We spent the day wandering in and out of the streets of Berkeley and here’s what we found:
Peace and Love, y’all.

Bahaha I love that squirrel photo!! I’m terrified of squirrels actually because I had a nightmare about one running up my back and taking a chunk out of my upper back. This was when I was in elem. school, mind you!
Colorful pix–great shots!
I love Berk so much!
When I used to live in SF I was there as often as possible
Berkley has always looked like so much fun to me. Those were my people (in a previous life before I had children).
I wish I could live in Berkeley… Your photographs brought back many wonderful memories of the time I’ve spent in Berkeley.
Thank you
Your pictures make me want to visit Berkeley so badly!!
What fun! LOVE IT!
Ok! You totally have to message me where in Berkeley you were..I would love to visit the shop you were at…looks like a great little place my daughter would love to go. She’s 12 and secretly a hippie at heart!
lol
Oh, I LOVE when you go to Berkeley! I’m a student here and like seeing things from your perspective. So you went to Angeline’s French Soul Food (I hope you had their lemonade), Telegraph Avenue, Mars Vintage Clothing, and… hmm. That last place stumps me. It looks delicious though! Come again, there’s still much to explore
I need to live here!!!
And the manual mode gets better and better
.
Is that guy wearing CHAINMAIL???
Hard. Core.
LOVE the hate and shades!
nice bracelets! and i would also like to try to braid my hair with beads
Don’t you just love Berkely? The tree people are my favorites.
Haha, fun =] Who is that random guy you took a photo of?
Peace & <3 right back at ya!
Mmm, that says it all. Geat pics
Love that last pic. Gorgeous!
That looks fun.
I can see that Berkley hasn’t changed much over the years – still a fun, hippy town with lots of character (and a few characters!).
Look at you fitting right in with the locals! Looks like a very fun place to visit. Kind of like New Orleans… but hippier.
the man in the blue hat looks questionable? lol!
My little hipster…love it!
I’ve never been, but that’s exactly as I imagine it. All its hippy glory.
isn’t berkeley awesome?! every time we go out to California to visit my grandparents we get to go and it’s a blast every time. i love your portraits, too
Love it- all of it
xo

I love your boots!
You’re totally rocking that outfit and hat. And sunglasses! Love it.
Such great photos, by the way!!
The bf and I were thinking of moving across the country to Berkeley. I hear it’s a pretty rad place. All of your pics are gorgeous!
What a funky town! I have always wanted to visit it- thanks for visiting for me ha!
Awwww BERKELEY! I miss it! Thanks for the moment of nostalgia!
looks like such a hippy, earthy town…I LIKE!! And as usual…(and I’m probably gonna be the 947193798439 comment on this) you look fab and beautiful!
Loooove that outfit!
Oh my gosh – that looks like such a fun day!
Your photography is lovely!!!…and I love, love, love Berkeley! It’s one of my top five places that I would want to live!!
JENNA. Tights are not pants.
Yes, but Lululemon wunder under leggings are!
Leggings and boots are International look from Paris, London, Milan, San Francisco, NYC, Hollywood and definitely in Berkeley! They look great! http://media.photobucket.com/image/Victoria%20Beckham%20black%20leggings%20boots/fashionunder100/posh-6.jpg
So fun! I’m moving to the bay area in the fall (eek, 2 months away!) and Berkeley is at the top of my “why I’m excited to move to northern cal” list. Such a fun, unique place!!
The photos are amazing!
I wanna buy those boots off your feet! I need them in my life! Where did you get them?
I have to agree. . . your pictures are getting better and better! These are fantastic. Makes me want to visit Berkeley!
I love hippies! I’m really one at heart, despite my girlie exterior. Your photos are so beautiful and colorful. The closest thing NC has to Berkley is Carrboro, which is pretty hippie-fied in its own right.
Cute pics!
This summer, the boy and I are getting married, quitting jobs/packing up lives and trekking across the great unknown to live in the Bay Area. and I can’t WAIT to visit Berkeley, Yosemite, Muir Woods… Whenever I get nervous about what we’re doing, I pop over to your blog to get re-excited by photos and experiences!!
I’m loving these pictures! Was that an oyster po-boy I spotted??
I NEVER comment..but those pics of your stylin and profilin…TOTAL HAWT..looking good Jenna (running to buy a hat) woot!
Dara Thai Lao! you should’ve also have gone to one right next door to that one ~ Cha Am! ~ AND you should’ve ordered the #5 po piah rolls along with the #21 your choice of chicken, pork or beef. It was my favorite go-to Thai restaurant when I lived in Berkeley! You’ve got to stop posting pics of Berkeley ~ you’re making me even more homesick than I already am! you see i grew up there and just recently moved to the midwest… Glad you have fun though. telegraph ~ sooo many memories
Berkeley is such a colorful place. Looks like you had a great day:)
Looks fun…reminds me of my hometown of Austin!
Love the hat, glasses, and scarf combo- c’est très chic
Oh my gosh… I NEED that sandwich! Love your pictures!
Oooh, love the hat you were trying on!! Also loved your outfit! Looks like you had a good time

That was awesome!!!
wow that place looks so cool! Love the portrait of that man with the mustache! haha.
Have a great Monday Jenna!!
Next time you are in the Berkeley/ Telegraph area you MUST try Bakesale Betty. BEST Fried Chicken Sandwich and frozen lemonade EVER!
The pics look so artistic. I always feel I am not hip enough for Berkley but you make it look so fun.
It looks funky – really bohemian!
we went to the berkeley marina for a picnic with reunited friends last week and took the dog – it was oh-so much fun! if you’ve never packed a picnic to go there – i highly recommend it!
Great pictures! I especially love the one of the man braiding the girl’s hair.

I have never been to Berkeley, but your pictures are exactly how I picture it!

I will be there in October for a concert, and I can’t wait to check it out!
My alma mater! Your photos took me back to my college days. I think I’m overdue for a visit. I had a chance to visit briefly last summer (2009), but I was only there for a few hours and spent most of my weekend trip in Oakland and San Francisco. Time to get back to my roots!
