San Francisco definitely lives up to its reputation as a rollicking city where almost anything goes. This city is so beautiful, exciting and diverse that you can always find something new to see and do, whether it’s your first or 50th visit.

San Francisco’s vibe is a mix of both boho and cosmopolitan, so try to capture both styles in a single look when visiting the Bay Area. Much like the city itself, American Eagle Outfitters printed shift dress has pretty details at every turn. The dress’s relaxed fit echoes the carefree nature of the locals. Add boho edge to your look with the American Eagle Outfitters wide brimmed fedora.

Now that you have captured the California cool vibe, here is what we suggest you do and see while exploring San Fran this spring break.

Brunching—Brunch in San Francisco is a weekend tradition. Don’t let the long line in front of Sweet Maple in Lower Pacific Heights intimidate you. Sweet Maple is known for their “Millionaire’s Bacon”—bacon fried in brown sugar and cayenne pepper, famously featured on the Food Network. So good, you’ll to have seconds.

Sightseeing—Spend an afternoon hiking the Land’s End trail along the coast. It’s not very popular among the tourists, which makes it a perfect spot for locals to enjoy the weather and catch great views of the Golden Gate Bridge. The hike is approximately an hour long and you can reward yourself after with a smoothie from Sweet House on Balboa Street!

ShoppingHaight Street is a favorite spot for just about everything fashionable. The deals you can find at the thrift stores finally give you a reason to “splurge” on that leather jacket you’ve always wanted. Haight Street has a variety of clothing in their boutiques such as tie-dye pants, ‘90s classic rock T-shirts, military jackets and dresses for special occasions.

Hidden gem—On a sunny day, Golden Gate Park is the place to be. Just about every local in San Francisco knows there will be a party in the park when the weather is nice. Everyone loves this gem of San Francisco, even the bison in The Bison Paddock section of the park. Bison in San Francisco? Anything is possible.
