Weekend Flashback.
This weekend (while not a break from my usual 9-5) turned out to be all about the graphics. I spent a good deal of time learning the code and setting up the beginnings of my archive pages which I’m excited to share with you (click on STYLE on the top header pages to see what I’m talking about). Expect to see more on the rest of those pages soon! Saturday we tried out two new local eateries (one of which had caught my eye solely based on it’s signage, and the other happened to have these fun balloons to advertise it’s cool treats). And Sunday night was rounded out with a girl’s craft night that resulted in these easy DIY string art pieces. That ‘A’ will find a new home in our gallery wall I’ve got planned. Want more graphic inspiration? I pin here with pretty graphics that catch my eye.
The Great Outdoors.
One of the things I love most about living here in Southern California is the way that the sunshine and weather constantly inspire me to be outdoors. While rainy, gray days back in New York practically demanded that I have movie marathons all day inside my apartment – Los Angeles beckons for me to get out of bed early on a Saturday, take a run by the beach, a hike in the canyons, a stroll down it’s promenades. The great outdoors are calling, and I for one am going to answer. Happy Friday!
Orange Crush.
When I first started the blog I didn’t even really consider doing outfit posts, and even once I started sharing my outfits (quite tentatively), I didn’t really think I’d keep up with it. Now, to my continued surprise, they are my most viewed posts and perhaps my favorites to share. And as an added bonus, I find myself taking more risks with my style. Maybe it’s my proximity to a county by the same name – but I can’t get enough of Orange these days. I played with a bit of a 60’s/70’s influence on this look, and went head to heels in the retro shade, breaking things up with a lace mini and this amazing tooled vintage leather handbag that my sister gifted me a few Christmas’ back. (Oh, and please excuse the slight squinting in these photos. This California sun seems endless these days. As evidenced by my increasingly tan legs… not that you’ll find me complaining.)
