roadtrip

we took a road trip from sf to florida in june. it was my first cross country road trip and it was pretty amazing! we attended our second bonnaroo in manchester, tennesee, its by far the best music festival i have been to. some highlights of the show would be snoop dogg, david byrne, andrew bird, bon iver, animal collective and girl talk. from there we camped at st. josephs peninsula in florida, which was absolutely gorgeous, but was extremely humid and infested with mosquitoes. so i would recommend not going in the summer! next stop was new orleans, which i fell in love with! it's such a old and enchanted city. live music, delicious food, obscure record stores, affordable antique shops and friendly people. off to austin where we spent most our time at barton springs, where i would build a treehouse and live if i could. our last stop were the carlsbad caverns in new mexico, it was surreal. here are some of my favorite food spots along our trip!

Green Dog Designs

I was doing a shoot for Soma Magazine, for their Street Pulse section, the theme was stylish San Francisco people and their pooches. That is where I met Priscilla, one of the owners of Green Dog Designs, and Uni, her black pug. Uni was wearing a stylish vintage vest that I fell in love with. When I asked Priscilla about where I could find one for Penelope she said she made it. She told me about her company and that all the dog outfits are handmade from vintage and organic materials! What a great concept, so simple and cute!





Here is the photo from Street Pulse with Priscilla and Uni. Oh and I just love her pants and her style! She is also a tailor at Al's Attire in SF, where they specialize in custom clothing.

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.

I just have to share my gorgeous painting of our french bulldog, Penelope aka Penny.  My incredibly talented friend, Ariane Bartosh, painted it for us!  You can get one of your own from her at I heart Ariane.  

I think Im in love now...

I stumbled across the most amazing wedding video shot from a super 8 camera on Cup of Jo.   What a beautiful way to capture your wedding day!
