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 ... ;)

Whenever we get to take walks along the coastline, it makes me think of being at at the edge of the universe. Standing on the cliffs and looking out into an endless body of water. It makes me think about all the possibilities and wonders that have been created in this world ... both naturally and manmade. It helps my imagination grow and reminds me that anything is possible.
I wanted to introduce our little buddy Koda ... he is one of our friend's cute little dogs staying for a short visit. Each time I look at him, I imagine him speaking with a strong british accent and sounding like a wise old grandfather with his white little beard. He loves to take his time while we walk ... investigating everything along the way ... checking each little sound he hears and hidden corner we pass. I really think he has human thoughts just like you and me ... ;)
It's always a guessing game trying to predict bay area weather. There are so many micro climates allowing you to pick and choose what fits your mood. Living in SF for the passed several years I've learned to go out prepared. One of our favorite getaways for a short walk is Rodeo Beach and Fort Cronkhite. It's too often that you become both warm and cold within a same minute, but it always such a treat with the wonderful views that you get to enjoy.
Here are some photos taken with two lenses, using my Nikon D300s, lenses 18-200mm and 85mm ...

I've only had a few posts featuring looks of myself, but I'm beginning to learn more...
I've only had a few posts featuring looks of myself, but I'm beginning to learn more about the outfits I really enjoy wearing and make me feel good. I've determined I'm a hat person ... because they are always on my mind. I tend dress up like ninja fairly often too. All while allowing my inner rapper to still show his face every once in a while ... lol
Earlier this year I decided to set a goal for myself of only wearing monochrome outfits. Allowing for some brown or skin tone colors, but focusing mainly on only black and white. Choosing from only these basic colors and tones, it's been interesting how I've slowly developed a stronger love of texture and pattern ... allowing me to focus more on all the mini aspects of the design.
I also enjoy the mix and match my outfits game. Laying them all out and seeing what works ... just making a small change to one piece of an outfit can make all the difference. Don't forget about the details ... they're the most fun part :)
What about you?
I hope you enjoy too ...
