Hayes Valley Shopping with Macaroons

Its my spring break and I am spending it at home. Me and my mother had a few trip ideas but unfortunately they all fell through. But it is good to have free time to relax at home. So, my mother took me into the city to check out some boutiques I wanted to see. I have a huge list of boutiques in San Francisco I want to go to but today we went to Hayes Valley which has some really cute new and old boutiques.

First stop was Azalea.

Super cute twist on a leather elbow patch, in star form! I love it!

They had some very cute designers including one of my favorites which is Collective Concepts. They have very cute items and use all different patterns, I am very into patterns right now.

Then we went next door to a new store, the name is in the works but they are going by there address right now, Four Twenty Five Hayes Street, and they are a lovely extension of Azalea next door.

They carry lovely brands such as Vena Cava, MM6 by Masion Martin Margiela, and Acne. Lovely items such as this Vena Cava Jacket....

Amazing suede and leather should caps.

Suede and sculpted Acne wedges, at half off!

If you keep going on Hayes for another block, or turn onto the side streets you will run into more cute, small places. We waltzed into this store, which caught our eyes from the old pennies used as tile flooring, called Reliquary which opened up about 3 weeks ago. They had a old southern/mexican theme to them.

I could have bought any of these little bags here. I love how they are arranged and how you can mix and match any of them.

Next stop on my list is the world famous MAC Modern Appealing Clothing which houses new and up coming designers from around the globe as well as some old favorites like Maison Martin Margiela. I loved they plant array I saw first thing when I stepped into the store.

I have always been drawn to floral prints, I just can't help myself.

The lovely sales clerk at the store was telling me a lot about all the different designers they carry and she new a lot! It is always nice to find people out there who are not just interested in selling items but are deeply interested in the fashion and the lives of the designers behind them. She told me about this new designer from Japan called Nooy that they just got in. Every item is one size only. Keep your eyes on this guy because anybody who is going to be anyone in the fashion world starts at MAC.

And for the last clothing store stop was Acrimony. They had some lovely clothing but I was really drawn in by there shoes.

And finally, after a delicious lunch we stopped for desert at the famous Paulette Macaroons. Now I have been trying to make macaroons in these last couple of weeks but have failed. I wanted to try one soooo bad! But I failed, twice, but I will get them right some day! For now, I had my first macaroon at Paulette, and they are amazing!

We took a box home, I mean how could we not have. And lets just say I have already eaten four, I need to lay off for a little and maybe only eat two tommorrow, and go to the gym.

It was fun and we are planning to head in on saturday for a few more stores in another area of San Francisco. But today was a lot of fun, you guys should really check out all of these great stores!
