I think I just found my new favorite blog, Bardot in Blue. She has a great eye for taking photos, fashion and style. It also doesn’t hurt that she’s in Paris, what a lovely backdrop! At first I couldn’t get enough of these shots of her shoes (unfortunately only available in Paris) in the latest [...]

I had one of those delicious Saturdays where good food, good friends and a little exploring aligned for a delicious afternoon. The boyfriend and I met up with some of our friends at Wurstkuche where I had the tastiest sausage sandwich in my life.  I ordered the Filipino Maharlika, sweet pork sausage with natural seasonings [...]

Thought I’d share a few images I took of  some jaw-dropping street art I came across while out having lunch with some friends on Saturday. It was hard to miss a giant octopus overtaking a fiery sunken ship or the apocalyptic scene of dark invaders or, my favorite, the grotesque and yet cute gang of [...]

{image by amongtheseclouds via Flickr} Thanks to my boyfriend, within the last couple years I’ve come to appreciate the dark whimsical world of Tim Burton’s films. The man’s got style! I got re-acquainted with Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, of all places, in a Hollywood cemetery last summer. Then a couple weeks ago we loaded up [...]

Spring may be over but that doesn’t mean summer won’t be in full bloom the way the floral trend seems to be growing. I’m loving the light frocks and the sexy dark dresses that are everywhere.  With a variety of prints to choose from, I’m torn between the fine floral and large bouquet prints. These [...]

Indulging in a cup of chamomile tea before going to bed has become a daily routine for me lately. It’s the perfect way to wind down from a day full of work, help the stomach relax from a savory dinner and it gives me a moment to plan on what needs to be done the [...]

During the summer my family has a thing for throwing major beach days/bonfires at least once a month. That means it’s a 12-hour day staking our claim at the bonfire pits on Huntington Beach.  Most of the time we are lounging in the sun and enjoying tasty treats. Last Saturday was the first bonfire to [...]
