Oh hello there

Oh hey guys! It's been a while. San Francisco has been crazy lately! Crazy good, crazy changes, crazy everything. So, I'm home in Namibia for a couple weeks catching up. I'll share some shots from a camping trip we took soon. 

Whenever I'm home I dress more like Indiana Jones than anything else, but it's been really nice having this dress to pop on. It arrived in the mail right before I left and I'm stoked I chucked it in my suitcase!

It felt like summer arrived this weekend, it was sunny and warm enough to leave your jacket behind. I spent all Sunday outside with friends, dodging drunk folks dressed in green.

Free People sent me this sweet Fedora last week, i've been wearing it a lot, it makes me feel like i'm channeling my inner explorer. Funny how throwing on a hat can make you feel transformed. Free People made this cute video to go along with their new collection. Check it out!

grateful dead

Here are a couple of firsts for you! First time heidi braids and first time tie-dye shirt. I need more of both in my life. This blouse was a $2 thrift store experiment turned everyday staple, it came out a little Grateful Dead, but I have big plans in the pipeline.

This weekend is looking pretty epic, i'm headed to The White Elephant Sale over in Oakland on Sunday. That magical sale was one of the first things I ever blogged about, and now I am tripping out on a trip down memory lane.

Merica

Hello hello and happy belated valentines! I'm not really one for celebrating the day of lurve but it does mark the day I moved to the states. I've been here FIVE YEARS now, which is crazy, lots has happened but it still feels like yesterday I was plodding through the rain in Edinburgh.

Oh yeah, more instagram photos of my feet. It's been rainy the past few days which has been awesome, i've had some much needed, guilty free, zoning out in my bedroom time.  @islabell 

John Paul Trlica

I recently stumbled upon John Paul Trlica's photography. He had a studio in Granger, Texas from 1909 into the mid-1950s. He took portraits of nearly everyone in the area and documented family, business, and community activities. As a result his photographs give you a real feel for what life was like in central Texas in those days. All photographs from Harry Ransom Center.

Football

It's the Super Bowl this weekend. I'm not big on sports but I do like how everyone gets together for this one. I found this photo of an American Football Team from the late 1890s, isn't it amazing.
