Coat Check

A couple weeks ago while staying in the city for a project I enjoyed multiple jolts of caffeine around the corner from my hotel at Red Door Coffee. The cool part about this coffee joint is that it is part of 111 Minna Gallery and offers a monthly rotation of artwork to peruse while grabbing your morning espresso or happy hour cocktail (it’s part bar and event space as well–in true San Francisco fashion).

I hadn’t been back to this spot since living in the city some 6+ years ago so it was fun to revisit and to share it with my sister. She actually works just a block away at the Academy of Art and came to meet me for a sister date while I was in town. Minna Gallery is also located in an alley across the street from Yelp and so as you can imagine it has a nice ratio of friendly tech-meets-artsy hipsters and business professionals working away at any given time. It’s one of those great meeting spots to keep in mind as it’s just blocks from Market Street but with more of a relaxed tucked away vibe.

I packed this classic checked peacoat from Kate Spade for the week as it’s always cooler in San Francisco due to it’s odd microclimate and loved getting my first real chance to wear a fall coatI was the only one in Red Door in heels on this particular morning so I was glad I had on this leather shell which made me feel less formal. I’m also realizing that I need wear this shell over this blouse asap.
