As many of you know, I’ve been writing and sharing pretty consistently at Substack since February 1st of this year… After about a year and a half of wondering what was next, waiting for my next BIG IDEA and coming up short, I set a goal for myself to write every day at Substack, which …
I’ve been thinking a lot about perspective lately… and I think, as much as we sometimes forget that life isn’t happening to us and that we aren’t victims of life, but instead we are creating our life minute by minute, day by day, year by year… our perspective truly defines how we interpret our lives …
I’m a few days late and a week behind but I thought I’d share this wonderful little mountain brunch I attended last Wednesday, hosted by Summer Bellessa at her super fabulous, newly renovated, mountain home, The Modern Lodge, here in Lake Arrowhead. I met Summer at Emily Henderson’s Mountain House Reveal party, which I was …
There’s something intriguing and mysterious, yet also completely fun and carefree about these images of women, fashionably dressed in street style settings, carrying bunches of flowers in front of their faces. It may be different women or it may be one woman, but I suppose we’ll never know considering their faces are hidden behind big …
I found London-based luxury product photographer, Josh Caudwell on Instagram via Ashlina Kaposta ~ @thedecorista, who shared his work the other day… and then I fell in love. But it totally makes sense that an interior designer’s style that I love, would also share art that I love. And her caption was my favorite part… …
I just love this digital collage series, Faces [UN] Bonded Project, by Marcelo Monreal. The images are gorgeous and interesting and colorful and I love everything about them. I think the black and white photos with the pops of bright flowers are my favorites. I love the texture of them and the contrast in just …
Fashion’s having an embroidery moment… actually, it kind of began a few years ago, but it’s just kind of hitting bigger now… Most probably with the return of all things ’70s, which is always super fun. I first felt it via Dolce & Gabbana’s 2014 RTW collection which inspired this faux Floral Embroidered Clutch, though …
Through my short-lived obsession with One Direction, which began late 2014 and soared through mid-2015 {though I do still hold a fondness in my heart for the young lads}, I found Lou Teasdale, who is the band’s hair stylist extraordinaire… and makeup artist as well, but shhhh, boys don’t wear makeup, right? Aside from her …
Over the weekend I found Kat Dahlia and wondered why I hadn’t heard her music until now considering she’s got singles dating back to 2013 ~ WHAT!?! Whatever the case, I promptly downloaded her latest album My Garden and haven’t stopped listening to it since. I Youtubed the video so I could link to it …
How adorably chic are these floral arrangements by Olyve.com? I just love the simplicity mixed with the quirkiness and beauty, which seem perfectly customized to fit so many personalities… they make the perfect gift. I found them via an email in my inbox the other day, asking for my shipping address so they could send …
I know it’s not technically the end of summer just yet, as the coming months in SoCal happen to be the hottest of them all. But we’re definitely heading into fall and I can already see and feel nature gearing up for it. So with Ecco Domani Wine, I thought I’d celebrate the final days …
Does it bother you as much as it bothers me when you see fashion blogger after fashion blogger carrying a bouquet of “fresh blooms” in her way-to-expensive-to-be-carrying-flowers-in-handbag? It enrages me, lol. However, I’m totally guilty of it too… I just couldn’t resist the white roses in my Shelby Dress photo shoot, but come on… who …
I just LOVE this Plant These to Help Save The Bees Illustration by Hannah Rosengren, which you can also buy in her Etsy shop, among others… It’s simple and to the point, super cute and really helpful too! Since the late 1990s, beekeepers around the world have observed the mysterious and sudden disappearance of bees, …
I’ve had this idea for a while now… of having floating flowers in my hair, giving the feeling that I was just walking along a beautiful tree-lined path and as the trees swayed in the breeze, little flowers fell, perfectly taking residence in my hair in the most whimsical way possible… and then I frolicked …
You can’t think of ’90s fashion without ’60s and ’70s styles coming to mind, well, I can’t anyway, because when I think back to some of my favorite looks of the time, they were either inspired by those decades, or quite literally taken from them. In the ’90s is when I started really shopping at …
