Nothing says spring like a closet full of dark clothing... we jest. However, whatever the season, you will find us sporting a neutral - and most likely a dark neutral - with every single outfit.  Today is a classic blue sky, yet breezy and quite chilly bay area day on both sides of the bay - even our beloved "sunny side" home, Oakland. Sunglasses and long sleeves are a must.  Our most beloved, beautifully worn in and faded to a deep slate perfection Levi's Made and Crafted jeans were freshly laundered, so we were obviously going to wear those (again) and our Banana Republic vegan leather, jet black sweatshirt - fresh from the dry cleaner - was hanging, looking quite pretty might we add, on the closet door.  Born out of convenience - and honestly, what was clean - ladies and gentlemen, meet the base of our neutral on neutral outfit.  It's no secret, we heart Vans.

Home for the weekend // Marshall beach, Tomales bay, Point Reyes, Marin, California. The only wildlife we usually consume is a quick jog around Lake Merritt which at its most challenging involves dodging an aggressive seagull or two. It's pretty safe to declare that we are far from being the "camping type" or game for rugged, outdoor activity. Though a few years of avoiding tents and sleeping bags gave us, the toughest/softest of city dweller's, an itch that only a night of remote beach camping could scratch. Just think of it, soft sand between your toes, the faint taste of salt water on your lips, the intoxicating lure of a camp fire, bioluminescence  sparkling in the night bay... it sounds good right?
