Rodarte Redwoods

Spring fashion is so exciting! Ask me my favorite designer and I'll probably answer with something like: Every designer's Spring collection is my favorite! It makes sense since I'm from California, where the weather is generally pleasant always. And, since I would like to think of this as a lifestyle blog rather than a fashion blog, I give to you... Rodarte Spring 11!!! (Even though they're about to show Fall)

When I heard the Mulleavy sisters had taken their Spring '11 inspiration from Northern California and the redwoods my cabin was surrounded by, a little seed must have been planted in me. It's been months since, and I can feel myself becoming increasingly enthusiastic about these ladies I was already a fan of because they are from California!

This Spring I will keep the Rodarte aesthetic in mind when I am updating my wardrobe.

Cabinology

Cabinology: I lived in a cabin in a redwood forest for three years (2003-2006) while I was an Art major at UCSC. A large portion of my soul developed in that cabin. I fostered sick cats for the Santa Cruz SPCA, painted, drew, studied health food, hiked, read, listened to records, and became known by my landlords as "Cabin Girl."
