connecting history to present day in photography

Published by

I love history. Without it we are a doomed society and although I do my part to preserve and respect all things historical, understanding that’s what defines civilization, it’s not enough. Everyone needs to do their part or else the future is more bleak than suggested at this day in time. Okay. I’m done standing on a soap box 🙂 – On a much lighter note, here are some amazing photographs expressing our connection to the past. Click here to see the rest of the photographs  

fashion: looks to copy

Published by

While I surf the internet for outfit ideas, I always stumble upon many ensembles I consider for myself. Although I click on where the pieces are from, I also prefer the challenge of recreating the outfits on a budget, from any number of my favorite department and boutique stores. Here are a few I am certainly going to copy, creating my own unique look: {click here and here for details of the outfits above}

ankle boots even for the summer

I’ve always loved ankle boots and wore them for years. But lately, I want to trade in my flats for the summer months for these ankle boots- we can afford to do that in San Francisco 🙂 – since the fog rolls in all summer, having us believe it’s really winter here. All booties can be found here

happy thoughts – the best therapy

I’ve been extra busy this week and by the time Friday rolled around, I couldn’t  believe it was already here. Anyway, if you are interested in finding out what’s made me busy, please click here. If you aren’t interested, then simply stare at the photo below and know that this happy thought keeps me going, no matter what. What keeps you going? Have a great weekend and I will see you here on Monday.

interior decor: appreciation of neomodern style

Published by

Some may argue the photos I’ve included are a collection of eclectic style and others may agree with me in considering the style neomodern (Neo Modern is just such a trend: mixing everything from midcentury elements to culty mysticism for a visual crescendo). Either way, I appreciate each space, subtly adding color and a mixture of elements and texture to create a uniquely inspiring space, which in my opinion, is a style that can last a lifetime.
