peep show
I have been working on a very sexy easter project and I am so excited to share it with you all. Cue sexalicious music: bow chikka bow wow!
The red lace onesie…the star pasties…the bare bunny…it’s all so seductive! Oh and did I mention that this lovely piece of art is for sale in my etsy shop? Oh baby…you know you want these marshmallow minxes hanging on your wall at your easter celebration. It certainly would be a conversation piece ;)
UPDATE!!! This item has been sold (wow that was fast!), but I would be very happy to make more of these slutty bunnies for anyone who asks!!!
spring is just around the corner!
On Monday the weather made for a perfect almost-spring day…just what every girl wants on Valentine’s Day! I was able to bust out an outfit that consisted of a button-up shirt and a pea coat, instead of the usual long sleeve shirt, then pullover sweater, then zip-up sweatshirt, then big puffy jacket topped off with a beanie and a scarf. And I didn’t even wear tights under my jeans! I think my California body doesn’t take to the cold very well, hence all the extra layers, so thank goodness it is starting to warm up. It’s supposed to be 65* on Friday and I can guarantee you that all of the New York fashionistas will be showing off their freshly shaved legs :) Here is my valentine attire <3
let’s go together
I just wanted to wish you all a very sweet Valentine’s Day weekend! I know the holiday isn’t until Monday, but I have a feeling that most people will be partying it up this weekend…just an excuse to celebrate for two extra days ;) And for all you single ladies out there…grab your girls and let them know how much you love them! This is a celebration of love, after all <3
Timmy and I are heading to Montauk for a romantic winter getaway (yaaaaaay roadtrip)!!! We hope you all have a great weekend filled with love and (hershey’s) kisses!

birthday girl
Whenever people ask me how old I am, I have to take a moment to think about the correct answer. I usually end up saying “twentyyyyy………..(long pause) three? four?” On Sunday I turned 25 and I think that will be easier to remember since everyone keeps reminding me that now I’m a quarter of a century old. In fact I got enough quarters to do a load of laundry. Ohhhh thank you friends! A week before my birthday my mom sent me a beautiful package filled with amazing jewelry, big cozy sweaters, and my favorite childhood book “Bridge to Terabithia”. It’s all worn and loved and it even had my name written in it from when I was in grade school. What a nostalgic kick!
On Sunday Tim took me out to brunch with our friend Sasha, her birthday was a week before mine so we had some celebrating to do! We tried this really cute Brazilian/Pan Latin fusion restaurant called Esperanto that was so funky and cute, and we had guava mimosas which were so sparkly and yummy! Perfect morning fare. Then we took advantage of the warm, sunny 40* day and walked around the city, hitting up a pastry shop in Chelsea for some macarons (YUM!), shopping at Buffalo Exchange, trying to shop a 60% off sale at LF Stores (with no success), best cappuccino ever at Stumptown at the Ace Hotel, dinner at Luzzo’s for a delicious wood-stove cooked pizza, cupcakes at Butter Lane for dessert, then a trip to the Russian Baths for a late night steam! WOW! We were busy :) There’s so much pressure to have a “great day” on your birthday, and just to let all you well-wishers out there know…I really truly did!
What will you wear?
On the loveliest day of the year, what will you wear to make a statement on Valentine’s Day? What little number will you put on to make his jaw drop and to feel like a billion bucks? Allow me to make a suggestion (or two!).
Visit our SHOP to be the lucky owner of one of these Little Black Dresses and knock his socks off!
NYE bohemian photo shoot
In keeping with #4 of my new year’s resolutions, Tim and I welcomed in 2011 with a hippie dippie photo shoot. I bought this dress at Top Shop a few months ago knowing that I had nowhere to wear such a daring neckline but needing it with all of my being. I love the soft cream color, the delicate gold-threaded details, the plunging neck, the sweeping length, and the fluttering sleeves…it’s heaven in a dress. Tim tried to persuade me not to buy it…not because of the way it looked on me (believe me, no guy would turn down that decolletage!), but because it was just so impractical (damn him and his reasoning!) He said that, knowing me, I would NEVER wear it and that it was such an expensive item to just hang there in my closet. Well my dreams of photo shoots in a meadow, and on the beach, and in the mountains, and in the desert basically convinced me that I would wear it…lots of times. And to prove him right, that night we went home and I put it on as we watched our nightly television. I’m classy like that. He was right, of course. I can’t think of anywhere I would wear it in the real world, but in keeping with resolution #3, I’ll just have to force myself wear it to the market or the laundromat :)
How’d you like to spend Christmas…
on Christmas island…how’d you like to spend the holiday way across the sea!
Tomorrow is Timmy’s birthday and we are celebrating it by going on a super sunny sandy beachy palm-tree filled cruise to the Bahamas! It’s a seven day cruise so that means we’ll be gone for Christmas too and I can’t wait to trade in the chilly 30* weather for the wonderful high 70s :) Ohhhhh heaven, thy name is WARMTH! We’ll be back the day after Christmas and I can’t wait to share our dreamy pictures with you all!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS LITTLE DARLINGS!
Christmas time is here!
We’ve hung the stockings, decorated the (miniature, NY appropriate) trees, and started listening to the holiday songs…now all that’s left to do is fill this apartment with smells of Christmas goodies baking in the oven!
Today we spent the day attempting to see Black Swan at a crowded theater, refunding our tickets and deciding on another day, eating delicious almond-crusted french toast at MUD, thrifting some really cool books to add to our (and by “our” I mean “my”) library, and trying to get my etsy shop up and running! I have a few really great things to sell for the holidays and I hope you find them sweet enough to purchase ;) Here is a sneak peak of the projects I’ve been working on, and hopefully the shop will be up by tonight so that you can grab your faves before they’re gone!
Here’s what I wore today…I’m loving my new knit beanie from urbs and stiletto booties from wet seal!!!
and the sweetest picture ever of my honey pie!

California Girls love Halloween!
Hello November…nice to see you. It seems as though you’ve brought your friends Rain and Gloom. They weren’t really invited, but I guess they can come in. I hear back in LA it’s 97 degrees today…I see that Sunshine and Happiness had a better party to go to. Yes, I’m bitter…and cold.
October came and went so fast, and with it of course we added a bulk of awesomeness to the shop, got a cold that hasn’t really left, and ate way too much candy than is ever necessary. We still have a lot of it left, and I’m actually eating a Reese’s peanut butter cup right now so I guess I don’t feel too bad about the situation. Halloween was so much fun, we actually went to a party this year so we had to come up with super wonderful costumes. Being a California Girl at heart, it seemed an appropriate choice to be a Katy Perry confection from her Candy Land inspired video. I made my dress, bought a wig and some sparkly tights and et voila! Tim decided that dressing up as a pimped out Snoop Dogg wouldn’t do…so he chose to be a vintage candy man and looked so utterly adorable that I just wanted to eat him up! We danced the night away and had a blast :)
