I have almost no words for how wonderful days like this one are--

walking down a leafy street with Rob by my side.

Sometimes I just feel like I belong in Richmond.

I would normally wear this shirt with some black leggings, no makeup, and my hair in an insane top-knot on a Sunday afternoon but, you know, we had to meet people for lunch.

Necklace: J.Crew

Shirt: Everlane

Pants: (a birthday gift from Rob!) Fox Head

Watch and Bag: same as always (Fossil and Coach, respectively).

Boots: super old (from Macy's, though).

  

The fog comes

on little cat feet.

It sits looking

over harbor and city

on silent haunches

and then moves on.

Election day yesterday reminded me of where I was four years ago, and it startled me to realize that I was already a junior in college at that time. The way I felt as I approached my senior year of college was so different from the way I feel now. 

No matter how fast time flies by, and as much as I loved everything I read in college, I always find myself going back to American poetry. Especially in the fall and winter, when it's cold and I feel nostalgic for the pages of my old Nortons.

There's just something there.

Before moving to Portland last year, one of Rob's friends said that he was going to start wearing fake eyeglasses. And do you know what we did? We made fun of him. Ha ha! What a silly idea. Except not really, because now I have fake glasses and I wear them around the house and sometimes I wonder if it would be weird to start wearing them all day, every day.

Woops! Sorry, Roy.

These are really fun.
