I've been going through a simple floral phase lately. I feel like I do arrangements with so many elements sometimes, all beautiful but every now and then all you need is some yellow ranunculus, red sweet pea and oak.

and I've been loving chicken avocado pizza, perfect for summer weather

I really want to see this film too!

Outerlands

Last week some friends showed me a new restaurant, Outerlands, in the outer sunset (45th and Judah) and I can't get enough of it! Owned by a young couple with an adorable baby, all wood interior, beer served in mason jars, fresh country flowers around-so beautiful. 

Tonight I went back again and had carrot soup, braised greens and their homemade levin with roasted garlic. I definitely recommend it! It's so unique to have such a cute place all about sustainable and fresh cuisine without a super gentrified attitude. 

Just simple and sweet! check them out...

For some reason this completely explains how I've been feeling all year

Just back from a week long road trip (5 states in 6 days) to Texas for South by Southwest with Barn Owl

Sadly I lost the photographs I took of beautiful southern homes and wisteria 

that made me think of ladies drinking mint juleps on their porches

but we did go swimming in the river, 

to a country party at the Broken Spoke (one of Willy Nelson's favorite spots), 

and saw a lot of big big skies.

comme des garcons

there's something very erie about Rei Kawakubo's collections

like a ghost you might see in the corner of your eye

walking down the street or in the shadow of a hallway

I have to admit I'd totally wear that veil around if I had it in me

my hands feel like they might fall off from doing transcription work all week,

today was sunny and full of energy

so

I went down to get a salted caramel and meyer lemon ice cream cone

irish lace

someday my poor future children will have to wear these daily.
