Meet Eva

Eva Grall

Hi, I’m Eva! Here at She’s So Bright I share creative essays along with an obsession for hats, my love of romance novels, and my passion for travel and photography. I hope my articles make you laugh and think, but most of all, I hope they make your day a little brighter!

Just Bought

  • Janessa Leone Bolero - Just Bought, Hat, StyleNew Springtime Bolero
    I’m preferential to western style hats and Panamas, but I liked the simplicity of this bolero. The black band makes it easy to wear throughout the spring and summer, and the flat top is a little more dainty than all my other chapeaux!
  • Robert E. McGinnis Art Book
    From the posters for James Bond and Breakfast at Tiffany’s to book covers and posters galore, Robert E. McGinnis had a special way with his set of paints. His hypersexual and uber feminine drawings are classic and inspiring. So far I’m loving flipping through this book for inspiration and color palettes!

  • “When I finally finished almost an hour later I was delighted and proud of what I had done. The process is incredibly humbling, meditative, and an exercise in releasing control. You don’t need to do as much as you think, just let the flowers, and subsequently, nature, tell you what’s next. I interpret it as a metaphor for life: trust in the process, allow the natural order of things to guide you, and find the beauty in the imperfections.” 🌹🌺🌸💐🌼 Some of my thoughts on taking a lesson in Ikebana - read the rest of the post on She’s So Bright 👉🏻link in my profile👈🏻 . . . . . #ikebana #tokyo #japan #traveladventures #shessobright #ssbtravels #lifelessons #flowers #flowerarrangement

  • Sooo excited to share that I’m chopping up my wedding dress! 😝 I couldn’t part with it, nor could I leave it stuffed in a sad storage box, so I took it back to @saks and they’re working on alterations. 🛠 With a few pokes and pins, a whole new dress started to emerge and I’m really excited to give new life to this favorite gown of mine! ✨ And that’s just it - it’s a FAVORITE dress, so I really should wear it all the time (it was also 💸, so that’s another reason). Fingers crossed it ends well! 😝
  • New year, new me! (And a new post too! The link is in my profile) 😘 . . . . #outwest #grandtetonnationalpark #styleinspo #hatstyle #prairiedress #wyoming #wanderlust #theeverydaygirl #theblogissue #abmlifeiscolorful
  • Just a girl and her camera 📸 @fujifilm_northamerica #xt20 Finally getting around to editing some travel pics! 🌃
  • Mood 🥀
  • After twenty days in Tokyo I am finally back home! This trip was my first visit to Asia. It was constantly enlightening, regularly overwhelming, and by the end of each day, exhausting, but I wouldn’t change a single day. I must have walked fifty miles through Tokyo, Kyoto and the small village of Gero, leaving my feet aching so much I’d have to soak them at night. I ate more fermented things than I ever wanted to and took the longest flight of my life, which ended up not being too bad. I was consistently humbled by the dedication, devotion and spirituality of the Japanese, and to witness their respect for each other and the things around them has changed me forever. I came home and lint rolled all my hats and sweaters. I’ve got a pile of face masks waiting to be tried. And I am determined to do more with the outdoor space that’s available to me, as I saw every square foot of useable land planted with food, flowers or immaculate gardens. Thank you Japan for teaching me so much. I can’t wait until I get to experience you again! 😘✌🏻 . . . . . #tokyojapan #shibuya #shessobright #blackandwhite #fujifilmxt3 #japaneseculture #streetphotography #theblogissue #theeverygirl #travelblogger
  • Can you tell I like it here? 🙃 . . . . . . #honeymooners #visitjapan #tokyo #japanesegarden #japan_vacations #travelblogger
  • What is it about stepping over water that is so satisfying and fun? This little boy zipped past me and suddenly made the picture better. 🏃🏻‍♂️ I love Tokyo. It’s so different than anything I’m used to but, at the same time, makes a lot of sense to me. The beauty, tradition, respect, balance, cleanliness, busyness and culture are incredible. I love the juxtapositions. And I’m on the other side of the planet, but suddenly my sense of direction is a lot better here - in this giant city full of lights, skyscrapers and signs - than it’s ever been in the states. Funny what you learn about yourself when traveling... . . . . . . #tokyo #japan #balance #tokyojapan #japaneseculture #waterfeature #oldandnew

  • Goodnight from Ernie and me! 🎃 Diego was Frida’s longtime love and Ernie is mine (and Jon’s somewhere in there too) 😼😝
  • Flowers and earring details 🌟 The earrings are my Mother’s and are made out of Turkish gold coins. They’re so beautiful and she never wears them, so they’re perfect for Halloween! 🎃
