park city weekend

just got back into LA from a luxurious 4th of July weekend in park city! the weather was fabulous, the food amazing and the activities never ending!

on Friday night we went to my favorite local pc restaurant, Shabu. this place features contemporary asian cuisine with a funky local vibe. it is a must-do if you find yourself hungry and downtown pc.

Laurel and Olivia at Shabu

the trip was not complete without a ride down the river...the 40 degree river. excited, we all blew up our tubes and drove 45 minutes to the "floating spot" where we jumped onto our meager floats and felt the burning cold water. needless to say, the six of us, born and raised in southern california, did not last very long in the river.

Me, blowing up 1/6 rafts

Laurel, Olivia and Me, gearing up to jump in!

Tate, Olivia and Laurel making their way down the path, Brad headed down the river!

on the trip to home depot to find an air pump (which proved unsuccessful as you can see above), my sister and i found squirrel food. obviously, i was overjoyed. growing up in southern california (again), has greatly limited my experience with wild animals. we created a concoction and hung out to watch the drama that followed.

My pet squirrel!

we did manage to find some time to shop...i love shopping in pc because i can almost always find some really random FUN piece! we found a really cute theory dress/vest set that i will post pictures of asap!!

must get to bed/finish this wildly entertaining episode of america's got talent!!

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!
