Bike to Work Day 2009

(thrifted Paolo Santini silk jacket, ribbed tank & skirt are old stuff I've had forever,
H&M leggings, wedgie shoes are DIY thrifted, RidingPretty helmet cover and my vintage 1960's Raleigh bicycle)

Here's what I was wearing today for Bike2Work Day. I admit I did spruce myself up a bit extra today since I knew I'd be encountering/meeting all sorts of people out and about enjoying all the events and fun that Bike2Work day brings with it. This picture is after the morning ride. Hey, I love helmet hair because in my case it flattens down my bangs in a way I actually like.

What a surprise, someone actually turned the tables on me and wanted to take my picture for a change... But wait!! I'm the one always going up to people asking for their photo! Well lets see if the mobile phone picture ever really gets emailed to me. In the meantime I coerced my BF into take this photo of me.

Hope everyone is having a really great Bike To Work Week!!!!!

Bike2Work Day !

This morning' s late breakfast club (the 9am to 9:30 arrivers) seen here at the Energizer station Downtown Santa Cruz...

Cute legging look

Fresh!...stripes t-shirt, aqua collotes, black leggings

Totally loving the pink 'candy cane' stripped romper jumpsuit. She is the first rider I've spotted in a romper this year so far.



The little guy wants to know if his bike ride is okay... bike mechanics were on hand to check out your ride

Checking in...and wearing a great plaid skirt

Roll on in

Free juice!

Time to relax and read the Santa Cruz Sentinel

{sentimental}

Being hopelessly sentimental can sometimes result in clutter and always means searching for inspirational storage ideas . . .

. . . wicker baskets beneath the bed are ideal for keeping extra blankets, bed linens and winter sweaters

. . . a wire basket beneath the coffee table is the perfect place to store beautiful design books

Looking Back

Well, my friends, today was a good day of getting organized.
I cleaned my Studio! You should see it; it's all shiny and clean.
I thought of a little concept for a short film, if i ever get time, i want to make it.
The drawing tonight is out of Volume 2 of my Character Sketchbook.
For some reason, i really like how it turned out
It's kinda simple but the lines in it just seem right. :)
i hope you like it!
and i hope you all are having a great night or day (depending on where you are ;)

don't act surprised

{karl lagerfeld photography + the winner is:}

Immediately fell for Karl Lagerfeld's photography after discovering the lovely {Harper's Bazaar editorial} at Versailles and of course, the stunning {ad campaigns} for Chanel.

These beautiful photographs of billowy, gauzy white dresses against wonderfully ornate backdrops are perfect for today's sunny mood . . .
