It’s beautiful weather here in San Francisco right now, so, battling a slight hangover after a night of dancing, I was determined to get out there and enjoy it early, before the Sunday walking crowds descended.

8:00am found me, dog in tow, running shoes and big sunglasses firmly in place, striding down the streets of Laurel Heights. This is near my house, and a gorgeous way to enjoy a quiet, sunny Sunday morning. The streets are tree-lined, views are fabulous, and houses are the stuff that much wistful day dreaming is made of!

But even with all of that going for me, I still needed a little extra motivation to handle those not so mean streets, so my iPod, even more constant companion than boyfriend or dog, once again came up with the goods! Here’s a selection of what i listened to: a mix of French house music (that I have a peculiar soft spot for), 80s classics, including a Hall and Oates number made famous again by the film “500 Days of Summer”, and a few ballads to daydream with. Wish I could insert listening samples here!

1) Cassius 99 – Cassius

2) Signatune – DJ Mehdi

3) D.A.N.C.E – Justice

4) Good Luck – Basement Jaxx

5) Love is Gone – David Guetta

6) You Make My Dreams – Hall & Oates

7) Everything She Wants – Wham!

8) P.Y.T – Michael Jackson

9) Golden – Jill Scott

10) Gravity – Sara Bareilles

Hope you enjoy!
