If you're going to San Francisco.....

As part of our honeymoon we ended up in the beautiful city of San Francisco and of course what do girls do best 'shopping'. I spent a while looking at the major players of Union Square Macy's, Sak's Fifth Avenue and just off the side streets boutiques of the major players in the designer world Mulberry, Burberry, Maxmara..I was even partial to the Ferrari store! The most European of the American cities the sunshine blesses us, the pace of life was pretty bearable for a large city we watched several elder hippies dancing in the square with a refreshing pint of Blue Moon. Of course there are several vintage shops but alas with this being the last point of call on our itinerary we had to stick to a lot of major touristy things...and the fact I had very little sleep due to our noisy Korean neighbour who had the habit of leaving his bedroom door open where masses of tinned food adorned his bed...he also had a habit of dancing round the hotel corridors in tighty whitey's. 


                                                                   
                                                 
                                                           
                                                                   

Here were some beauties I managed to capture in SAKS before the Sales Assistants gave me the evil eye. I see the Summer Trends were out in force prints, pastel shades, movie star glamour and luxurious accessories. My place in the fashion world was seriously tested when I ventured into the fur department (not that I agree with any of it) but I walked over to a little green number and was looked at in sheer disgust when my filthy paws happened to pick up the price tag $135,000. 'That's because it's Sable' the lady said. I don't care what it is give me faux and a house any-day.
