Anyway, it's been pleasantly warm in Southern California, even bordering on hot, so Grant and I decided to do some day time' splorin. The area where these old farm worker houses are is on the same grounds as a small library (hence the sudden jump to a library photo!) that opened up around two years ago. Afterward, we headed into the hills by Black Star Canyon (a purportedly VERY haunted part of Southern California) and found some streams and a creepy church but alas! No photos. Maybe if we go back...
OH and Grant saw a bald eagle just hanging out in a meadow while we were driving in the hills and I didn't believe him so we went back and he was right! They are incredibly rare to spot where I live so it was pretty cool seeing one, even though it was so far away.
Onward!
Grant has such a great eye. If it isn't obvious, all of the photos were taken by him
Who says you can't wear red and green outside of the holiday season?
and looky who got his hairs cut! If you live in Orange County and are looking for a great hair cut send me a message! My friend Robyn only charges $20 and she always does such a great job. She went to Paul Mitchell for hair dressing and is just the best :)
Dinosaur eggs!?

Love the belt with the socks - they light up the entire outfit. Also, nice feature on Modcloth. You are one articulate young lady.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you - your BF does have a great eye for photos. These are so well-executed. Following you now!
ReplyDeletelove the socks! i have a thing for patterned or colored socks and those green ones look great
ReplyDeleteAww, what a disappointment! :( Thank you for letting me know though, now I can stay away from them! I'm excited for spring too :) What sucks is that my body type makes lace look disgusting! So I'll see what I can find. Hopefully I'll find SOMETHING!
ReplyDeleteI love your skirt, and the way you wear shoes w/ socks. Only a few people can actually pull that off without looking like an old geezer, and you definitely are one of them ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd I love haunted places in Socal! My friends and I used to go to them all the time back in high school. Have you ever been to "gravity hill?"

I like the pop of color in your socks and belt!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the Modcloth feature! The boots are cute =)
P.s. Thank you for sending me that website. My bf is gonna loooove it! Thank you!
I love that the red and green you're wearing is muted in comparison to xmas colours! And that's so cool that you saw a bald eagle! xx
ReplyDeleteI saw your Modcloth blog post earlier today and I was so surprised and happy to see it. Congrats on making it to their blog!
ReplyDeleteThe weather has been so beautiful for the past two days. Today was ahhmaazing! It's so good to live in So Cal.

You're lucky you have crazy animals in the States, all we have here is birds, birds, birds.

Your outfit is lovely and so classy. You look like a sexy librarian. ;) You make southern CA sound so interesting and fun! I don't like the plastic glitzy LA, I want to discover its history and appreciate its culture like you do! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI like your top.
ReplyDeleteGrant really does have a great eye. These photos are stunning! I love the second one and as always I love your outfit.
ReplyDeleteAnthea,

simplistic and beautiful as can be!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe he cut his hair!
ReplyDeleteLove the shots on the porch and at the library :) and I am smitten with your green socks fringed brown shoe ensemble.
ReplyDeleteYay for your mod cloth feature. So agree with your tip re current trends :)
- i love how you used red & green but it wasn't Christmas-y.
ReplyDelete-I like all of these photographs. Lovely compositions. I think the 2nd one's my favorite but it's hard to choose!
- Congrats on the Modcloth feature! I saw it this morning & was pleasantly surprised. :D
- I play piano, sax, a lil guitar, the tin whistle (you can laugh at that one) and I kinda sorta sing... I'm trying to decide what song to record for you guys!!
I just love your library photo! Those green socks are so precious, too. That shade is one of my favorites. Everything in this look has such great details :)
