Monica is…in lunch break heaven.

July 26, 2009Leave a comment

Sometimes amidst these tired wells at work, there is light at the end of tunnel…with a sandwich of course! When the day seems to drag on, the thought of having this delicious, simply crafted sandwich drives me wild. The lines are always long for Larchmont Village Wine Spirits & Cheese & sometimes they run out of meat or bread before 2pm, but for good reason. Freshly shaved turkey, fine cheeses, & savory balsamic vinegar make this lunch irresistible. How can they make this sandwich taste so good for so little? If you’ve not stumbled upon this little gem, arrive early before you’re the last person told “no more sandwiches”. Larchmont Village Wine Spirits & Cheese Neighborhood: Mid Wilshire
223 N Larchmont Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90004

I’m super pleased to have found this particular shade of red from Nars called Cruella. I’m not sure where this obsession with red lips came from, but anytime that I see it on my favorite “it” girls, I instantly think “that gal is gutsy”. It’s a dominating color & I guess it’s the fearless quality you feel when you have it on…sexy vamp!

i looooove this red!

the lips of my youth

the red lips of my adult life

It’s nearing fall & already I see drool-worthy leathery specimens! I love bags that are classic, but have a little edge & these have the right amount of punk sass, I can’t get enough of. The days of summer still linger on…

I heard this haunting song from the The Temper Trap, not too long ago, & was pleased to hear it threaded the movie 500 Days of Summer. It has the perfect continuous guitar riff, I crave in songs…so divine…so summer…sweet disposition.
