Monica is…veggin’ out post hike.

Post hike…my buns and legs hurt! I suppose this means I had a kick ass work out! Bye bye tight jeans! Nothing makes me happier than coming home to a new Nylon magazine, a witty post from Alexi Wasser from Im Boy Crazy, & a crisp cool drink. Sienna Miller is hotness in this spread! Homewrecker or not, I like her flirty style and those legs…envy.

Monica is…a she wolf.

Today has been one of those easy, feeling good days. I went on a hike earlier & got my sweat on! I’ve been on this getting in shape kick. I was feeling like such a slob these past few months & that muffintop, I loathed on others was slowly making its way onto my favorite pair of jeans. Ugg! So in the spirit of Shakira‘s new video She Wolf, I’m gonna keep working my buns off because after looking at this….no more junk food! She looooks amazing!

Monica is…in lunch break heaven.

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

Monica is…”cruella” red.

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!

Monica is…handbag obsessed #2.

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
