If I'm not in my home base of Oakland, I can typically be found at the beach. It's funny, as there's this entire amazing city (San Francisco) that sits between me and the coast of the Pacific, but my time spent there is rather seldom these days. Oakland feels like home, whereas the chilly neighborhood that sits by Ocean Beach feels like my home away from home. When not in it's typical fog blanketed stated, the light from the sea's great reflection makes for some incomparably beautiful days. It's a place where I'm surrounded by people and things that I love and where I can simply relish in the little joys that life has to offer. After being land locked for so many years, taking a 20 minute car ride to the ocean still gives me that righteous energy that I can only compare to that of a little kid about to take a seriously fun vacation.
You definitely have the best of both worlds out there lady. Loving these cute yet casual getup.

Love the colors in your vintage striped turtleneck. In my opinion, not enough gals are rockin vintage turtlenecks. You look adorable in yours; I have a pretty crazy collection myself. Living by the beach is an ideal situation, I must agree. I can't wait for a warm beach day.
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet pictures! I love the van in the background! I got engaged in San Fran in 2011 and it will always hold a special place in my heart. Lovely boots and striped top as well!

You match perfectly…everything you wear…… you certainly make a super statement..... and your hair is so gorgeous, my hair is long as well, but you wear yours sooooo gorgeous.....it works perfect for you
I grew up in tights, being in ballet for 13 years. In fact, mom raised me rather androgynously, so I also wore tights under big sweaters and hip length tunics and such around the house growing up. Your lovely look reminds me of all those days….epsecially when the delivery man would come and I’d meet him at the door and he’s refer to me as Miss……
Oh, by the way, I’m a guy…and I love fashion as much as I love dance.
I traveled in Europe this past fall,
It looks like you have the same affinity for tights as I have…..
I’ve been raving to my new friends about how much I love the tights/shorts look, so they encouraged me to try it myself…
and I have in a big way,….. denim cutoffs, high waisted shorts, even a romper…….
I will following your blog religiously….. thanks for sharing your lovely taste and your beauty
