Our Casual California Family Thanksgiving 2012 // Photos

She caught me spitting a nut out in the kitchen sink {yuck, nuts in cake, blech} and then did the exact same thing just minutes later in the living …
My InstaLife : Week 11/11-23
This is more like a week and a few bits from the week prior. I actually didn’t post much to Instagram the week before and those that I did, I ended up using for posts {or will be using for posts} so I thought I’d skip last week and add the few extras to this …
Zimmermann : Fashion : Lookbooks : Photographs
I’ve had these Zimmermann lookbook photos saved on my desktop since I posted the Zimmermann Summer swimwear collection… I’m not sure why I forget about folders and thumbnails that I see on a daily basis, but somehow, they just slip my mind. However, sometimes, on a less than creative day, flipping through them inspires something …
My Eye-Opening Beauty Secrets…
I am lucky to have been blessed with an abundance of thick hairs growing from my head but my eyelashes have never been anything to write home about. They are short, straight, and very light. The fact that I have very hooded eyes that are just average in size, doesn’t do my eyelashes any favors …
So Grateful…
Yesterday morning, just after waking, I walked sleepy-faced and messy-haired out to the living room as I normally do, where I was greeted with a big smile and an even bigger hug from our housekeeper, Alba. This is not unusual however, Alba and I embrace in a warm hug and cheek kiss every two weeks …

Home Decor Spotlight : Ceiling Beams
I have a love affair with ceiling beams, I really do, so I’m super excited that our main room, my new studio and office space, as well as our master bedroom, are lined with ceiling beams. It’s unfortunate though, that downstairs, they’ve all been painted from their original dark stain to a taupe color, which …
