When it comes to travel, I tend to be a bit of a sucker for major cities all over the world. Most of us would like to visit Paris London or New York, but San Fran is a city filled with atmosphere like no other.
Today I discovered a Vintage Shoppers heaven- Haight St.
Haight Ashbury was the heart of the hippy culture and it could be said, still is.
You can still experience the flavor of that era at many of the shops on haight. Mixed in between those shops of the 60's up and down Haight, high-end vintage clothing stores and a number or exclusive boutiques and many delish restaurants and cute little cocktail bars.
As you have probably gathered I am slightly obsessed with all types of boots. I found a great little shoe shop on HAIGHT that stocks boots of all types, from western to thigh- high, Docks with heels, patent gumbies, laceups and great high fashion copies!
Check out the online store at:

There are 3 stores on haight st-
Shoe Biz 1 carries inexpensive, trendy styles for streetwear and clubwear. Shoe Biz 2 carries more casual styles including street sneakers, athletic sneakers, and skate shoes. And Super Shoe Biz offers dressier, higher end styles.
These are my pics of the bunch- I couldn't make a decision- I really need to stop buying boots!!!!!!
Im going back tomorrow- DANGEROUS!
A few stores down from BIZ is a vintage boutique- AMBIANCE
www.ambiancesf.com
My pick would be the rack of high waisted leather shorts and the amazing vintage fur coats that are showcased on the walls around the outer of the store- I couldn't bring myself to purchase the beautiful black bear fur coat even though it was extremely tempting.
When I was searching desperately through an accessories bin 5 minutes before close I came across a very cute vintage San Fran charm bracelet and a beautiful pair of Vivienne Westwood cream wedding shoes!
I have been such a good girl in taking SNAPS of my outfits but unfortunately I forgot my camera connection cord- which means I will not be able to post them until I find one to match or until I arrive home.
Enjoy following my San Fran findings!
Its only Day 1!
