every girl loves a Giant

Baseball, anyone?

I'm a sportsfan. A Giants fan to be particular.


I love our ballpark. It's downtown, easy to get to by public transportation...


AND we even have free Valet Bike Parking (as you may know by now).


I love our fans - laid-back but sometimes wild San Franciscans just being themselves. The game will speak for itself. We simply enjoy having a fancy beer and watching our orange and black team kick ass.


And look - I'm not the only chick who likes a ballgame!


Oh hai! Harajuku lovers purse!


My awesome t-shirt is a limited edition design from Upper Playground. Can't wait to see what unique Giants tees they come up with this year!

Davis Vogue

Occasionally, I am forced to leave my beloved San Francisco. Usually it's a family obligation. Davis has world-class biking facilities; so, it's not surprising that I saw this woman in long skirt, cowboy boots and yellow top waiting at a stop light as we left town.

Oakland Infill

Years ago, my friend Brian and I took photos of a parking garage being torn down in Oakland. I met him for lunch a few weeks back, and he wanted to show me what they'd done with the lot.

But first, this woman in full summer gear biked past us. I love stripes... and red, but I loved her "salt water flats" even more -- I had a pair of those sandals as a kid. Where do you buy them in adult sizes?


In the background of this photo, you can see the Uptown, the infill development they put on the lot of that parking garage. We got a tour, and it is awesome.

red bike

I get the feeling this girl saw this bike in a shop and fell in love so hard she had to start commuting by bike in order to be near it all the time.

My love for bikes is more selfish. I love what they can do for me: travel quickly, easily and efficiently. I love the way they make me feel. I'm still waiting to fall in love with one bike more than all the others. I envy her for that.

bicycle bags

This girl's hot pink Bell helmet and shoulder bag with floral design caught my eye...

when all of a sudden this gentlemanly cyclist in business attire pulled up right next to her with his sleek and shiny brown messenger bag.

I'm quite partial to small handbags myself, and so this lady with her Native American inspired leather purse impressed me too--cowboy boots to match--as she pushed into the intersection. Nice lace trim on her skirt too.

bizarre

This woman's look took me quite my surprise. Black tights with cream-colored old-fashioned heels, cut-off jeans and a black sweater. Her purse, which was quite tasteful, was strapped to her handle bars (not shown). Where could she possibly be going?

Revolution!

Another beautiful day in the Mission, and beautiful women with Che Guevara shoulder bags are too fast for my camera.

I was also impressed with her all-in-black skirt, sunglasses, and cowboy boots look. We are each our own kind of revolutionary.

Uggs

These warm boots get a lot of flack. I read somewhere someone calling them excellent "birth control." Likewise, I also read that "Ugg" is Aussie slang for "ugly." And more than that, I thought they were out. This woman provides a compelling argument to the contrary.

I also like the way she wears her purse like a backpack. Clearly, the woman knows how to combine elegance with utility.

color coordination

I love it when cyclists match their bikes. Like this girl in her mustard yellow short coat with three quarter length sleeves with red cuffs and purse to match her red ride.

And this guy's turquoise Adidas reminded me of the Pleasantville special effect, the way they popped out against the grey ensemble he paired with his silver chrome frame. Bike advocacy doesn't always have to be in high heels.

And away he goes on the runway!

Light Blue Bike

This photo was tricky to take as we were both whizzing along Valencia. I sped up to pass her, and then scrambled to take this photo over my shoulder without losing speed. She rode a classic light blue bike with basket and matching fenders. She wore a sweater with leggings -- yes, the 80s are back -- and I was particularly taken with the way her bag was artfully tossed into her basket. Nice!

A very ordinary Paris bike moment

We love this photo by Eric Parker not only because it is lovely, but also because it depicts bicycle use as the every day activity that it is. No big deal, just check in, pick up your bike and take off slapping your bag into the basket. Off you go.
The way it should be.
Thanks to Eric Britton for photo and language.

dogs in purses - not just for old ladies on the métro!

How about this man's San Francisco spin on carrying your French poodle in your Gucci handbag:

The chihuahua in his messenger bag, in addition to his smart look of the sportsjacket over faded black jeans, definitely caught my eye.

Tous les deux, très mignons!
