neon fix…

i think subconsciously, i want it to be summer. perhaps i’m sick of the gloomyness of winter & my daydreams swarm with palm springs, neon nails, & deep tans… i’m feeling this grouping of neons, strappy sandals, & compartments.

paper crown…

say what you will about reality tv star, lauren conrad,  (people always harp on reality tv personalities) but for me her style is always on point. she has a keen ability to always have that perfect mix of california ease, with a touch of elegance, & thats what inspires me about her looks. paper crown is her first design endeavor (plus she also started the fun blog, the beauty department) & judging from these lookbook shots she’s got her first fashion gig down! 

if i had some extra cash…

….i would totally go nuts on my hair ( a la gwen stefani style ) & tote around this beautiful celine compartmental satchel ( i literally can’t stop imagining myself lingering around town or traveling with this beauty ). oh my love affair with bags never ends…

california love…

a special piece from yellow owl workshop, that i have to have! follow them on twitter here! 

paper goods & little shots of gold…

i will never stop being a paper nerd. ever since i can remember, shopping for school supplies before a new school year was major event. lisa frank, trapper keeper, you name it, i had it all. so now as a grown-up, i still look for fun things to write on & take some pleasure knowing that even with all this technology nothing beats an old-fashioned hand written note. these pads from 0-check have become my new obsession for their simplicity & sheer cleverness (they all have the funniest little quotes with a touch of quirk) i can’t wait to start scribbling away…

ps…these earrings i snagged up the other day are so cool, i couldn’t resist…
