black & white

Here are a few photos I recently got back. They were taken on my old 70s Pentax on regular old black and white non-professional film but they came out alright.

Happy Friday (or Saturday) to you! I thought I would change things up a bit post wise; take the spotlight off me and my sartorial adventures for a minute and, instead, share with you a few things I've been enjoying recently! here we go...

MOONRISE KINGDOM

more photos from the mountians...

I've been extremely busy this week (incidentally, stay tuned for an extra special post I've been working on for Monday!) and, as a result, I am atrociously behind with posting more of the photos from our trip to Idaho.

I am excited to announce that the 2012 Issue of the Australian Magazine Vintage Affair has arrived AND look who is on the cover... me and "the Brit"!

Despite the aforementioned puffy face (due to terrible allergies) on our last day in the mountains of Idaho I asked "the Brit" take a few blog photos for me. The weather was incredible the whole time we were there - particularly lucky because the forecast had not been a pretty sight.  Alas, we managed to avoid even the slightest hint of rain! 

 

I really love going on trips on or around my birthday and since "the Brit" had never been to Idaho (where my family has a place) when it was not covered in snow it seemed like a very good plan. We spent most of the trip taking photos in the wilderness with proper film cameras (I hope to post the fruits of our labors soon!), driving around, hiking a bit, eating delicious food and just being lazy. Oh and I did manage to hop on a bike once or twice. Here is the evidence...

All in all I would say (wrenched allergies aside) it was a very successful escape from old Los Angeles. Oh, and the pups came too! The best thing about their tiny size is they are oh so easy to put into a carrier and bring along on short trips.

outfit notes:
romper - american apparel
shoes - vintage 

PS: I meant to mention this in my last post but a big Happy 1 Year Anniversary! to the Loved One shop in Pasadena. I cannot believe it has been a year since this post.  If you live in LA and you haven't been yet you are missing out!

birthday week!

I am traveling today after a little birthday trip extravaganza to the mountains but I wanted to pop in and say hello (my birthday was actually yesterday but I'm celebrating all week because...why not! ;). We took loads of photos which I will hopefully be posting very soon! Thanks to everyone for the birthday emails/tweets/comments/texts!


Incidentally, excuse my puffy face in the photo below - I had atrocious allergies ( to blooming cottonwoods) and as a result squinty little eyeballs! :) 

 

hope you all had a nice weekend!  x djrd
