spring!

memorial day weekend is in full swing! thermometer is up towards 80 and brad and i are settling into playing house...in the real world! i recently moved out of isla vista, a square mile of debauchery, and down to santa barbara proper, right in the middle of a quaint little patch of old fashioned-beach cottages. we love it!

there is a huge park just a block away that hosts festivals throughout the summer! cannot wait! ill make sure to document them all!

so im not a cat person...at all. but this morning i was channel surfing and happened upon these AMAZING specimens....the cornish rex. so now im in love.

these cats are so majestic -- like perfect egyptian statues! ive been reading that they are pretty hypoallergenic (perfecttttt) so im keeping my eye out for any litters out there!

alsoooo! montecito pet shop, on cliff, has new rescues in!!

they are lhasa apso mixes -- and they are ADORABLE. they would love a home :)

thats all for now! have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! Hopefully the Easter Bunny was good to you! Mine hopped along with some Elizabeth and James blouses and of course See's scotchmallows!

Spring has sprung and with it came some peaceful pastels and enough floral prints to last until September! Here's a preview of my favs as of RIGHT now -- along with, of course,the newest Sam Edelman booties -- complete with rhinestones and studs...although I'm beginning to wane on the stud trend, a few here and there make an outfit totally memorable!

Another thing I am in love with RIGHT now is BANDAGE. Who would have thought a dress/skirt made entirely of ELASTIC would be so hot! These little numbers sinch and squeeze in all the right places making anyone so daring as to shimmy into them look fabulous!

I have decided that I may just pack up my bags and move to Utah for the winter. Park City is the ultimate place to play in the snow for a few months and it would give me a great time to work on my snowman building (I made my first one this Christmas with my wonderful

boyfriend Brad directing the effort) I even adorned him with my faux fur Russian-esque hat!

I was quite proud of him! I've also begun to see the enjoyment of skiing much more than I ever though possible! Other than the grapefruit-sized welts on my "shankles" (where my shin meets my ankle), I was totally comfortable and even hiked up to chute 10 with my mom, my friend Karyn and our instructor, Paul. Here's a shot of what it was like -- although the lip/steep downhill isn't so obvious in the picture!

The food in Park City is unbelievably good. Over spring break we hit up all our favorite spots. My brother, Max, came in on Friday and we went to Riverhorse to celebrate with my cousin and second cousin!

That's all for right now! Enjoy the sunshine!

obsessions

here are some of my absolute favorite pieces of 2010 so far! i absolutely love taylor momsen, her heroin chic look reminds me of courtney love's better days. also, i've included my go-to shoes for this season, the sam edelman ZOE booties! these babies go with everything in my closet and i've found myself wandering the streets in them both day and night.

of course, the jeffery campbell TICK booties are at the top of my list too. mine are all alone in manhattan beach now but fortunately one of my roommates lent me hers for a bday party friday night. this same friend rocked the american apparel LBD downtown the other night and looked absolutely gorgeous!

enough procrastination for one night, back to studying for me! ill be back soon!!
