Sometimes LA is really beautiful (in it's own strange way).

I'm sitting in my car in a nice neighborhood in Beverly Hills waiting on my guy who's at the dentist. I'm always so curious as to how these people aquired these houses. And then I wonder if they have happy families and if they have fun together. Yes, I am being creepy.
I'll miss all the palm trees when we move away someday. And I'll miss the overcast mornings that melt away into warm sunny days.

Anyway, I got these heart button denim shorts yesterday. I'm always sold on absolutely anything with hearts on it. And a striped shirt is a striped shirt right? Wrong. Basics from APC are just better than any other.

Have you ever tried to type a blog from your iPhone? It's pretty hard. Especially when your phone is 2 years old and you have over 5,000 pictures in your photo library. Slow is an understatement. Patience can be my strong suit.

I have started to get really annoyed with LA drivers. I have always driven in LA ever since I could drive, so I was always just one in the hurried pack. But if anyone else has a Prius and also has any degree of OCD you will understand the game I like to play with keeping my mpg up.

Anyway, I'm definitely rambling. Must be the iPhone. Here are some pictures in our neighborhood.

  4. I'm impressed by this post. I hate chat-speak and if I had to do a blog post via my cell I would resort to using chat-speak just to hurry it up!

  5. You're right. Basics aren't just basics. I've determined that in 2010 i'm filling my closet with the best basics I can, and adding trendy accessories like artwork and home furnishing accessories. I'm a nerd, I know.

    Annnd, I'm in love with stripes, specifically navy and white. Stripes on upholstery are my favorite (and wallpaper!) A vintage sofa with linen stripes. I die...

    I just started a new blog. My husband and I are going on a new adventure to the deep south. Check it out: http://thebowtieandtheskirt.blogspot.com/
