the sycamore kitchen 2

the sycamore kitchenbreakfast is my absolute favorite meal of the day, so i’m always on the look out for new spots. i had only heard great things about the sycamore kitchen & had passed by the space weeks earlier while visiting the new steven alan space on la brea, which by the way has the best looks for spring! with a few friends, we planned a morning date (sweet stephanie & carmen!) & entered the airy space with a welcoming hello from the staff. the menu was a fresh mix of unique flavors & truthfully we couldn’t decide! after much debate, we all chose the pork belly hash & the hearty bowl was the perfect balance of savory. owners, karen and quinn hatfield score yet again with this perfect neighborhood addition…

palmsprings

perhaps the gloomy weather looming around the la skies, has me day dreaming of pool parties & sweet cocktails. the past few weeks have been quite exhausting & i’m dying for some mind clearing relaxation. you ever have those moments where everything that feels “just right” just doesn’t? it happens. no matter how “perfect” it may seem. i’m trying to move past those minor failures & stay onward. so, palm springs is my immediate “run to”. something about that place is magical, old school, & enchanting. i wanna hop in my car and just drive…palmsprings1palm springs4palmsprings6palm springs5palmsprings3

everytime i’m out shopping or around town, i keep thinking about this specific ralph lauren collection from his spring 2013 runway show. the colors, the flowiness of the fabrics & the bold shots of color. i’m on the hunt for things that remind me of these girls. being a lover of winter, i’m sort of shocked i’m welcoming the warm weather for a chance to wear something reminiscent a spring/summer in spain… bougainvilleas & sangria anyone?

hi guys! it’s been quite awhile since i’ve updated, but things are well and changing. i was working quite a bit and took on an internship that then developed into a new job! it’s quite exciting to start something new & figure things out. new is always good. in the meantime, i’ve been exploring new places (coffee shops, yep i can’t resist them!) & eating brilliant things. for now i leave you with shots from dripp in chino hills. this place is quite glorious, really. i mean, look at this place! i wish this wasn’t so far from me, i swear i would be here every single day. they have superb coffee and the staff is super nice (plus if you know what bruxies is you’ll know why this is an added plus near dripp) enjoy!

madewell shirts

hope everyone’s year is off to a great and positive start! i can’t wait to dive into new projects & plan much needed vacations…xx

today after visiting madewell at the americana, i can’t help but lust over these perfect shirts! they are so clean and would be great additions to any spring wardrobe, preferably mine! i have decided to challenge myself this year & purchase only things with “classic” appeal. no trendy stuff is going to sit in my closet anymore, year after year & wait for the great toss-out to goodwill. it stops now. what are some of your fashion goals this year? let’s hear ‘em…

porcelainblacknoir
i can’t escape that i adore black & that half of my closet is total darkness. it always feels right; chic, slimming, easy, sophisticated, & cool. i don’t mess with a good thing. i can’t even explain my fixation with porcelain black’s (singer, artist, & now designer) studded bucket bag from her new line noir by porcelain black. it’s the one thing i’ve been looking to add to my wishlist & it’s beyond affordable! and if someone could just gift those acne boots under my well lit tree, i’d just dieeee. hello christmas gift to me? yup…
