Los Angeles Snapshots

a

So... the real reason for my little hiatus last week? Our trip to Los Angeles! I was going to line up some guest bloggers for the week but procrastinated until it was too late. At the last minute I realized I had never posted all those abandoned house photos so I just used those instead. Quite frankly, I was bit tired of seeing my mug staring back at me from the computer screen by the end of the week! I've got about a gazillion photos from our LA trip and I'll be sharing those with you over the next few weeks as I get them sorted. I swear you might think we've actually moved back to LA you'll be seeing so many photos from there. ;) Since I was a bit tired of me-photos I thought I'd start off by sharing some of our casual snapshots taken with my little point-and-shoot. We spent the week hanging out with old friends, eating tons of amazing food, walking around downtown and Hollywood and even spent a night in the desert. Lots more photos and stories to come!

Madewell Fall 2011

I know it's probably breaking some sort of blogging law to post a fall collection a day after posting a spring collection in the middle of May, but honestly this weather has me so confused about the seasons I hardly know what month it is. So when I saw the preview for Madewell's fall line I figured now was as good a time as any to check it out. Things I spy that I like; wide leg jeans, mid-calf skirts, rugby striped dress and all the shoes!

Sally Scott Spring 2011

a

When checking out all of the usual spring collections I almost completely forgot about Sally Scott. I always like the simple styles and the clean presentation that so many Japanese websites offer. In this collection I especially like the matching dresses and headscarves which is a bit strange since I don't usually go for matchy sorts of things. They remind me of ladies in the 60s going on vacation to windy beaches and keeping their hair tied neatly out of their faces.

Alexandra Grecco

Hello! I'm baacck! If you're reading this, thanks so much for sticking around during my week long break. It was much needed and much enjoyed. The last time I checked my blog feed it had over 1000 unread posts so... I just marked them all as read and moved on. Too much to catch up on! I'm sure I missed out on a few things here and there during the past week but one thing that caught my eye was the good news that Alexandra Grecco is having a trunk show at Bloomingdale's Soho on May 19th. Isn't it wonderful when good things happen to lovely, talented gals? If I was in NYC I would definitely be hauling myself over to Soho to check out these pretty pieces in person.
