anyway, in honor of the unseasonably cold weather we’re experiencing here in california, i decided to go out and stand in front of some interesting cacti and succulents. they look so pretty, but i’m sure they’re feeling just as cold as i am out here. though i do have an extra layer of smart wool socks hidden underneath my riding boots, so i’m doing just fine. the only thing i wish i had was a nice pair of vintage gloves. maybe in a lipstick red, no?
i kinda really need to do some shopping. hopefully this weekend! besides looking for new clothes and accessories, we really need to get some heavy curtains for the apartment. like most buildings in the area, our apartment has zero insulation and the same creaky old windows that were built with the house back in the 20’s. this means that when it actually does hit freezing here like it did last night, we all get a little too chilly indoors!

vintage striped dress, ebay
skinny belt, urban outfitters

I love the look of the taller socks underneath the shorter boots. I should have done that today, too!
I have a question: what are some of your favorite thrift stores in SF? I'm looking for a few good ones.
How are you wearing that right now? I am in Berkeley at this very moment and I'm freeeeezing.
you got such a good picture of the hummingbird :) I love your blazer, I've been looking everywhere for one but no luck!

Adorable outfit, I love the socks.
your haircut is just so cute!
