out west subconsciously different stimuli affect you
CA is not urban the way NY is, so that may be what is missing--the metallic-ness of living in NYC, on the East Coast in general, with its old industrial patina
even SF (tho' you're in the Bay area? Not SF proper?) feels dilapidated compared with NYC
so all this combined with the softness of CA living will raise your optimism, become less skeptical, cynical... CA is a siren of myth... follow Odysseus and strap yourself against its allure
oh espadrilles!! makes me want to jet off to spain...;)) oh but i do love the navy blue ones...or navy blue and white striped...that makes me think of my childhood. nancy ps true...there is a different feel to your blog since being in california...
I love this! I actually just purchased a pair of blue stripy canvas espadrilles. I am very excited to wear them every day for the rest of the summer. Before the snow comes and ruins my life...

ahh.....this makes me want to stroll the streets of cap d'antibes in a crisp linen dress. this is how i always want to imagine an espadrille.
even if you gave up all other shoes for these, i think you would still need a "sturdy" pair of leather sandals :)

I agree, great photos.
There is a site in the UK called www.espadrille.co.uk that has a select of striped espadrilles & ships worldwide.
