Anyone who knows me well enough, knows I love coffee. It it one of my top five vices that I cant live without. It makes my day 100 times better knowing I’m up & charged with it’s delicious goodness. I’m quite picky & can usually tell when a cup of joe is just poo poo. It’s all about the beans & if the place cares enough to have their own special blend or at least one harvested with care, it makes me a happy camper. So, since I’m such a coffee snob, I had to try Swork. (Made LA Magazine & Sunset Magazine’s best coffee house lists) Up until visiting the place today, I had heard nothing but great things about the place & was extremely pleased to see it was all true. It’s a great, cozy place with amazing coffee & really nice people! There was plenty of seating, especially on this gloomy rainy day. Perfect day for a decadent chocolate fudge muffin, coffee & fashion magazines. Bliss…  Swork 2160 Colorado Blvd. Eagle Rock, CA 90041 t.323.258.5600

and yes that muffin was to die for…

choco-goodness!

a sea of macs and swork cups…

Omg, I want this…saw this while websurfing through Shopbop. I guess, I have become sort of obsessed with bows lately & who can help it? Bows are everywhere this spring, but this wallet makes me soo giddy. The lining is unmistakably Marc Jacobs; colorful & bold. I could totally see myself carrying this little plum treasure & enjoy shopping just a tad more when grabbing my debit card…xo

I discovered these not long ago & there isn’t much to say other than there are amazing. Perhaps the most realistic way I will ever own any of these iconic designs. Each shrunken down to their exact scale from Eames to Mies, who wouldn’t want these modern minis sitting on their desk or mantel? Fun! Fun! Fun!——- Mini Designer Blind Box Chairs sold through poketo.com

I’m not a huge valentine’s day fan (why should love be celebrated only one day?), but I do love all the insanely cute stuff that is made! I can’t help, but be charmed by all these sweet heart patterns & candy colored things… Yummy enough to eat! Well, if these were edible of course!

burberry heart bonanza!

so sweet & dainty!

no words...just stunningly perfect.

luckily it's raining quite enough in la for an umbrella this cute!

eeekkk! these are too cute!!!
