A Day in San Francisco...

A few weeks ago, Mr. Rugged & I drove across country to his hometown in Northern California...This was my first time visiting No-Cal and I absolutely loved it...so much that we are now planning on moving there (after our wedding next year.) The two of us spent a night at Pier 39 and Fishermans Wharf. I was happy to sample some of the world's most popular clam chowder (which is traditionally served in a sour-dough bread bowl...)
My thoughts of San Francisco...simply a dream.

Please visit my Fine Art Photography shop for additional photographs.

Mission 1: Check all local thrift shops for motercycle boots...similar to the ones above.

Mission 2: Order this dress in Navy Blue...ASAP (so I can live in it already...)

eternal sunshine...

The weather is turning much cooler but I don't find that a reason to stop enjoying the beach...with a few extra layers of warmth, one could easily still make a day of beach fun.
These hazy yet dreamy photographs are absolutely gorgeous. I used to have a pair of those striped toe knee-socks in grade school...so retro

There's Something about Mr. Rugged...

I hope your week is going great thus far...
I'm all smiles at the moment. Life is certainly an amazing thing and I must say...I have a lot of 'new positive things happening to me right now and feel like sharing more of my personal life with you.

For starters, I have a special guy in my life...(who shall remain nameless for now) let's just call him Mr. Rugged.....honestly I will admit, I had my doubts if I would ever meet such a great man...but I've been proven wrong and now I have this wonderful guy in my life...I feel blessed.
Also, I've been reading more, eating healthier and attempting to travel each weekend. Last weekend Mr. Rugged and I ventured off to Charleston, SC...we enjoyed a walking tour, ate crab soup and visited Kiawah Island, amongst other fun activities. It was perfect...I shall share additional photos of the trip in my next blog post...
Well that's all for now, I must re-heat my afternoon coffee and get back to work...

Loads of 'new' inventory in the shop...

take a look...

I found a couple of lovely cardigans for the shop...
Stop by a take a look...Also, I'm happy to announce that Mod Human Vintage is now sponsoring Much Love blog for the month of August!

2 kelly bags...

Today was another day of production...cleaning, photo snapping and writing descriptions...these two handbags (above) are now available in the shop...with one more which will be added by tonight.
