Hey guyszees.
I'm too old to go back to school but I still wanted to wear a back to school outfit. I love this mustard and dusty blue combo.
These past couple of weeks have been CRAZY. We might actually get to relax in the next few days..a little. (:







My sister is here finally! We are going to walk down to Bottega Louie and get a coffee and a treat in a lil.

Hi guys. We just got our internet back this morning. As much as I love having cable & internet, it was actually really nice without it the last few days. Without the internet I would have no job, though, so thank you internet! We spent a lot of time staring out the windows. Sounds like a joke but there is a building parallel to us and most people don't have curtains or shades. Ok, I guess it's creepy but you can't really see them. It's more like watching an ant farm. We love living Downtown so far. Always something going on.
We took some pics up on the rooftop of our building yesterday. I decided I'm not one for the sheer blouse movement. I even got a cute ruffled polka dot bra to go underneath. I just didn't feel comfortable once I remembered everyone could see my bra...I didn't even think about till I got downstairs though. Oh, life! I do love this Lacey dress/top though. With a silky tank top underneath next time.

Ok, hope you're all doing fabulously.
Gotta finish getting this house in order...and everything set up to run shop from here.
But first....I need lots of coffee.

Pack it up.

So, I guess this is our heat wave...and I still wear a cardigan everywhere.
Spent the morning packing up everything and essentially destroying all the order I've tried to hard to create at this place for the last three years. Well, we must destroy in order to rebuild!
This cool, crepey, floral tank dress is perfect for the heat.
Also, I painted a new Olive green stripe on my bag. Refreshed! I'm thinking of buying a Mulberry Alexa rip-off on eBay..I just need to admit to myself that I'll never buy the original so...might as well! It's kind of trendy anyway..the whole satchel thing. But I super love it.









I'm trying to get my order back so I turned on Father of the Bride 2. Feeling better. Oh, Nina Banks due date was Labor day and I was born on labor day. Nice useless info for ya. (:

Back to work!

Hi guys. Hope you're having a sweet Saturday. I'm heading out to visit some family.

Here's a sampling of what's ending in a couple of hours. Click the pic to shop. (:



Love.

Free as we'll ever be.

The beach towns of Central California are so distinct. We met up with Gabes family for the "weekend" and lived like the locals. Jk. Total tourists!
It was pretty chilly which is nice for August. When we got back here to LA it was blazin'! Now we are finishing painting our new loft. Let me tell you, we underestimate the high ceilings. If I ever have to go back to home depot again I'll lose it! We did get fun pastries and I got a faux Angeleno at Bottega Louie this morning before we started so that definitely helped!

I had been on the lookout for a big ivory cardigan and I love this one! I might not even sell it! Ha. I also saw a picture of a girl wearing a peach skirt and red bag and fell in love with the color combo. I think it's my new forest green/lavender. :)

Other than that, I loved seeing Gabe with our niece, London. Especially now that I got babies on the brain! Can't wait.





































What I wore, what I saw, what I did.
Well, now you know after you don't hear from me for awhile you will get bombarded with a million pictures when you do hear from me. :)
Had a great time..now back to moving reality. The reality is, it sucks...and I don't say "sucks".

Love to all!

You can't stop my shine!

This is my "responsible" outfit. I guess in my mind any time you wear a blazer you're being responsible.







We ate lunch at Wurstkuche which is a good place to go about twice a year. I don't drink beer (unless it tastes like sparkling apple juice) and I'm not fond of exotic meats. Sounds like the "wurst" place for me to go. Sometimes (twice a year) it sounds fun. Yes, Gabe got a duck & bacon sausage...he is an immense fan of exotic meats. Sounds yuck but the new me tries every food once so if he wouldn't have "wolf-ed it down" so quickly I would have tried a bite. (:

We have sooooooooooo much work to do. I don't even know where to start. Moving is really hard. But it will all be worth it!
Actually I do know where to start..a fun job of picking out paint colors. I am kinda set on painting the whole place pink but trying to convince Gabe has been daunting. I'll keep trying!

Anyone know any good Domino mag website replacements? That was such an amazing resource.. I do love Design Sponge.

Anyway, more later.
Have a spectacular day!
