Last week, I received a lovely surprise of goodies from the fashionable hands of Mary Jo from Trust your Style. She has been a reader and follower of this little blog since the early days! This cute little bag holds a few of my everyday things that tend to hide at the bottom of my purse. This will be a nice option for going without one sometimes. The linen or cotton material feel very nice and I love the illustration. Pretty cool.
♥ ♥ Thanks Mary Jo!!

What would I do without my allen tool (phillips screw included) and lipstick?!

I was very happy to run into my homeboy Jose. (we are overdue for a bici coffee ride, eh!?) He handed me this at the end of the night. Maybe it’s because I’m riding big hills with big heels? haa just kidding. Sweet. I like redish-pink and blue together. You can check out his thing over at Viva La Bici.

Viva!!

And this is from a sweet man in a shoe repair place in the Sunset. We started talking about bikes, cats and shoes. He had this super old school poster I fell in love with but would never dare to ask for it, but he handed me this as a souvenir. He said he always tosses them. What a gem. Looks like my ♥velcro.

Meowwr.

This is from three Thursdays ago. Thankful for days like these when a little brake for coffee, a bit of bike, a bit of boys, sightseeing and a bit of park goes a long way. Lots of T posts around here today ;D

Anyways/ xo.♥meligrosa

1. Here is a hat accessory that seems pretty cool. I’m a huge advocate of sun-protection but have learned to embrace my tanned nose from the big sunglasses. Oh well. I still prefer Riding-Pretty’s super cute covers, if I was to choose one (Eventually, no pressure!!), but thought I’d share this by fuseprocject. Seems to be a well designed piece. What do you think?

[From fuseproject.com]City of New York NYC Helmet: We were commissioned by the City of New York to create a product and brand that appeals to the new generation of bikers, would provide safety both in a context of a free bike program, and of a policy to promote cycling in the City.

2.When I first saw the headline for this, I thought it was kind of a Bikers-hotel deal. I guess I have been thinking too much about the idea of traveling by bicycle across the US and it would be rad if instead of say, trucker-hotels or pit stops, there would be a hotel for bikers with bike shop and nice mechanics, right?! Anyways, these are good looking red bicycles. Here is the article:

Hotels Offer Bikes To Guests /By Deidre Woollard
Forget renting a car the next time you are in a new city,
many hotels are now offering bikes to guests.
It’s a great way to see a new city and be green too.
