A thursday throwback to last May and a sunny day in tennessee. hiking around radnor lake is one of my favorite things to do when visiting nashville. the trails are beautiful and there's always an abundance of interesting wildlife to see, turtles, deer and snakes oh my! it's a great escape only minutes from the city. wearing: shorts - vintage levis via urban outfitters, tee - topshop, sneakers - nike, bag - american eagle

on the road day 24 - did i leave my heart in san francisco?

san fran. first thing in the morning we left our union square hotel for the mission and tartine. i've heard numerous, glorious raves over tartine and although it's breakfast and chocolate loaf was lovely it left me a little underwhelmed. in fact, that's how i felt about san francisico in general, a little disappointing. looking back it wasn't that the city didn't have a lot of great points, the food was good, beautiful scenery etc. etc. it was that in my mind i expected magic, that energy that so many songs were written about... but i didn't find it. maybe i needed more time in the city, someone to show me around or perhaps i should have seen my boys, the giants (congrats on the world series, you guys definitely had that magic) play... that said these are the highlights: pictures in front of all the landmarks, alcatraz and the full house street (my boyfriend could not get over the fact that people were re-enacting the famous opening scene and just freaking out over the spot in general, i on the other hand understood that it was mecca of pop culture), lunch at super duper burger and hanging around cow hollow, riding the cable cars, spotting dylan mckay's ride, and dinner at delfina.

on the road - day22 part 2 - big sur

one of the things i was most looking forward to on our road trip was big sur, forever a place that had magical connotations for me, wild & romantic. the complete opposite of most tourist towns, no big chains, just independent hotels and a general store. we spent the day a pfeiffer beach, watching the waves and the seals. pfeiffer is even more special because it's at the end of a twisted, narrow unmarked road and the then boom the most gorgeous beach appears, sure it was ridiculously windy, but the beauty could not be denied. the rest of the day was spent tucked away amongst the redwoods at deetjens. the perfect miss-mach of cabins and rustic rooms, with wood stoves and little courtyards, deetjens is like stepping back in time. no locks on the doors, no cell service, no internet, just a million stars and good company. we stayed in the "new room" and my only regret was only having one night there. i will be back, it was a little slice of heaven.

wearing as before, vintage levis shorts, wildfox jumper, oakley frogskins, tiffany chain and crystal necklace

on the road - day 22part 1 - the p.c.h.

the drive to big sur was too epic not to document thoroughly, so day 22 will be in two parts, the drive and big sur itself. definitely the most beautiful part of the roadtrip 2012, there was a never ending need to photograph ever vista, these were some of my favourite shots. the crazy elephant seals, gorgeous coastline, wild flowers and even a california condor sighting.
