Any local Southern California Brides or soon-to-be-Brides out there?

(Special congrats to my dear friend Elizabeth who got engaged this past Saturday)

If you can get to LA, you should go to this event:

Featuring some of my very favorite vendors:

The Flashdance

Smog Shoppe

Confetti System

100 Layer Cake

Annie McElwain Photography {a lovely, talented girl & fellow Bruin}

Read about all the vendors & happenings here.

I so wish I could go, but alas, I’ll be getting ready for yet another wedding that day xoxo

New kicks

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

Truth be told, I am not much of a sneaker person. My boyfriend would definitely approve if I added some Nike Dunks or Adidas Originals to my rotation.


Now these are some cool looking shoes. Not exactly my usual style (plain black chucks), but maybe time to try something new?

Upper Echelon Shoes available at Saks.

Take Cover

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

Gone are the endless summer days spent laying out in my backyard – lathering on the baby oil, sipping kool-aid, and reading Sweet Valley High. The cordless phone was never far from reach and my main concern was if I put in enough Sun-In. Ah, the teenage years.

Nowadays you’ll find me with the widest brim hat I can find, plenty of 50+ SPF and some fake tanning cream for later. For my upcoming beach vacation, I am on the search for the perfect beach cover-up to complete my new, more responsible ensemble:

{athleta}

{calvin klein}

{milly}

{asos}

Pom poms! I am leaning towards that one.

D*Sponge City Guides

Monday, August 16th, 2010

If you aren’t familiar with it, Design*Sponge is an AMAZING site that you can get lost in for hours. I have found myself bookmarking many of their Product Guides, DIY Projects and Before & After (click on those links for their archives, and be warned you may never leave…).

And now when I am preparing for a trip to a new city (first trip to D.C. coming this Fall!), or rediscovering a favorite (like my City by the Bay), I always consult the Design*Sponge City Guides. Divided up by neighborhood, the guides include in-depth lists for restaurants, shops, design stores, day trips and offer local information to get a real feel for the place. There are over 100 city guides, including international destinations like Zurich, Nottingham and Montreal.

C, here is the guide for Portland, OR if you haven’t seen it yet – enjoy your Pacific Coast road-trip! xoxo

One Fish Two Fish…

Friday, August 6th, 2010

I think these have been going around the interwebs for a while now but I just discovered them and have to share. I wear my black Chuck Taylor converse literally everyday so I’m already a converse die hard. But, a Dr. Suess collaboration with Converse might be the cutest thing ever! Find them here at converse.com

This chilly, cloudy weather really has me on a fall kick. I’m even pulling out my apple cinnamon candles which I always save until fall arrives. AND, there is a football game on Sunday, albeit an exhibition game, but a game and an excuse to make football food nonetheless. In the meantime, those of you in throws of summer. Stay cool!
