afternoon snapshots

calivintage: afternoon snapshots

i know i always share my outfit photos, but today i thought i might share some personal photos. i always have my camera with me, so i suppose it’s no surprise that i happen to take lots of little snapshots of the things i’m up to. not quite sure why i don’t share these types of photos more often!

anyway, this is a little peek at my neighborhood in the grand lake area of oakland. i live right on the border of the town of piedmont near morcom rose garden (which i have been talking about nonstop this week). on weekends, we usually stroll about these streets without thinking much about our surroundings, so sometimes it’s nice to just stop and enjoy the scenery. above: brendan toting around my market backpack and pendleton blanket (the latter was a surprise gift from him).

sammiches, books, and beer. i made these egg sammiches from a recipe i found on pinterest. i’m going to have to share because they were seriously perfection.

  2. Hi Erin,
    Thanks for sharing these! I actually live in adam’s point. were neighbors :) I used to carry my camera everywhere, but it is so heavy and bulk that I stopped doing it. I think you just inspired me to start doing it again. Thanks. It is going to be another beautiful weekend… I are off to brentwood for cherry picking.

  3. Nice to see such intimate images, very pretty. I was just raving about putting Sriracha on everything when I saw your photo. You obviously know what I’m talking about.

    1. seriously! it is good on everything. i used to always have tapatio in my fridge, but then i discovered that sriracha is pretty much always better. i really wish they would make an all-organic, preservative-free version of it so i wouldn’t have to feel quite so guilty about how much i consume…

  4. erin! i put sriracha on evvvverything! love it. also, if you want to check it out, i did a summer travel guide post on Lauren’s blog, blooming leopold, on everyone’s favorite town, Redlands! You should check it out and see if i left anything out :)

  5. Erin i am so jealous of the beautiful scenery you found yourself in, you seem to be having lots of fun!
    i was wondering if you already picked and contacted the winners of your lulu’s giveaway, since i didn’t see any post refering to it nor did i get any email i thought that maybe you didn’t pick the winner yet and that i may still win (ohhhhhhhh please please please). lol yeah i am fangirling about the lulu dresses.
    lol.
    hope that you find time to read this message and maybe reply and let us all know.
    unless you already blogged about it and i missed it.

  6. You’re right in my hood! I’m over on Crescent St. Hopefully if I bump into you on the street ever, I won’t be too shy to say hi! :)

  7. What a lovely little glimpse into your daily life, Erin! Thank you for sharing this with us. I do always love to see little posts like this on blogs where you really get a sense of the person and what their life is like. I try to do it on my blog, but I too often just post outfits. Maybe it’s because Orange County isn’t nearly as scenic as Oakland! Your neighborhood is darling!

    xoxo
