Girl Power

Here are some of my current favorite songs + videos, and they all happen to be fronted by fabulous ladies! Also, just on a side note, I like the new She & Him record, but I admit that Volume Two holds a soft spot in my heart because I listened to it heavily when I was first moving in with Chris. <3

Regina Spektor - Don't Leave Me (Ne Me Quitte Pas)

She & Him - Don't Look Back

Adam Green & Binki Shapiro - Just To Make Me Feel Good

Kina Grannis - In Your Arms

Mother's Day Festivities + Outfit Post

Today was a great but tiring day. We began with a Mother's Day Brunch with Chris' family that was at a quaint hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Glendale called Bashan. I didn't know what to expect when walking in but oh my goodness the food was amazing! We had our choice for appetizer, main course and dessert. These were some of our selections:

Pork Belly “Teriyaki”

Crispy Rice Cake, Togarashi, Braised Scallions, Pickled Apples

Chilled Sweet Pea Soup

Crunchy Wasabi Peas, Crème Fraiche, Chives, Smoked Paprika Oil

Chocolate Bread Pudding

chocolate sauce, vanilla ice cream, cocoa nibs

Crème Fraiche Cheesecake

Graham Cracker Walnut Streusel, Dulce de Leche, mocha almond fudge Ice Cream

One of my all time favorite stores is Anthropologie. Their latest looks for spring are nothing short of gorgeous, from their brightly-hued dresses to their whimsical printed tops such as this one, I'm in love. I went a little crazy the other day during their one-day only 15% off sale and picked up a pair of the most comfortable pants on earth. AG's are the best brand ever. They fit like a glove and never stretch. I couldn't help but also grab this silk blouse, as well. Naturally I paired this cheery outfit with my yellow flats, and my new floppy hat. Today was a good day, indeed!
