august inspiration
… While perusing the Sartorialist (new site design!) yesterday I came across these two lovely ladies, in pretty much the perfect August city-explorer outfits ever. Cue the bold color (pink!), fisherman sweater, gladiator sandals and maxi skirts and loose plain-front shorts. All with a touch of just-rolled-out-of-bed relaxed attitude. Swoon!

Happy official Summer everyone! I am so in love with this weather we’re having – it’s almost too good to be true for the traditionally summer challenged SF. Unfortunately, I am currently in L.A., and while I am of course still in the sun, it is kind of sad to be missing this daily view…
lady of the sea
Sometimes I just don’t understand why I wasn’t born a mermaid (in fact, sometimes I think I was one in a past life). Alas, as a current lady of the land I can only dream, and dress like one occasionally (cue prom dress, halloween costume, and this outfit)… I love the watercolor mermaid tail effect of this…
