i can tell that we're going to be friends...

i was told i look like axl rose when i wear headbands like this. i think that is funny. i wasn't going for the axel look, but i do love it, whatever you want to call it. it kind of serves as a head covering... or shall i say hair covering. you know those days. well, that is like everyday for me... i'm just not a high maintenance or shall i say beyond two minute maintenance kind of grrl. i think i need to make a couple in velvet.... ok, now the search is on for stretchy velvet...

the bf brought home some fresh ciabatta so i grilled it on my cast iron skillet (which by the way, i totally adore) with some olive oil and topped it with smoked mozzarella, roma tomatoes and a pinch of sea salt... yummmmmmm... quick and yummy. this is what i eat when i want something not so healthy, haha...

random... i cook at least two meals a day... often three...
i prefer a second serving to dessert most of the time...

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

par amour

i'd love to have an outdoor living space...
big comfy pillows, the shade of trees.... heaven. i'd be outside all the time... reading, eating, sleeping...

this is the beginning of a series of photos shot at the paramour. yes, i am a lucky grrl. and the paramour is beyond beautiful. it was built in 1923 and is now the personal residence of the amazing designer dana hollister. a thousand kisses to you dana!!!

i love these jeans... i really don't like using the term jeggings... it just doesn't feel right. but i guess that is what these are... anywhoo they are becoming a quick favorite and i hope h&m makes them in black come fall :) so yeah, i went back to h&m... i had to have this headband in white :)
