it makes no sense. but i'm desperate to connect

coffee (actually chai) with alexis and tessa to plan a clothing swap... if you are in l.a. and interested in joining us hit me up.  by the way casbah has the best chai.

i really need to get out more... i'm such a bookworm vampyre haha

sooooo... this outfit... is just a normal get up for running around town and such.  it's very me.  i would have preferred it with boots, but it was hot and well i wanted to be light footed and quick (yes, these are things i think about)...  so do you blog your regular outfits or do you plan outfits?  do you change your shoes because they create better lines in your photos?  i find that blogging has definitely made me more comfortable with dressing how i want.  there was a phase where i wondered if certain looks were "bloggable" or interesting... but that ended QUICKLY.  and now i feel like it's given me a freedom to be as unique and as loud as that may or may not be.  i just kind of don't really care about all that other stuff.  basically i guess i've come full circle.  wow insightful.

ohh what a weekend... laying around the homestead, yarn shopping, crocheting, an unbelievably yummy homemade salad, porno for pyros, a bad movie that got abandoned after 20min (something i rarely do), chasing the sun, errands, enjoying new music, not much internet, showers and maybe i'll have time to paint my toes as i sip on a spritzer later.... yes, i like my red to sparkle! i know... shame on me!

this dress really helps my daydreaming along... first thing said to me after i put it on was... "you are a princess...". i really don't need any encouraging as i have a skirt to sew and two hats to crochet! thanks lala land for reminding me how much i love to twirl about my tiny apt :)

you must

these were taken a while back on our way to sushi.... hama sushi is it when we really need a sashimi fix. if you are into those fancy rolls or getting waited on hand and foot then this isn't really your place, but otherwise i don't think you could find a better spot for sashimi, a few handrolls and a couple rounds of sake...

i love this blouse. comfortable but looks dressier than a tee shirt... so it works for me... and well, i LOVE me some patchwork...

the shoes are probably the best deal i've got in the last few months... regularly $109, i got them on clearance for $19.95! yea!! brand new too. the lucky brand website is all sold out, but i found them for about 60% off here and if they don't have your size you can browse around here. i highly recommend 'em.... i mainly bought 'em as an everyday platform. i needed something i could do more walking in, that could get beat up and would keep my flares from draggin too much... these are perfect!

sometimes i dream in velvet

more photos from the paramour... it really is like a dream. the most gorgeous skyline view of l.a. and the trickle of the pool would be enough to keep me from venturing away for a longlong time...



the dress was a birthday present to myself (months ago) and i just haven't worn it... but i absolute adore it. the length, the silk, the colors... this is one of those dresses that makes you feel better as soon as you slide it on. have you seen the fall winter kate preview? i love it and have my eye on a few pieces... maybe i will post my favorites :)

how is your summer wrapping up? i'm eating a lot of fruit, watching tons of movies at home, taking short walks, drinking lots of iced coffee and will hopefully be taking a road trip next week. i finished true blood season 2 and i'm almost wishing i had t.v./cable so i wouldn't have to wait for season 3. i also finished rome... what shall i do with myself? haha... i think i may start heros. any movie suggestions?

i want a burrito.

thanks again to dana for sharing her beautiful home

but whoever knew the voodoo you'd do?

i'm starting to lose track of time... i think these were taken two weekends ago... but i'm not sure. maybe i need coffee... but i'm trying to cut back a bit... just one more.
i got this skirt for two bucks at goodwill... they had a skirt half off day...
a couple things...
1/i wasn't hiking in the last outfit post... i parked right next to where i took the photos :) i am more than comfortable walking in heels for hours on end, but i don't have a death wish haha!
2/the title is from a lauryn hill song. her solo album is classic
3/i've been so busy it's unbelievable
4/i'm gonna have another coffee right now
5/summer has finally arrived here in l.a. and i'm loving it!
6/i wear minnetonka moccasins like everyday. i swear by them. i don't really do flip flops.
6/i haven't been eating cheese lately... but dang this lunch was GOOD...


four cheese ravioli and artichoke mushroom pizza from the star cafe.

orange glow

i believe we were at santa ynez....
northern beaches are so beautiful.. the greenery is different...
i'm itching like a grrl who walked through poison oak to hit the road. we shall see what i can actually make happen though.
i feel so disappointed in humans right now. maybe i watch too many apocalyptic movies. but everywhere i turn things that make me sad are happening. and i'm trying to keep going like a soldier and i do, but i'm also trying to figure out my part besides using canvas grocery bags if you know what i mean...
anyways enough babbling...
hope everyone is off to a great week... i need to finish my coffee :)

i play my music in the sun

north of santa barbara... it was beautiful. the traffic horrendous.
didn't do much last week... so when saturday rolled around i drove down to goodwill to get some fresh air... and i'm glad i did as i found this blouse... soo perfect for any kind of layering... and the music gods blessed me with the rolling stones, jimi and zep on the way..
the headband came from salvation and this is the first time i've worn it. in my head i kept seeing it on a head of long hair, but i caved and it still works sans the juliet locks
