NATURE: Sunset, 75 Degree High, Jan 15, 2011

Yesterday was a beautiful 75 degree January day...one of those days that warms the soul and one of the many the reasons I live in San Diego. This photo was taken at D Street in Encinitas. ♥

MUSIC: Everest Concert, Jan 11, 2011

Everest, an indie rock band, played Tuesday, Jan 11, 2011 at the Belly Up in Solana Beach, CA. Epic show and such a fun evening. Caught some pretty good pics. Video lacks good sound quality (so turn volume down) but gives a good vibe of the band and the show. ♥

FASHION: Celine, Pre-Fall 2011

Celine Pre-Fall 2011
I am not just amazed by Phoebe Philo, but the fact that she gets it every single time. Just want to share a few of my favorites. Fur vest, denim patchwork, leopard + leather, jumpsuits. And the clutches with the fur tail. Love, love, love! Enjoy! ♥

ART: First Post, Colored Pencil Drawing

I am so excited about this being my first post and thought about what would capture the very essence of this blog. Well, this is a drawing I did with colored pencils about 4 years ago. It's reflects that beauty begins on the inside and only then is reflected on the outside. Hence the name of my blog, Branch and Root, which is an embodiment of lifestyle:
mind + body + spirit
fashion + beauty
art + music
travel + discovery
books + film
activities + doing
I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy sharing it. Much love! ♥
