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 …

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 …

Eames House Bird
I am slowly but surely decorating our future house as I foresee our cash being depleted by buying the house and not being able to decorate it will drive me insane …SO, I splurged and bought the Eames House Bird a couple weeks ago and I cannot wait to get it. I got an email …
The Sniz
Yesterday afternoon my husband and I had our first “together” visit to the gynecologist to make sure we’re doing everything right as we embark on the next phase of our lives: baby making. {and a routine yearly check-up for me} Needless to say, this was not the most comfortable situation for Pep {though he met …

Adding Blazers to your 2008 Wardrobe
So a couple weeks ago I went to a local thrift shop that I used to frequent and found a RADICAL {and silly – but I like clothes with a sense of humor} light purple blazer that just so happen to have the original Nordstrom tag on it. It was priced at $34 and when …
A Night Out at The Derby to see the Band Sitcom Neighbor
It’s an unusually busy week for us! Last night we headed to The Derby to check out my uncle’s band Sitcom Neighbor and they were awesome! It’s so great to see my uncle wailing on the drums. We’re a very musical family. My grandpa and two uncles are drummers and my late grandma and her …
