Rainy Days

The weather here has taken a turn and I couldn't be more happy. I love rain and everything it brings with it. I love the smell of the fresh and clean air and vibrancy of colors afterwards. Even though this outfit is not vibrant in any way, it is my idea of a perfect rainy day outfit. Pretty funny since I will probably be spending these rainy days inside in my comfy clothes watching movies, cooking, and spending time with our little family. Happy Weekend!

Jill Stuart

These three looks from Jill Stuart for Fall 2011 really caught my eye. Such great color combinations. I didn't even think I was a fan of orange until I saw these. Love a surprise.

A Love Thing

One of my favorite songs ever! I thought it was perfect for today. Happy V-day!

Can I Get A...

After having such a great last weekend, I should have known this week was going to kick my ass. Sheesh! I'm so happy it's over. Now on to my favorite part of the week. The end. So looking forward to no real plans, except for organizing our house. That is kind of a " Oh hell no" in my book but I'll be happy and relieved when it's all said and done and can enjoy the calm that comes with a clean and organized home. So... I'm off. Enjoy your weekend!

Tees Please

I'm loving the cut and print on these great oversized tees by Uzi found over at Totokaelo. So tempted to buy one. Right. Now.

For The Kitchen



I spotted these handmade cork jars over on Modish and I think they are just what my kitchen needs. I love them so. Even though I have been put on a little bowl buying ban from Alex since I always come home with at least one after a thrift outing, these seem to cute to pass up too.

Our Weekend



We had such a wonderful weekend. Nothing beats days spent celebrating the birthdays of two amazing little ladies with friends and enjoying the beautiful weather we have been having here. Saturday we kicked off the festivities with Mila's first birthday. To make the day even better than it already was, we got to see her walk! On her own! Many, many steps! Last time I saw her, which was only a couple weeks ago she was still holding onto things so it was beyond a happy moment watching her set off on her own. On Sunday we spent the day in Balboa Park celebrating Lolli's second birthday. It was such a pretty day out and made so much better by watching how happy the birthday girl was. Lolli is one of those kids that makes even us reconsider not having any kids of our own. Such a smart and funny little one. To round out the weekend we got together with a few friends for a little adult time at a newish wine bar in our old neighborhood called The Rose Wine Pub. Great friends and wine with hilarious conversation equals a very successful end to a perfect weekend. Hope you had a great weekend too!

Year Of The Rabbit

 Since today marked the start of Chinese New Year , celebrating the year of the rabbit, I only thought it was fitting to post a little bun on here. This bunny is seriously on my wish list. So cute!

Easy Breezy

I know it's only wednesday but my mind is already focused on the weekend. With two birthday parties to attend and the weather forecasting temperatures in the mid 70's both saturday and sunday, who could blame me. This would be the ideal outfit for our weekend frolicking. For me that is :)

Photos from the month that seemed to fly by. Courtesy of my iPhone. I'm looking forward to the month ahead though. Lots of fun things going on!!

Starting the year off right with a bloody mary at the Ace, my bestie and the hubby, breakfast in Palm Springs, on the road again, a day in the park with koo and friends, a walk around the lake, surprise visit from my friend Yvonne brings the ladies out to lunch, getting ready for a rare night out, pho at our favorite local spot, the enlightened one, a delicious breakfast of chilaquiles made by the man of the house, a visit with friends on their patio that I love, a view from our balcony at home

Saturday



Our house has been under a bit of construction for the past couple of weeks so today we set out to avoid drywall fragments and paint fumes and headed out to the tide pools in Point Loma. It's pretty strange because in all the years I have lived in San Diego, on and off, I've never been. It was really pretty but way too crowded. I didn't even get any pics of any critters. Still a lovely morning and a nice getaway. So needed.
