HAWAIIAN GETAWAY WISHLIST

lo — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 14:04:59 +0000

I made an impulsive vacation decision recently, and although my trip is months out, I’m already itching to pack my bags. This Hawaiian getaway wishlist, with the breezy fabrics and luxurious basics, marks my top new wants for the adventure. It’s terribly indulgent, so I may be look-for-lessing a few of these lovely things…. No. [...]

EVELYN WAUGH BOOK COVERS

lo — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 17:52:53 +0000

I love these Evelyn Waugh book covers designed by Rymn Massand and illustrated by Bill Brown–especially the gorgeous wallpaper patterns. I just started reading A Handful of Dust, which is delightfully funny, in addition to being such a lovely book to physically hold. It so nice to not have to read from a computer screen [...]

DREAMING OF SUMMER CAMP

lo — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 22:20:08 +0000

I’m dreaming of bounding off a grown-up summer camp lately–some kind of cross between adventure and retreat–and this Ojai getaway has me jealous. Of course, half of the appeal is this imaginary wardrobe, with a sophisticated take on childhood campwear. Fresh, tomboyish, and just easy. A breezy white top beats the heat. ($22) // A [...]

I’M STILL HERE

lo — Fri, 07 Jun 2013 13:42:34 +0000

You guys, I’m sorry. I’ve been on an unscheduled hiatus due to some personal stress that effectively scared me away from blogging. But things are good. I’ve been doing a little barre lately, and a lot of writing! Screenwriting was my first love and ambition and college, but something I’ve fallen away from more recently. And it [...]

CHEAPER THRILLS // LAUNDRY BAG

lo — Wed, 15 May 2013 14:00:49 +0000

A linen laundry bag is one of those utilitarian design elements that make the everyday more beautiful, and I have a soft spot pretty things that are also practical. This cute West Elm laundry bag is certainly affordable, but Crate & Barrel does even better in price and a bit bigger in size. Same palette, same drawstring [...]

ULTIMATE WALKABLE WEST HOLLYWOOD CITY GUIDE

lo — Tue, 14 May 2013 14:00:00 +0000

People hate LA, and I understand why. One: The traffic. Two: They don’t know where to go. But what if you avoided the tourist traps of Hollywood Blvd hell and didn’t have to drive at all? West Hollywood was ranked California’s most walkable city, and West Hollywood happens to have a lot going on. It’s [...]

MY LA // 05

When Rachel of Bloodstre.am last visited LA, I had the pleasure of meeting up with her for for a little dinner. She suggested Cliff’s Edge, where I’d never been, but always wanted to go. With the luck of fantastically great traffic, I got out to the neighborhood a little early, and strolled around a [...]

WEEK LINKS // 09

Hope you all get to spent some time of a phone call with your moms this weekend. I was actually born on a Mother’s Day, which I think is super cool, most of the time. I prefer the years where the holidays don’t land on top of each other, so the festivities and gift-giving get [...]
