color theory lesson

When I have free time after watching Project Runway I love looking into the newest fashions from the guest judges.. mostly to find their most ridiculous new looks... stuff that I am sure Micheal Kors would make fun of if it came down the runway. Last show Tory Burch was the guest judge and she criticized Amy's "child and grown-up" look saying "I’m not sure that blue and orange are complementary." This was funny to me for two reasons, I remember learning in art class that blue and orange are, in fact, complementary colors.. and because of Tory Burch's new Spring 2010 tulip print matching separates outfit (which I am sure is undoubtedly high fashion) ... just seems ridiculous. I would actually prefer to wear Amy's "clown" pants if given the choice. In the meantime I will brush up on color theory and continue checking out the latest looks coming down the runway.

Ventura Pier at sunset

Does the above movie shot look familiar? It doesn't really do the pier justice, but I love watching that movie just to see Hollywood turn Ventura into Redondo Beach.

Due to little storms coming and going, the Ventura sky has been particularity stunning, and Saturday evening Tim and I got a great a beautiful sunset behind the Ventura Pier during our beach walk at C Street.











a few more off Elle at Campus Point


finally our new camera!

We finally got the camera we have been talking about buying forever! We were so excited to use it this morning with the most beautiful backdrop... UCSB! We took a little walk down Isla Vista memory lane, visiting the on-campus dorms, drove by KKG, checked out the new engineering buildings, Tim's old pad on Sabado, ate breakfast burritos from Cantina, saw numerous friends former homes that we vaguely remembered from late nights, and took a beautiful sunrise walk down to campus point. We didn't see any Snowy Plovers so we let Elle off leash so she could romp in the ocean. These two pictures of Elle shaking her head after some wave jumping are exactly why I love this new camera!
