Z and I decided to explore the other side of the bay bridge a couple of weekends ago while the weather was warm and sunny. I had never seen the UC Berkeley campus before, so I asked Z to be my tour guide to show me the sights of this cute little college area. We walked through the campus and right away the early 20th century architecture of the buildings took my breath away. I wish I had the chance as an undergrad to attend a lecture in one of these beautifully constructed halls. There were so many squirrels scurrying around...one even decided to photo bomb the photo I took of Z! After wandering around campus for a while, we went to MARS vintage and I found the cutest 60's shift dress with a white peter pan collar and ruffle detail. I promise to take pictures of the dress soon after I alter the hem! After vintage shopping for me, we went to Amoeba records and spent the remaining afternoon perusing records and trying to decide what we wanted to add to our vinyl collection. Coffee, vinyl, and vintage...kind of cliché but definitely a nice way to end the weekend.

A couple of weekends ago, Z and I got a chance to stop by artMRKT at the Concourse Exhibition Center in SOMA and viewed work being displayed by galleries from all over the United States. With a fair portion of the art priced between several hundred to many thousands of dollars, SOMA seemed the appropriate setting with its gleaming skyscrapers and parvenu savor. The pictures below are just some of the multitudinous volume of  work at artMRKT.

Broken Love by Grisha Briskin

Cirrosa by artist Jessica Drenk who transforms familiar objects into patterns seen in nature.

Margaret Keelan’s uncanny sculpture Dancer in Red Dress

This last picture is one of my favorites. What may seem like some ubiquitous  American Flag artwork was actually small items (scissors, swiss army knives, lighters, etc.) that have been confiscated from various airline travelers. There were definitely some completely random items! Yay America!
