on mother’s day.

crochet/lace top – marshall’s // skirt – jcp {similar} // belt + coach bag – vintage/thrift

my mother’s day was perfect.  breakfast, shopping, a delicious steak dinner w/ wine, and a foot rub.  i’m quite certain i don’t want anymore munchkins, but i don’t know… does the amount of kiddos i pop out have anything to do with how royally i’m treated on mother’s day?  i’ll ask my husband and get back to you on that one.

until then, i hope you enjoyed your mother’s day!  {or at least pampered your own mama with lots of love.}

mom’s visit // day four

{in recognition of mother’s day, i thought i’d share a few photos from the last day of my mom’s visit.}

we had lunch then drove up mulholland highway to snap a few photos.
i can never get enough of the santa monica mountains!

later that afternoon i took the ladies on a hike – something they really wanted to do while they were here.

their visit went by way too fast!  i miss her so much already!

happy mother’s day, mommy friends.

have a lovely day.

what i wore:  jacket – soto {a local boutique} // blouse – marshall’s // leggings – sanctuary
booties – sam edelman // necklace - gagehuntley

loving :: gage huntley jewelry, duh!  amanda’s creations are fun and affordable.  great pieces to grow your collection.  she makes custom items as well!  also, don’t forget to enter the gage huntley giveaway!  it ends tomorrow.

reading ::  sullivan’s island by dorothea benton frank.  i finished a book while we were in big sur and the lodge had one of those “take a book, leave a book” deals, so i left mine and chose this one.  so far, i’m pleased!  a great beach read.  

watching :: nothing really.  our usual lineup i suppose.  i’ve been more interested in reading, so television hasn’t been a priority.  

thinking about :: going back to school.  {as if i have so much extra time.}  i may take a summer class at the local community college.  i’m looking forward to pumping my brain full of new information.  it feels a little stale these days.

anticipating :: a visit from my mom!  she’s flying in from IL on thursday.  i have a few fun things planned and cannot wait to spend time with her.  :)

listening to :: a lot of jazz!  so good for sitting outside after work, a glass of wine in hand.  hello summah!

working on :: home improvement ideas.  little things – more plants, a fresh coat of paint on furniture we already own, new curtains, some diy’s, etc…we’ve started making a list of summer projects!  i’m excited to get started.

wishing for :: another weekend away with my husband.

what are you up to?

happy sunday, friends.  have a good one!

EXTENDED – a giveaway // gage huntley designs

hello there!  i decided to extend this giveaway for two reasons.  1.  very few of you entered and it truly confuses me because 2.  these bracelets are amazing!  and i’ll admit, before tuesday, i hadn’t seen them in person and couldn’t attest to their quality, but after i hosted a shopping party with a few of my gf’s {gage huntley jewelry included!} i fell in mad love and had to buy two for  myself, as shown above.  plus…they were a big hit!  the bracelets are the perfect addition to your other bangles and whatnot – making your arm swag colorful and fun.  keep them for yourself or share with your besties - i see them as a more refined version of the friendship bracelets we used to share with our friends.  ;)

ps. amanda takes great pride in her craft and uses only the best beads and materials.  no plastic!

i am beyond smitten with this line and would lovelovelove to spend the entire summer frolicking in these bohemian inspired pieces.  unfortunately, the closest store is in south america.  or maybe…not unfortunately.  brazil, anyone?

grunge floral

jacket – uo // dress – gift, but get yours here // pants – target // heels – f21 // zodiac necklace – similar
long necklace – clydes rebirth

if you follow me on instagram, you may recall that i mentioned the possibility of selling “vintage”…again.  i say vintage in parentheses because a lot of the stuff i gravitate towards on my thrift trips are from the 70′s, 80′s and 90′s and let’s be honest, 80′s/90′s isn’t really vintage.  according to etsy, though…it is.  and that works to my benefit.  {thank you, etsy.}

so as i stood in front of dusty bins and a rolling rack full of vintage wares, i put my collection into categories… items i want to keep, styles that will sell, and ewwhatwasithinking.  the first item i pulled from the sell pile was this grunge floral baby doll dress from guess, circa 1990-something?  i don’t know.  i considered keeping it, because i like the print, but it’s a bit too big.  my thought was to style it up, take photos, post on the blog and then list it in the shop… but… i like it.  i really like it.  i envision wearing it with black tights and a floppy hat, maybe even a vest.  also… i’m doing that dress over pants thing i was telling you about.  remember?  basically, i’m keeping it.  and this is one of the reasons i don’t end up selling!  i get attached or i have “plans” to wear something or i sell an item that i wish i hadn’t.  it’s the name of the game i suppose.  it’s also a very easy way to become a hoarder. 

date night {ish}

blazer – uo // vintage tshirt // denim – 7forallmankind // booties – candies // vintage bag – flea market // glasses - firmoo // necklace - similar

okay, so it wasn’t a real date night.  but it was an impromptu decision and that’s gotta count for something, right?  we strapped zoey into her stroller and walked over to the oldest mexican joint in town.  we enjoyed chips and salsa and margaritas while our little miss ran around on the patio.  she’s at that age where going out to eat isn’t {typically} a fun experience, so it wasn’t a leisurely dinner.  we ate quickly and headed home.  regardless, any excuse to get out of yoga pants is fine by me!  vintage tee + boyfriend jeans + blazer = no brainer.

happy saturday!

street style // shahanna

shahanna // calabasas, ca

i kinda want to do this on a regular basis.  you know, awkwardly stalk strangers in public and then just as awkwardly ask them if i can take their photo.  it’s like… um, hi.  i dig your style.  can i take a few photos of you and put them on my blog?  {not weird at all.}  but once the subject agrees and the photos are taken, i look back at the end result and i’m smitten.  people are cool.  people have stories.  i bet shahanna has some good stories to tell.  i hope you can feel the realness of this woman…her laid back boho style is inspiring.

shahanna, if you’re reading this, thank you for being a good sport.
