the drive back from ojai last weekend yielded many impromptu stops along the way...

hearst castle, san simeon, ca
(bling central 1930s style)

dinner at il vecchio 

(where you can devour a delicious italian meal while gawking at ariele's incredible woodwork)

beach at carmel, ca
(cold + windy, but that sand is so clean + soft)

more pics from this day... varied terrain, don't you think?

i did some damage at esqueleto. but thankfully, my middle finger is now properly stacked. from top to bottom:

+  silver razor ring w/ black diamonds by t.kahres
+  two braids by katrina lapenne
+  rosegold band w/ black diamonds by lauren wolf (owner of esqueleto)
+  textured band by satomi kawakita
