These Marilyn Monroe portraits by George Barris are outstanding. The photo below is not part of the online auction {in fact, I do not know the photographer} but I just love this photo of Marilyn. It’s so real. She used to look so different before the studios got a hold of her. sad. Speaking of …
CG Outfit Post // Black and White Babydoll Dress
Since summer is coming to an end I’m making it a point to wear all my summer clothes before it’s too late. That said, I bought this adorable dress {which reminds me of Alice in Wonderland} at Forever21 {I only do forever21.com because that store is just too ridiculous} and say what you will about …
It’s that time again
For one week out of each month, I lose my mind. (please tell me I’m not the only one who experiences complete madness during her period) It happens every single month, yet I am never prepared for it. N.E.V.E.R. During these 5-7 days, all rational thought goes out the door and is replaced with fear, …
I heart Mark Ryden
Since I used up all my words in last weeks posts, today I will just say that I adore Mark Ryden’s work. a.d.o.r.e. them. I love how at first glance, they look cute and light-hearted and sweet with pastels and bunnies and babies. But on further inspection, you see the darkness. Oh, I love the …

Mani/Pedi… just like candy
Yesterday afternoon, Alison and I got mani/pedis at the newly renovated Hands to Hold on the corner of Moorpark and Van Nuys Blvd. …and I have been obsessed with my nails ever since. They look like candy! It’s been over 6 months since I’ve polished my nails – 1. Because after reading about the toxins …
Daryl Banks Photography
I just found this photo {1st below} by photographer, Daryl Banks on The Adrenaline Fix and clicked his site and found so many more amazing photos. They are so amazing. {did I just say that twice?} I’m not sure why I love them so much but I want to post every single one of them! …
Confessions of a DRAMA QUEEN!
Okay, It is confirmed. I am a drama queen. I went to the “Lady Doctor” yesterday afternoon to get some blood taken and almost fainted. Yes, you read correctly. If I had not LAID DOWN ON THE FLOOR, I would have completely passed out and most likely knocked myself unconscious. Here’s the story: The nurse …
Piano Love + Niia Bang Bang
I’ve ALWAYS wanted to learn how to play the piano. When I was in my early teens, we somehow managed to get an organ for free and I taught myself a bunch of songs by ear. But I could never use both hands or read music very well. We have a neighbor who teaches piano …
Alice in Wonderland by Annie Leibovitz
I just adore these depictions of Alice in Wonderland shot by Annie Leibovitz for December 2003 Vogue. They are my favorite of any AiW creation although there have been many other great interpretations and some I’m sure I’ve yet to see. If anyone has any tips on other great Alice in Wonderland art, lemme know …
Completely Gratuitous Outfit Post // Black and Teal
I don’t normally buy Guess shoes. In fact I haven’t purchased an item from Guess since my {1980’s infatuation with the label} aqua acid wash guess bag {which I hope I still have somewhere} and my ankle zipper jeans with the signature triangle on the back pocket. One Christmas {I must have been 11} I …
4 Stroke Jeans – I heart the 80’s
For the past couple of years there has been a rather large shift in fashion, a generation gap, if you will, which is reminiscent of generations past. When I see people on the streets, I can usually guess their age by what they are wearing and that interests me. I almost feel like my grandma …
