Now you may ask me why we chose to shoot at a former high security prison which inhabited the most infamous criminals in American history. Abel believes it’s one of the few San Francisco tourist traps actually worth going. I’ll get to that part in a minute.
But first let’s talk about this Maurie & Eve oversized coat. Scored on sale – I’m on a roll lately, this is the perfect coat for our upcoming travels to some place cold today (hint hint: stay tuned!). Unfortunately it’s sold out, but I’m listing a few more favorites below.
Back to Alcatraz. If you’re ever in SF, I’d recommend skipping the overcrowded Fisherman’s Wharf, and do the Alcatraz night tour – pro tip book it in advance! We left the scene appreciating our freedom more than ever and how we take it for granted. Not to mention the beautiful views of SF from the island!
Thank you for reading!

I head over to San Francisco every year and have yet to go to Alcatraz. Maybe this year’s trip will be different. I’ll be out there first week of February with some time to explore. Also, I love the style of the photos!

I’ve always wanted to go to Alcatraz, not sure why maybe my morbid personality I just think it is so interesting. Anyway this look is amazing my beauty fits in perfectly with the grungy surroundings.

I’m been dying to visit Alcatraz for ages now but each time we’re in SF, I always forget to pre-book and tickets sell out faster than a wink of the eye. Sigh. It looks so amazing too. You look amazing as well, incidentally, that coat is quite epic.
