 Welcome Hey there, thanks for stopping by! Welcome to my little corner of the internet, my place to share my voice and photography. In case you don't know me, I am Sara (that's me to the left, the one without a big white furry coat). I am a photographer based in the San Francisco Bay area, California. I LOVE my work, and you will see a bit of that sneaking in here. I also use this as a place to share other parts of my life. You will find adventures, food and little tidbits about my life with my darling husband and our two fat cats.  Please feel free to have a look around and even leave me a note. I would love to hear from you!

The color of fashion
01.03.10
It is true. I am hopeless when it comes to all things fashion. I hate to shop, I get overwhelmed by all of the choices around me. I can not stand the mall. I know, I am a weirdo. However, a few friends have taken it upon themselves to show me how much fun fashion can be. And of all places, they have managed to introduce me in a place called Athlon in the Cape Flats. This is not exactly known as the fashionistas haven, in fact, it is somewhat of a shady area. You would be amazed at the treasures we found!

We spent over an hour in a single shop looking through piles and piles of silk skirts made from old Saris. In the beginning I was pretty sure I wasn't going to be able to find a single thing for myself. I walked out with seven skirts.

So, I guess shopping can be fun. The recipe: four girls, lots of colors and laughter. I might be able to get used to this, or I might have a wardrobe that is comprised solely of silk skirts.

Hehehe... I suppose I can't go around just wearing skirts! THe nice thing about Cape Town is that most of the time I am running around in a bikini and don't require a top. That might not fly in California though!

I think you're right tops, might to over rated. And you may get a tad cold... but I know you can handle it, right? Enjoy the few last days of warm weather. It's chilly back here. Can't wait to see your new skirts.
