Beachie Time

Heading to the beach for a much needed getaway.

Looking forward to family style meals, caiprinhias, hot tub time, misty jogs, lots of friends, sleeping in, and some much needed r&r.

There is even talk of a dog pile on the california king in the master suite for a Gilmore Girls revival. No promises.

Did anyone get a chance to see the wedding of Kelly and Joseph she shot? It was featured on 100 layer cake this week. See it here and here.

Leah, so sweet and so amazingly talented.

I have posted about Ross Racine's work in the past. It is nice to have an affordable option to add to my collection of art.

Heidi Merrick Fall '10

This collection embodies everything I want in cool weather clothes. Mixes of texture, opaque black tights, minis, strong tayloring and details with a little bit of sparkle.

This time of year starts to get painful. I'm not done with sunshine and warmth but I am dying for new fall clothes.

My Brain

Has been functioning like this for the past two weeks.

Maybe it is just trying to adjust to the fact that I do NOT live on a tropical island and in a week I am entering my 30th year.

Dinner Party Download

While in KL Cody turned me onto the Dinner Party Download.

It is a short 30 minute podcast. It starts with a joke and continues with small talk ideas like current news stories, little known music acts, historical facts and a cocktail idea.

Everything you need to pull of a meal with a bunch of people you don't know seamlessly.

Todd Selby for Louis Vuitton travel.

Great art directions and styling. I particularly love the Waris Ahluwalia section. It looks like where JP would live if she moved to the big city.

I am usually anti-Flash but this site is above and beyond. My little web designing heart flutters a bit with envy.

This was my exact evening last night. No sleep.
