I don't know

I don’t know

So sums up my current state of mind. I’ll be up in the Bay Area this weekend to try to clear my head. You should head up on PCH and hit the beach – it’s nice outside. Just watch the traffic. Malibu, CA
Pangea Pop-Up, Space 15 Twenty

Pangea Pop-Up, Space 15 Twenty

I wanted a Confetti System piece to adorn our tiny studio apartment until I found out that they were 1.) $100+ a piece and 2.) bigger than me. So I had to stop by Space 15 Twenty and check out their installations and the jewelry featured at the pop-up shop.
Yard Sale

Yard Sale

Joined my friends this past Sunday for a group yard sale. If you were looking for shoes and cute designer and vintage pieces in tiny sizes, this was the place to be. And if you missed out, stay tuned for another one!

DTLA Love: 500 Days of Summer

DTLA Love: 500 Days of Summer

OMG, I so want to watch 500 Days of Summer, coming out today and starring Angelenos Joseph Gordon-Levitt and the ever-so-lovely Zooey Deschanel, and even more so after finding out that downtown Los Angeles is the backdrop for the story. Yes, downtown has been used in probably every other commercial, television show, and movie you see, and...
Sleepless in Seattle

Sleepless in Seattle

Cheesy as hell, but seriously, I did not sleep very well. Sleeping in a beige and puke orange budget hotel room is not conducive to relaxing, I’ve found. But otherwise, Seattle was fun in the sun. For the first two days, anyway. The rain is to be expected. I even brought an umbrella this time....
Love is in the air

Love is in the air

This has well made the blog rounds already, but I can’t help but mention this fab wedding dress from local LA designers Anzevino & Florence, currently sold (sold out?) at Revolve. Wedding dress styles have been kind of eh lately (yeah, I look at them, shut up), but THIS – all the tulle!! All that...
Type Spotting: The Orpheum Sign

Type Spotting: The Orpheum Sign

OK, so I don’t know how I’m discovering this only recently, but apparently I can see the sign of the Orpheum Theatre from my apartment deck. The Orpheum is one of the historic movie palaces on Broadway from the 1920s, and is now living its life out as a venue.  I love that downtown is...
Back in LA

Back in LA

I’m back from Seattle! Had a fabulous time in beautiful weather, shopping the serious sales, meeting new friends, and eating delicious food. There is even a photoshoot thrown in there. Pictures later! DTLA from the plane ride home
Heading NW

Heading NW

I’m off to Seattle for the weekend! This is my third time to the city (with another visit scheduled later this summer) and I never tire of it. I dream of moving there, rain and all, even more now that California is pretty much in the crapper at the moment. If you have any shopping/eating/nightlife...
Remember the time

Remember the time

BF and I both entered into the lottery for the Michael Jackson memorial, since we live a mere mile away from the Staples Center, where it was to be held. We got the expected rejection email on Sunday, but early Monday morning, BF got another email saying he was chosen out of the millions for...
The sound of settling

The sound of settling

My 4th of July weekend in pictures: Eating, eating, and more eating – Ensenada-style fish tacos at Senor Fish here in DTLA Reuniting with good friends at their rented Venice beach house – we can’t afford nice houses (okay, any houses), but we sure can rent them for the weekend When you live in Westlake,...
