snippets of a weekend well-spent

i'm so behind on my blogging! these pictures are from last weekend when joe and i went on our little roadtrip down to san luis obispo, which is the town i'll be moving to for grad school in a few months. we went to find me an apartment (success!) and to explore the town, and we had a lovely time! none of these are really outfit shots, just some glimpses of our trip and things we did while we were there.

we stopped at an adorable fruit stand on the way down and loaded up on cherries, apricots, and nuts! perfect snacks for the drive :D

leftovers from our lunch at my new favorite restaurant.

all along highway 101, there are these old bells that mark the historical camino real, where all of the original california missions were. we also stopped at two actual missions on our trip!

at this second one, we found a tiny feathered friend inside (look closely!)

we also went to one of my favorite flea markets in alameda, and here is our haul for the day:

1. vintage honey tin 2. collection of old hankerchiefs to be used in an upcoming craft project 3. vintage floral buttons & resin earrings 4. antique lace to make detachable collar 5. old bottle (joe collects them) 6. vintage circle skirt

tonight i experimented with trimming my own bangs for the first time and they turned out wonderfully (if i do say so myself)! i was so nervous that i would ruin them, hehe! i also bought my tickets for the harry potter premiere! so excited!!!
