happy easter!

it's Friday and I'm happy!

red, white and sky~blue

There is something so utterly feminine about a flouncy sundress with a skirt that swings! This one manages to be both retro and modern at the same time!

Listening to a little Grateful Dead today and celebrating 4~20~2011!




I remember going to one Grateful Dead show (about 20 years ago ...) and dressing totally inappropriately ~ or so my friend Gail who went with me told me! I think this outfit would have been the perfect choice to rock out to Gerry and the Band! 
Dress ~ Daytrip, Crochet Shoes ~ Baker, Beaded Bracelet ~ F21, Vintage Hat w/crochet lace trim that I added!

on the rocks . . .

Light blue ~ the color of the sky ~ is my color! I picked up this little dress at Wasteland in Los Angeles a few years back. There was no tag inside that revealed its origin and from the construction I could tell it was hand made. But when I slip this little jem on ~ I feel as though, it had to have been made just for me!!

happy days are here again!

After an 11 day stay at the hospital with my fiancee for a surgery he was having and then recovering from, I am so so so happy to be . . . . 

Shopping @ Target

I have been a fan of Target for many years because they are continually improving, commissioning designer lines and offering a diverse selection of good products at a fair price. Just last week I picked up this denim jumper (in the kids sections) for under 20 bucks! I added a belt and some fun heels to give it a more grown up feel!

Once in a while I stumble upon something really fresh ~ I like what he has to say.

. . . pondering picasso

Pablo Picasso has been one of my favorite artists  ever since I was a child. I distinctively remember the first time I saw his Petite Fleurs (below) when I was 7 years old and how wildly I reacted to it! In the countless art classes I took all through high school and college he was always my greatest inspiration ~ as he seemed to be able to work in every medium while maintaining his signature style. So recently when I came across this quote by him, "Good artists copy, great artists steal" it stuck in my mind, because I guess its kind of fun to wonder exactly what he meant by this. What's your interpretation?!

Layers

This "hot pink" Jean Paul Gaultier for Target slip dress has been hanging out in my closet for a while now, but after layering on top this little black sheer lace over~dress from F21, it felt brand new!

Summer Sundress!

Yesterday was a glorious day ~ we had near 80 degree weather at the beach and sunshine! It felt like August! So this "light as a feather" off the shoulder, silk scarf dress from Zara was the perfect choice to soak up a little vitamin D!

Sorry guys ~ just didn't feel like posting today . .  I'll make up for it Mañana!!

The Bazaar

A visit to SAAM @ the Bazaar is a decadent dining experience. Chef José Andrés crafts a unique multi-course tasting menu of modern creations and traditional flavors. My favorites were the caviar cones and cotton candy martinis!
