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 ...

White Out
Recently I've been practicing taking things slow and being more careful ...
I'm always afraid of wearing white due to how clumsy I can be ... hehe
Recently I've been practicing taking things slow and being more careful ... trying to be more lady like keeping my dress clean. I love the refreshing and clean feeling that wearing all white brings. It's one time when we can all feel a little more elegance about ourselves ....
While up on the Northern California coast we passed by this wonderfully aged barn. The rust and weathering gives things so much texture against the white misty fog. Driving by I was picturing myself wearing all white and running around. Here's a few photos from the scene I was picturing in my mind .... ;)
Hope you enjoy the inspiration ...

Into the Woods
Lately I've been feeling a draw back to nature ...
Lately I've been feeling a draw back to nature ... a little urge or itch to leave the city and adventure into the woods. To see more trees and greenery ... take in some of the refreshing coastal air and slow the pace of the weekend. It always makes me feel refreshed and re-energized each time I connect with nature.
Another uniform item Rob typically loves to wear is prints. Half of our closet is now filled with prints in all forms ... t-shirts, shorts, button-ups, pants ... most of them have a vacation theme. This one in particular is one of my favorites ... who doesn't love a Hula Girl?... :)
It brings back memories of the one time we got to visit Hawaii together ... hiking around the island in the mist and rain. I hope to go back there one day. Until then I guess I'll have to explore more of this wonderful coast.
Hope you enjoy...
Rob also made a mix theme retro vacation. Hopefully it helps you take a little retro vacation for awhile and keep you smiling :)

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 ...

Last week on our morning walk I was excited to wear this faux leather jacket. It's been in my closet for a quite a while and I haven't felt brave enough to wear it out.
I don't normally wear leather jackets ... It's a rarity that I could count on one hand ... :0
They're starting to grow on me though ... I've typically shied away because of feeling comfortable ... and often they are not. I don't want the look of a wannabe cool biker chick or an asian black leather burrito wrap. I was glad I had this jacket though, it got so windy and cold while at ocean beach as it often does ... they're so warm ... ;)
Jacket: Walter (on sale) Silk Tee: Vince (on sale) Texture Legging: Asos
Bag: Vintage Coach Sandals: Sam Edelman
This vintage coach bag is one of my favorites. It fits my Camera and an extra lens when I go for walks. What is your favorite bag? I have too many ... ;)
Ring: Alice & Leon Watch: Nixon The Kensington Hat: Monki Sunglasses: Acne Studios
I'm also glad I've got this hat to help with the wind and my hair ... not letting it fly around like a mad crazy women always trying to get her hair away from her face ... hehe...
Also, here is a tune we picked out that's been on the playlist lately ... we'll try and add more from time to time when we stumbled across them. Hope you like and thanks for reading ...

Sometimes

Rob has enjoyed making a lot of different breakfasts lately. This week it was yummy sausages and soft boiled eggs.
Here are a few of my new favorites Vagabond Shoes, Nixon Kensington Watch, Menu Weight Here Candleholder and iPhone Case White Mouse iPhone. You can see more of this outfit on sayhellomax.com.
We always pass by places on walks and this week we decided to sneak into one. Corona Heights Park was a nice easy and casual hike with a great view up at the top. It's nice to always get a different perspective or look onto San Francisco.
We also stopped in Potrero Hill and checked out this coffee house Front. Cool interior design and use of an old loading dock with yummy coffee.
We love projects so sometimes we swing by Building Resources to hunt some fun stuff to play around and get creative with. They have really great recycled materials, art displays, and all sorts funky finds.
Til next time...
