I got an anorak from Cotton On, an Australian based clothing store. Although the store does go on ridiculous sales (to the point that makes me question if they are profiting at all), I bought this anorak for full price at $49.95. The material is not particularly of high quality, but it will do to satisfy my longing for an anorak. I initially looking at an anorak at Madewell (the sister store of J. Crew). But the jacket retailed for $158.00, not including tax. It had wonderful structure and fitting, and the quality was quite nice. As much as I adore the jacket, I could not shell out that much money for one jacket. Perhaps it is for another time, another season in my life where I make bank. Until then, I shall settle for the anorak at Cotton On.

Happy Labor Day everyone! I went to Little Italy last Saturday, a neighborhood in San Diego, to attend one of the larger farmer's markets in the city. My friends and I arrived around 10AM and it was already crowded with people of all ages. There was live music and people bustling throughout the street.  The white tents spanned across 4-5 blocks, selling various produce, food and art. By the time I arrived, the sun was already warming up the atmosphere, and soon enough my neck was blazing hot. There were many different vendors selling food from different cuisines such as Thai and Mexican. Samples were given to us all around, and we definitely did not hesitate to pop these goodies into our mouths.
