being a los angeles native, i’m obsessed with all things “la”, so i had to have this guide that combines great resources & beautiful eye-candy. city of style was written by melissa magsaysay –  (style/beauty writer for the la times, fashion market editor for wwd) she brilliantly gathers tips, fashionable minds, & explains the sub-cultures behind one of the most stylish places in the world. if your looking for a fun poolside or coffee shop pick this one up…

one of my favorite go-to sites is need supply co. i love how everything is simply laid out with no frills & fussy web design. everything is always carefully curated. i couldn’t help but be inspired by their choices of print media & handbags that i compiled a mini post of my faves…

love this from neue graphic…

i’ve been so busy with work & other projects (its kinda great!) that i’ve been using instagram to capture everything for me! got a disneyland pass to take me back to childlike times, eating at my favorite breakfast place at the moment, & breaking out the neon nail polish! 

i love this print from bubby and bean! is has become my new screen saver! i’ve been a bit backed up with work, but i hope to get back to posting soon! i suppose, this is my mantra right now–trying to find the balance while juggling life, love, & work…

i always wondered where all this pretty chalk work had come from. i kept seeing it all over magazines & blogs, & felt a frenzy to see someone love typography soo much. dana tanamachi uses chalk (was obsessed with my elementary teachers blackboards!) to create these beautiful & temporary pieces of art. i love that the project she’s working on doesn’t require any piece of technology or fancy tools, just plain chalk. it’s inspiring to always remember to use what you’ve got…

can’t help but feel super drawn to anything summery and super bright, especially pink. i’ve been in an unexplainable funk, (weather related) that the idea of ordering up a cocktail, feet up, in palm springs, sounds amazing. the fact that it’s already april is a bit scary, (time sneaks up pretty fast!) but i’m super excited to wipe these blues away!
