Happy Weekend Everyone! ...

I love this zebra print Jamie has here in her bar area. I would love to work that into a closet, small bathroom or kids room one day. It's so fun.

Just read an interview with the funny and talented Jamie Meares in High Gloss magazine (p. 56-57). She has great style and of course I've always liked her blog. Good weekend reads if you get the chance.

Speaking of the weekend, any plans? We're pretty much prepping for 100% chance of rain this weekend in usually sunny Southern California. So in preparation for this wet weather I made chili–our rainy comfort food. Other than that our biggest task this weekend is buying P her first set of soccer shoes (or "boots" for all you hooligans) and shin guards. She starts her spring soccer program next week and we are so excited. Can't wait to watch her team buzz around like little bees on the soccer field.

Wishing everyone a great weekend! Group hug:)

I Don't Know, But I Like It ...

I have no idea what's going on in this backstage photograph by Derek Hudson, but I like it. The random goings-on of the model with her hair did, chatting on the phone while apparently checking out the chic mom-to-be. And mom-to-be looks so effortless in her style and consumption of water doesn't she? So great.

Natural House ...

And a good morning it would be waking up in this Andersson•Wise built home every morning. Isn't it beautiful? I love their philosophy, "... our work seeks to reinforce both the physical and emotional connections already established in a locale ..." Naturally.

Vintage Love ...

Weren't Johnny and Winona so cool together? This made me happy when I saw it. The good 'ol days. Remember when Johnny got "Winona Forever" tattooed on his arm and then had the "na" removed when they broke up resulting in "Wino Forever?" Ahh, young love.

Popsicle Lips ...

Wow. Don't know what I love more. The smokey, green eyes or the popsicle stain lips. While it works here with her expression, I'm not so sure this would translate as well at the office or for everyday. So handle with care. Otherwise, I really think this is an amazing capture.

The Couple We Know & Love ...

Garance and Scott tell of their great and stylish love story that, in the beginning, "wasn't a love thing."

Happy Valentine's Day ...

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Hope you had a good weekend. Went to the cutest baby shower on Saturday in Venice. It was the first co-ed/family baby shower I'd attended and it was the first baby shower for twins I'd been to. It was so great! Kids were running around everywhere including two sets of twins. The house where the shower was was so cool and had just undergone an addition that I wish I had taken photos of but I was too busy keeping an eye on my own two kids and nursing my sangria;) Yay for me!

Have A Filled Weekend ...

I'm sure many of you have plans this weekend since Monday will be madness and is a workday. So tell me, what are you up to? I have to say that I've enjoyed celebrating Valentine's through our 4 year old daughter this year. They wore pink & red today to school (Monday's a holiday), passed out valentine's and decorated cupcakes. Remember doing stuff like that? Valentine's is probably the best when you're a kid. And hello ... everyone's single! Life is funny, isn't it? Well, I hope everyone, single or not, has a wonderful weekend! Group hug:)

P.S. If you haven't already, you should check out these cute e-valentine's from Kate Spade ...

Valentine Ideas For Him (or me) ...

I began putting this idea collage together with the boys in mind. But truth be told, most of this list could very well be for me. I'm such a tomboy at heart–I didn't wear a skirt until the latter part of middle school. Yup. Wouldn't the sling shot look cool framed on your desk or on an office wall? It would kind of tell people not to mess;) Anywho, I hope it gives you some good ideas for gifting someone you love.

Fashion Week Essentials (envy) ...

Natalie Joos, Casting Director & Blogger.

Harley Viera-Newton, DJ

Fashion week is currently taking place and well, I'm not there. Boo. However, I will live vicariously through Natalie Joos and Harley Viera-Newton who are at fashion week and who both shared what their fashion week essentials are. Love Natalie's glasses and fun spirited kit. Harley's too of course, but can we talk about her leather Hermès gloves with those studs?! Amazing.
