this was my "beach" outfit one day in fort bragg. i took these photos in front of the little house we stayed in. i'll show you the place in my next post, it was really charming and cozy.   i thrifted  the dress a few weeks ago... another one of those things i would NEVER have considered until the preggert belly.  it is not a maternity dress, it's an 80's dress.... horizontal stripes? stretchy slim fit long dress? HA HA, yeah right! but i have to admit it is one of my favorite looks so far for showing off the belly!  crazy how that works. we went to Point Cabrillo Lighthouse .  after a pretty little walk past deer grazing in meadows, you come to the lovely historic lighthouse and grounds that been carefully preserved to reflect a hundred years of loving use. sadly, this park is one of the california state parks slated to be closed down . we need to fight for our beautiful places  and heritage! here is one of th...

being pregnant is so much fun. i am determined to be creative while getting dressed; like i mentioned before i am trying not to contribute to the consumerist wheel of pregnancy and also to not really even wear "maternity" clothes. these last few weeks i've had a great time dressing to accommodate my belly as she really sprouts! my sis sent over a whole pile of dresses from her own personal collection that she thought might work well for my growing belly. it was so fun, like getting a temporary new wardrobe!  addie has really cute style , often mixing flowy vintage pieces with stylish boots and headbands . or sometimes throwing in a little pinch of punk rock. or just giving it a little something all hers alone, like a fanny pack , 90's sundress , knee socks, layers. 26 weeks pregnant last week, in a pretty bohemian dress from addie: this little baby is still my number one. it is really hard. you're not supposed to...

26 weeks! i hope it's not sounding like blah, blah, blah to you all! i am seriously fascinated with my own pregnancy and others' and new babies... it's embarrassing! i eat, drink and breathe pregnancy. i wanted to try not to let this happen. i DO still read books and go to work and watch good films and sometimes even think about other stuff. but really this baby is the truest part of me right now. so here goes the last bit of my pregnancy compendium. i'm sure i'll think up other topics that were supposed to fit earlier in the alphabet, so maybe later toward the last weeks i'll do some odds and ends. nesting : i am a nester by nature :) and i'm not just talking cleaning and organizing my nest, i'm talking also building my nest. my equivalent of a bird's gathering bits of string and paper and hair and twigs are my trips to the thrift stores. also people keep giving me stuff and i have to find a way to store them! so i bought an...
