Shapes

When I was little, I use to play this game with my mom growing up.  We would just look around the room, trying to find all kinds of different shapes and patterns.  Looking into every corner or little nook and cranny ... finding cracks along the wall and tracing where they went.  Using our imagination to create as many shapes and sizes within the room as we could.  I do wish I had a camera back then ... I wonder how many more photos I would have taken ... hehe

I still play this game alone in my head when I get the opportunity to visit new and interesting places.  I find myself especially doing this in any place desert or mountain.  They are both places where you can create infinite shapes and loops ... tying them together and extending them for as far as the eye can see.  Since we were in the mood of playing dress up, I  started to put on some funky prints to merge my outfit  into the inspirational shapes around me.  Here's a few pictures from our little stop off in the desert.  Hope you enjoy ...

Melting Away

Whenever I see big rocks and sand, all I tend to think about is the Flintstones ... the modern day twist on stone age living.  How they have and keep their home ... and the outfits they wear.  Such a simple and rustic way they live their life with imaginative modern conveniences.  I always enjoy those vintage hand drawn cartoons from the past.  They are so less realistic than todays ... having to be more creative and imaginative.    

Being there also makes me think I'm on a Safari ... inspiring me to wear things that I can camouflage, or in this heat ... melt into the nature.  If I stand still enough maybe the animals won't notice me? ... haha

It almost makes me feel that we are having a little costume party with nature for a hot second.
( ^-^ ) ...

While feeling like I'm melting from the steamy sun ... and day dreaming of my ice tea (extra ice) at the homestead cabin ... I really did enjoy trying to melt my outfit into the rocks and become a part of the desert scenery that is always so beautiful to me. 

Hope you enjoy ... can't wait to share more photos of our other stops too ...

Hot Summer

While I've lived in San Francisco, the weather always seem to be a little more colder than usual. I always find myself not sure of what to pack or wear when I travel to warmer places. This past weekend, my husband and I went for a mini road trip down to San Diego for our lovely friends wedding.

Wow ... the weather is so much warmer than the bay area. I roasted my leg and arm for a bit while I was there ... oopss

Here's a few snapshots from our trip and one of my outfits from this week to share with you guys.
