I am majorly regretting the purchase tracking already. Im generally not a big clothing shopper, so I figured this would be no big deal. Last year I basically bought a handful of tee shirts + three pa...
May is birthday month around here and we kicked off the first round this weekend. {90th birthday lunch} {bow tie!} {essies fifth avenue + coziest new sweater from D} {new (old) cake stand} {sunday br...
I had a bit of filler left from the arrangements so I made myself a simple one. {leftovers} I have no idea what these flowers are called. Theyre purple, if that helps. {leftovers} We have a packed we...
I wanted little tags for our mothers day flower arrangements because each one was created with a particular mother in mind. Of course, I didnt think about this until 15 minutes before we had to leave...

Found these funny looking mandarins while mushroom shopping* at our favorite Marukai. Turns out theyre a southern California delicacy called Temecula Sweets. {temecula sweets} They are crazy knobbly ...
I have some sort of mental block against making rice. I wont try to explain it because it defies logic. But lets just say that after one particularly trying incident where I re-made jasmine rice THRE...
{saturday kitchen} {silver} {caffe luxxe} {cheese!} We cooked a bit on Saturday and then had a leisurely meal with friends. Warm weather and good margaritas. Basically perfect. We walked and walked o...
Dustin made a cilantro-lime-tequila sorbet last week and it was so insanely good that he made a non-alcoholic handheld version just a few days later. {cilantro-lime popsicle} These are refreshing, re...
{afternoon} {ginger-date cookie} {popsicles} It was quiet this weekend. And warm. I love that. I didnt feel like lugging my camera around, so I didnt. Toying with the idea of Instagram and I tested i...
Ive been aiming to get more vegetables in which is fairly easy for the most part, because I love them dearly. But breakfast was sort of the final frontier for me - it tends to be grain heavy or just ...
{iphone} Im still processing this big change. Ive (rather smugly) had the cheapest possible cell phone with a pre-paid plan for years now and it finally broke me this weekend, when I had lots of text...
This weekend didnt turn out how I had planned and ended up being fairly stressful. But there were little moments here and there that were really lovely. {sunday eggs} {waffles + strawberries} {...
:: A tie bar for D. It was a no-particular-reason splurge, but I couldnt resist once I realized that hed had the browser page open for three weeks. {nikolai rose tie bar} It is gorgeous. Sadly, the w...
Weve had bookshelves in our dining room since we moved in but our computers quickly took up residence and the mess has been getting to us. When D suggested that we attempt this project, I happily agr...
{storm} {hotel keys} {heath (the original)} Im still recovering from the weekend. Driving out of LA we were a little uncertain we were going to make it through the grapevine. The rain was so heavy it...

{notes} We were married in September and we sped right into the holidays without much time for reflection. And then January hit. We were driving home from a wedding at midnight and I started to feel ...
I bought outdoor fabric last year (oh god, maybe two years ago?) to make coverings for our balcony. I love having our large balcony, but you can see onto it from the alley behind our apartment and we...

Purchases are below - be prepared. They really are mind numbingly boring, but Im trying to stick to this. {palest pink ranunculus} Im not totally clear on where I draw the line here, so Im giving you...
One of the odd parts of reading from a Kindle is the surprise aspect. When I go to the library, I choose my books based on a number of factors - cover aesthetics, font choices, book thickness, blurbs...
I first saw these fringed confetti lanterns over at Oh Happy Day and immediately marked them. The originals are actually meant to be filled with confetti, which I intended to do but then I wimped out...
We drove over 300 miles this weekend. Back and forth from the desert, through fog and rain, then on the 405, in bright sunshine, all over Orange County. {back roads} I know I should mind it, being a ...

I rarely make mixed drinks with the exception of the rattler (in the absence of an actual bartender, I tend to stick to good beer, cheap wine and straight whiskey), so I had to do a bit of searching ...
Emily and I have been friends since college, and shes one of the most amazingly generous people I know - the sort of friend who shows up at your house with takeout and champagne on a Wednesday, just ...
Lots of prep for Emilys shower (the final product deserves its own post - coming tomorrow) + a busy Sunday hanging out with friends who are moving out of the country. Yay for them, sad for us. {fring...
