Levi's®

new ink

Before leaving San Francisco, I wanted a special tattoo to always remember my time at Levi’s and all the awesome experiences they have given me. To see what I got visit my personal blog!

yesterday’s gone

I can’t believe it has been six months since I arrived in San Francisco to work as The Levi’s Girl. I remember looking ahead with trepidation thinking the remaining 5 months, 4 months, 3 months were so long of a time. It was really scary back then, not knowing how I would spend my time and if I would return to my same life back in New York. I look back now and wonder where the time went.

I know this experience will be with me forever, not just professionally but emotionally. I have never felt so desperate and so alive at the same time. So lonely yet proud of myself. None of this has been in vain- I am so much stronger than I was in February.

As I start my last week at Levi’s and second to last week in California, I hope to soak up every moment to remember the places and faces that I will have to leave behind.

Minimalist Workspace

I have been working from home more often- finding it easier to write at home and taking advantage of PhotoShop. It’s no secret that I have minimalistic taste when decorating, especially my workspace- I like to keep my mind clear of clutter. 

I did want to hang some pictures at my workspace to keep inspiration high and to add a little color. I purchased some baker’s twine and wrapped it around two nails. I can simply add pictures and souvenirs with binder clips. Now there is only two holes I need to fill when my lease is up!

Jack-on-the-Wall

I had two problems last week- nothing on the walls of my apartment still after three months, and nothing to lay on at the park. I was able to fix both of those problems over the weekend at the Marc Jacobs store. The entire store was checking-in on me to make sure I meant to pick up the Union Jack and not the American flag… if they only knew. It’s a sprawling haven while sunbathing, able to house me and my menagerie of summertime novelties. It’s even cooler over my bed, a compliment to the paper daisies I hung earlier this month.

i’ll walk, thanks

I usually take a long walk home from work at Levi’s Plaza. It is really nice now that the sun stays out a little longer and my evenings can be a little more eventful than they are in the winter. I have been exploring and snapping pics of San Francisco, when I can remember to do so. Don’t worry, no mirror pics.

movin’ on up… to a real bed

I officially moved into my new place on Tuesday- I brought my bags and waited for my furniture to be delivered. Unfortunately, the only piece not to be delivered that day was my mattress. I built my desk, I built my bed (which was not a one person job) and then I fashioned a temporary bed out of Ikea boxes and some towels. My pillow for the evening was a (clean) laundry bag which came in handy when I needed a second pair of socks (it’s cold on the floor!).

Now, this is not my personal style- I have never even been camping. At around midnight I almost caved and got a hotel room but I stuck it out because a)  I just wanted to become official in the new place and b) I am cheap. Although I am still in serious pain from a day spent wrestling a half-assembled bed and a night spent on hardwood floor, I am proud I stuck it out.

he didn’t sleep a wink Tuesday night either. he’s nocturnal, duh!
