We're back! So long, summer...

Wow, can you believe that summer is already over? I sure can't. I bet you've been wondering where I've been. I had a lovely summer, working by the beaches in Malibu for two months. It was fun, I got a lot of sun (way too much for my liking), took a 24 hour trip to Las Vegas for an Elvis festival, took countless trips to Palm Springs (my new favorite getaway), and now I'm back in full swing here at home in the city. I have a lot of great posts to share coming up this month, including new recipes, a small porch makeover, wishlists, giveaways, and more, so stay tuned!    xo

Psst... the photo above was taken the day that I got to see Paul McCartney in concert at Dodger Stadium in August. It was unreal. Truly a bucket list moment for me. This was pre-concert when my hair was teased and I'd just purchased this dress from one of my new favorite stores downtown - Flamingo Vintage

// Check out the latest issue of Rosieteapot which I was lucky enough to be featured in this month! Rosie is so talented, and I love how she managed to squeeze in a couple of shots of Ringo's face around the whole magazine. So much love for this girl!

New Blog Topic - Favorite Films

I think I'm going to start incorporating some of my favorite films into blog posts! I have been on a huge Beatles kick lately. They are my all-time favorite band and I have been watching their films like crazy since I was in high school, so I figured I might as well talk about them a little here! For those who haven't seen their sophomore movie, get to it. It's definitely not groundbreaking and the plot is very silly, but.. it's The Beatles! All of their musical scenes are magical, the house they live in is totally amazing. I mean, John's bed is under the floor and it's filled with books! Paul has a white organ that raises from the floor, George has his own lawn (and personal lawnmower) and Ringo has his own soda machines, one filled with actual oranges. This movie is full of fun, great music, and it makes me so happy to watch every time.

 

 

I believe you can watch the whole film on this youtube clip above. I hope it stays up forever!

Mini Outfit Post + More

Here are some photos of what I've been up to lately, including an outfit I wore over the weekend. I re-discovered this old dress and knew instantly that my cat shirt from Forever21 would be perfect underneath it. I added an old Anthropologie skinny belt and some silver flats to match, and voila! I also had to wear my new donut earrings, courtesy of Little Sweet Thing on Etsy. They are so adorable! I also got pink macaron cookie earrings as well. Check out Karen's shop for your fix of cute sweet jewelry and other accessories!
