The Little Cracks

It's always nice to have an off day with no plans....

It's always nice to have an off day with no plans.  It's a free day when you can go explore anywhere and see what new experiences and situations you can find.  As you know we really enjoy looking around and investigating old buildings ... with all their cracks, character, and accidental beauty.  One particular spot we stop at pretty consistently is Urban Ore in Berkeley.  A pickers paradise of old building materials, books, electronics, etc ... it's always a good place to get inspiration and every once in a while ... find a cute vintage diamond in the rough.  

While exploring the alleys we came across this simple and aged property.  Seeing all the cracks and lines ... it reminded me of the sweater I was wearing.  Having the lines in my sleeves pair with the imperfections of the doors and walls behind me.  Hope you enjoy the inspiration ... ;)

What do you like to do when you have no plans?

Lines

When I was drawing in art school ... one topic I found so much fun and challenging was lines and shapes.  I enjoyed learning how to combine repetitious lines and other forms ... creating symmetry and pattern into my art.  

When I see graphical patterns or lines ... it reminds me how much I appreciate these designs and the flow they have.  Thinking about each of the separate pieces and the form produced ... giving a different sense of movement to the piece when you wear it .... it also makes things so much more fun too ... ;)

Hope you enjoy the outfit ...

Hot Summer

While I've lived in San Francisco, the weather always seem to
be a little more colder...

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.
