Book Signing with Lisa See!

Hi Everyone!

I hope you all had a great long weekend! One of the things I did was attend a book signing with Lisa See. If you ever have the chance to meet her, you definitely should. Not only is she sweet and thoughtful, but a great speaker as well. Here is a copy of the book she signed for me pictured below.

The Willis

We all know I am a handbag freak.

I am loving the structure of the new version of Coach's "Willis" bag! Promptly added to wish list.

Picnic!

I have always wanted to go on a "real" picnic. Like with a proper picnic basket and everything. I decided to surprise G. and take him on a picnic today. (I have been hiding this basket in our apartment for months!) Here are some shots from the day. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

No picnic is complete without a French baguette!

The park...

The view.

A little Kindle reading (of course I brought my Rebecca Minkoff case!)

A vintage dress and Nine West boots made for a breezy, comfortable outfit. This is one of my favorite necklaces. When I was eighteen, Mom gave me this antique perfume bottle and we made it a necklace.

Packing up...

Super Bowl Cuteness!

My team is going to the Super Bowl this year! Can you tell by this picture which team it is? : )

This shirt is from the Victoria's Secret PINK NFL Collection. If you’re looking for something cute, but comfy to wear on the big day I would check out the selection at your local store (many teams are not available online).

If you live outside Massachusetts and New York, another resource is Old Navy. I like the men's shirts found here.

And of course, you can always go to the official NFL Shop!

Only one week from tomorrow! I can't wait...especially since one of my dearest girlfriends will be visiting with her husband and we will get to watch the game with them!

Emmys!

Did everyone watch the Emmys last night? I wasn’t really blown away by anyone’s “look”. I did like Lea Michele’s dress though. I’m a sucker for red and I liked the structure of the gown. Gotta love Marchesa!

I was happy to see two of my favorite shows win for best comedy and best drama! Congrats Modern Family and Mad Men!

Now, some people are saying it was the best Emmys ever… What did you think?

Happy Friday!!!

On this drizzly morning in Los Angeles, I find myself looking forward to the rainy days and nights come winter when we can cuddle up by the fireplace with a bottle of red wine and my favorite wine glasses.

I now have another reason to look forward to the rainy season...I got these from Gilt yesterday!




I have a thing for bright boots...they definitely add cheer to a dreary day!


(BTW-did you see? Matthew Williamson on Gilt today! I want everything!!!!!!)

L.A. Hair Salon

After years in L.A., many haircuts, and skipping around from stylist to stylist (I always left a little disappointed), I have FINALLY found my “home” salon!

I have been to Jazmine three times now and I have always left 100% happy. Ever since my first visit, I have been meaning to tell you about her! Not only does she do a fantastic job, but she’s fun! So if you’re new to L.A. or looking to switch stylists, I highly recommend her.

If you’re interested, here is her website for further information:

P.S. The salon is moving to a new location within Pasadena in October so if you make an appointment, be sure to get the new address. I can’t wait to see her new space!
