PUBLIC Love ...
Not only did I love the bike, but the basket on the back too.
You can fill it with your goods ...
And just carry it right on into your house. Love that.
So I was flipping through the new Vanity Fair (you know what I'm talking about;) and I came across this awesome orange bike from a company called PUBLIC. I love it when I run into a company that I end up enjoying well beyond just their product. Although, they don't consider themselves a "company" since they don't care to make bikes faster or fancier, but rather they "design bikes to help make city life a little simpler and a little more fun." Don't you love that? Then it got more interesting as I read that the founder of PUBLIC is also the founder of DWR, Rob Forbes–who knew?! PUBLIC definitely passes the unofficial Happenstance "M.A.V." (Message, Aesthetic, Vibe) test. They even tell you to stop by their offices if you're in the SF area. Who does that anymore?
Library Nook ...
I can definitely see myself posting up in this little library nook with the fire on (or not) and a good book or magazine. Love the painted gray floors against the yellow-ish rug and the pop of the red seating. With the natural lighting, I'm going to go ahead and take it a step further and imagine this house on the beach:) Who's with me?Photo: Here
Palm Springs Weekend ...
Good morning! So last Friday I mentioned being where there was sunshine, lush, green, grass and a great pool ... well, here's where I was! We were in Palm Springs over the weekend and just got back yesterday. Every year my parents rent out a house for the whole family to hang out and enjoy before everyone's summer madness. How amazing is this backyard? This was our view every day and every time I'd walk out here I'd get such a calming feeling. It was like getting a warm hug from Mother nature:) My favorite part of the day was the early morning when I'd get my coffee and sit outside with the sun already glistening and warm. Ahhh, I miss you already Palm Springs.
Jemaine? ...
When I first saw this photo I thought, how cute do they look? And then I got excited when I realized it's Jemaine from Flight of the Conchords! Look at Jemaine looking all come hither. Doesn't that show crack you up? My favorite is Mel, their #1 fan. Sorry, I digress ... the photo. I'm pretty sure this girl's hair is crimped. I used to spend unnecessary amounts of time in middle school crimping my long hair and making sure the pattern did not overlap. Just so I could go to school the next day looking like a mad lioness. Goodness gracious! Anyhow, I like how they were captured, don't you? Although I wish she were wearing just a touch of gloss over that matte lipstick. Hope everyone has a great weekend! Mine has already started and involves sunshine, lush green, grass and a great pool. I will report on it Monday:) Group hug!

Quick! Who Is This? ...
Took me a few to realize it's Taylor Swift! Doesn't she look great? She even looks sexy and girl is barely showing collar bone! Now that's shocking!

It Works ...
Somehow the blonde hair, brown eyebrows, heavy black liner and lashes totally work. Stunning, no?Photo: Here
Yes & Yes ...
These two would make fast friends in my closet. My jeans would certainly welcome them with open arms. Love the Stones reference on the tee. I'm very much a t-shirt and jeans girl at heart. And worn in brown boots? Bonus. Photo: Here
Fight The Oil! ...
Sometimes we don't realize just how much power we have. My hairstylist Cat was telling me that their salon was collecting all hair clippings that are swept up each day and donating them to an organization called Matter Of Trust. Why? Because hair is an efficient and abundant material for collecting and containing not just the oil on our heads, but petroleum spills! Matter Of Trust stuffs the hair into recycled nylons and covers them in mesh to make booms and this brilliant contraption soaks up oil like you've never seen. These are being sent as we speak to the awful spill along the Gulf Coast. It's great, you can watch the process here. Groomers are doing this too! Isn't that amazing? Photo: Here
