tuesday’s girl: little surfer.

it was super warm and sunny here this weekend and everyone was running around the city barely clothed. we san Franciscans tend to do that – the second the fog lifts and there’s even a spot of sunshine, out come the flip flops, the skimpy dresses and sunscreen. i thought for this tuesday’s girl we’d look at the carefree chic of surfer style. i think it’s more of mindset and mental attitude than anything, and perhaps we all have an inner gidget lurking in there somewhere.

down by the seashore.

i think all the rain this weekend in san francisco has got me seeking sunshine. and, after spending some glorious days in the warm weather down in palm springs, i was ready for a little more, but this time in the guise of some time down by the seashore. who doesn’t relish some time away alone, tucked in cozily at a beach cottage? here’s an idea of what i’d like my beach cottage to look like – comfy, with a fresh, clean vintage-modern twist.

oh, and happy, happy friday.

i hope y’all are enjoying these last few lingering days of summer. time to treasure them, until the next season is soon upon us.
as my friend and assistant, katie told me the other day, “Relax the best way that you can, and enjoy this fleeting moment for whatever it is, exactly the way it is right now.”
