Wedding dress shopping is fun...
first of all… I’m not wedding dress shopping for myself! It’s for my friend sabrina— and it’s FUN! All of the dresses look the same, weird, blah, pretty, whatever- on the hanger and then look totally different once on. It’s pretty cool to see what is going to look great and then what turns out to actually look good! Yay- hopefully I will get to go with her...

My new topper... (i'm in love)
What a great day!! Worked out, had a great lunch, dog walks with beautiful weather… i couldn’t have asked for anything else! The weather has been pretty cool the last couple of days and I couldn’t be happier. I broke out my new topper and loved it with this crazy patterned skirt. I bought this jacket a few weeks ago and have been waiting oh, so patiently to break it out!...

when a good day goes bad...
(photos taken while day was still good)
Today started off really great. I slept in (ish) and woke up to Bob coming inside from taking the dogs for their morning walk. He had helped someone in front of the apartment jump start their car and was a little out of breath. He said he was in the mood for a cheeseburger and we started talking about lunch. Since I don’t wake up (because...

hot out/ hot pink...
Yeah… the hotter it gets the less creative my titles become. Watch out tomorrow when it’s going to be a scorcher… I probably won’t be able to type a complete word.
I’ve had this dress in mind (yes, that pink number is a dress) to wear with bright yellow. I saved a page from one of my magazines of a cute hot pink skirt and easy yellow top. Well…...

105 and climbing...
yep… that’s what my iPhone weather displayed today. let me just describe what 105 dry heat feels like- it feels like you are sitting in an oven on broiler and every couple of seconds someone turns up the dial. it is awful. i can’t wait until the weekend when it’s supposed to be down in the 70’s! are you kidding me? that will feel like such a relief!

hot as silk...
It was another hot and sticky day outside in beautiful Los Angeles. We woke up and after slowly getting out of bed, we headed to the gym. We’ve actually been really great about working out lately, and I’m loving it! I feel so much better afterwards and really feel like I could do anything.
Since it was so hot, I put on as little as possible- in the lightest fabric I owned....

Ladies Who Brunch...
Yay! First Ladies who Brunch was awesome!! A bunch of cool girls, getting together, meeting new people and reconnecting with old friends- it was such a great time. We already have tons of ideas and more people to invite for next month!
(from L to R: Rebecca, Meagan, Sabrina, Bridget, Chaplin, Kim, me, Mary Claire!)

Go Dodgers!
On Saturday night, Bob and I went to a Dodgers game thanks to tickets from my boss. We had quite an experience getting to the stadium as we decided to take the subway from our house. It took a little longer than we thought to get down there but was totally worth not paying to park. Also, when we finally did arrive, my boss came over to us and handed me $40 bucks for “beer...

Saturday is easy as...
Saturday was jammed pack from the moment we woke up until the second we laid back down. Errands and lunch and baseball games and bars… what a fantastic saturday!
This dress is one that my mom bought me right before I moved out to california. it totally has a retro vibe and I love the color and shape. Usually I wear it as a beach cover-up but today wore it to run all my errands. It...

A BBQ Friday...
Friday was a pretty great day. Bob had an audition in Hollywood so I tagged along and then we had a delicious BBQ lunch afterwards. We ate at Zeke’s BBQ, which in the past has been okay but Friday was actually really, really good. Maybe they changed cooks or something- whatever it was, was for the better!
Since it’s the last few weeks of “Summer” (and I put...

fish tacos and the fish dress...
hello roots! well… might have to push up that hair appointment after looking at these photos!!! eh…
Day two of working out and burning some serious calories and I have to admit- I feel awesome! Some time after returning from my RTW trip and reorganizing life here, I got lazy and hectic and didn’t find time to work out like I had before. Well, day two is done and I feel...

A WeHo Party...
Monday night, a big group of us went out to WeHo to meet Glenn’s bestie. We had a lovely dinner at City Wok and then drove Glenn’s new car to Sunset Blvd. We sat down with huge margaritas (that included a burrito), miller lite and great conversations!
Afterwards we walked over to The Standard and checked out the rooms. HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT! They were awful! I was...

a little thrifted wonder...
Monday, August 16, 2010
This was one of the things I scored when I went to the thrift store the other day. It’s pretty amazing AND I received two compliments just inside my apartment building!! It’s 80’s fabulous and fits like a glove. The back is zipper to the waist and then the cutest little red buttons you’ve ever seen. I’m in love (if you can’t...

don't wear white to the dog park...
is what i learned after today’s dog park extravaganza. oh, well- that’s what bleach is for, right?! The dog park was lovely- Meagan, Kate, Romeo, Bolt, and Dozer had the best time ever playing with each other and chasing other dogs. Romeo chased some people, too, but we don’t have to talk about that. The guy didn’t have any teeth- Romeo really cares about dental...

margaritas, mexican food and Jackson...
Welcome home, Jackson!!! After nine long months in Kuwait (yep, Kuwait!), Jackson is back! Since I missed out on the festivities last night, I was really excited to meet up for happy hour and catch up. Meagan, Kate and Glenn shared in on the margaritas and nachos and I had a pretty great time. I’m really happy Jax is back!
This dress is the result of a return to Anthropologie…...

Sunday/ Funday!
Today was awesome! Bob read a study that said if you smile, it will actually make you happier… So, if you’re feeling down, smile and hopefully you’ll start to feel better. eh- food for thought…
Anyway… Today we woke up pretty early because of the doggies and so I got all martha stewart and made blueberry pancakes. They were pretty delicious… Even Bolt...

Weekend Staples... (oh, and birthdays!)
This weekend may just have been the best weekend we’ve had in a long time! Long dog walks, hats, jean shorts, mini-golf, great friends, beer and pizza were all ingredients essential to creating that awesomeness.
First outfit is from Saturday. I basically wore these jean shorts the entire weekend and changed out the shirt for whatever activity we were doing. Saturday, Bob and I walked...

hot days, big hats...
this is another one of the hats Irene gave to me. isn’t it awesome?! I’m having so much fun playing dress- up with all of them. My dogs are loving them too… but not in the way I would like. Bolt tries to eat them- ugh!
I really like all the textures going on- the dress, the eyelet belt, my silk sandals, the hat…
Perfect day dress for walking around my...

Flying days...
This is what I wore on the flight out to Nashville. (A little late posting, as you can tell)
I went for a really casual, really comfortable, cute look that would keep me warm on the plane (I’m always freezing) but cool enough for Nashville heat. It worked perfectly!
I tried sticking to a color scheme of white, blue and green for the whole visit. I wore this long vest several days...

Family reunions, cute dogs and the biggest beer...
Bob and I taking glamour shots on the back porch!
cutest dog in the world award goes to: BOLT! this was his favorite spot on the deck- always laying out in the sun!
Family reunions at what may just be the best brunch place I’ve ever been to! French Toast Stuffed Pancakes… are you kidding me?!
Yes, this is the biggest beer I’ve ever consumed. It doesn’t compare...

Date Night!
Lately, Bob and I have gone on more date nights than in the last seven months and I love it! (Of course we were saving for a massive trip before… but still) It feels great to get all dressed up and go on a date.
I choose a simple, summer dress and stuck with black and white accessories. I really like how easy and put together this outfit looks. Plus, it was so comfortable!
Oh, and I...

When in Nashville, wear big hats!
Bob and I went to Nashville this past weekend to pick up our dogs and bring them back home to L.A. We had an incredible weekend with his parents, the dogs and a bunch of good ole southern charm. This was one of the days that we took the dogs for a walk, near Little Harpeth River.
Bob’s co-worker, Irene, had a bunch of old hats that her mother had made and gave them all to Bob. I love...
WatchWe arrived in Nashville on Saturday, and Bob made this little video about our first day back with them. Btw- I’m in love with them.
