i'm leaving this week...

***

it's (back) to new york city we go...my little family and i!
it has been a fun adventure for my family out here in the wild wild west, for these past two and a half years, but to put a twist on the old song, we REALLY "left our hearts" in new york [not san francisco!], so it's back to the east coast we go, this coming saturday!
things may be a be a bit thinner on the blogging front for the next couple weeks, as we wrap things up here in san francisco, find permanent digs in new york city, and settle into our new place.
i'm going to blog when i can/if i can, but i can't promise anything, of course. :) i have a feeling we'll be quite busy.
see you on the other side (of the country)!

p.s. much love to those of you i'm leaving behind here on the west coast, and to all the superbly sweet people i met and ran into out here. you are wonderful! i love you and will miss you. of course, you know where to find me...i'm only an email or short plane ride away! look me up if you're ever in new york. :)

serial cultura: (pretty) prints

(images via serial cultura)

some print-emblazoned frocks and such from the serial cultura spring 2009 collection, brainchild of san francisco bay-area designer jennifer jennings. the complex geometries of her textile designs meet the simple, yet thoughtful designs of the frocks on which they live, and the results are, as you can see, stunning.
