nah, I just can't stand the weather. It's gloomy and wearing a parka in the summer just doesn't seem right.
