I would like a…new camera.

I seriously miss taking pictures. When I actually had a respectable camera (back in the days when we had film), I used to take so many photos that I would spend most of money purchasing & developing film. Now that digital has taken over, I’m longing for a nifty camera that can roll with me through my adventures (mostly food). I found some that are on my wish list…love the “vintage” look shutter bugs. Umm maybe I have a thing for Leica’s?

I have been listening to the new Tegan & Sara album Sainthood nonstop for two weeks straight & can’t get enough! Supremely melodic & extremely addicting, it’s easily my new favorite album right now. Check out a performance of them on Conan…

Monica is…a sucker for great packaging.

I am a lover of fancy packaging. I love when something that I use everyday looks pretty. It’s sort of shallow, but if it looks special then in a weird sort of way, I feel special. Life is hard enough as it is, and if something simple makes you smile then why not? Right? So, stumbling upon Help was such a fun find! Its a smart & edited company that takes ordinary first aid items and makes them easier to use and carry around. Way better than carrying like 100 things in your purse & if your like me, I tend to have a lot of mishaps at work. Sleek & discreet, the packaging is made from molded paper pulp & it’s bio-degradable! I love this! Wish I had thought of this!

pillowtalk For no particular reason, (other than he’s my music/foodie crush!) Mayer Hawthorne is awesome. Now even more so. I must find this and fill my greedy need for snobby coffee. Anyways here’s a few shots from Saturday night’s Hermosa Beach performance at Saint Rocke. He kept it classy even when a girl in the crowd was telling him to “take his pants off”. (ugg really? how un-classy!) Pillow talk it is… Intelligentsia Coffee Bar 323.663.6173 3922 W Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90029

It’s chilled a bit in L.A. I’m so excited about wearing sweaters, coats & hoping for a glimmer of rain! Waking up to clouds & cool winds reminds me of hot chocolate, curling up with a good book, & that the holidays are around the corner. Just a few shots of faves for the fall…
