aren’t these cool?

earlier this week, i attended royal t’s recent art show & caught a glimpse of these clever shopping bags in their gift shop. cast of vices took something so simple, such as the typical “market” bag & transformed it into a buttery, soft handbag. needless to say, i will have to have this at some point. it’s silly enough to add a touch of whimsy, but super practical for all my day to day needs! 


coffeebar la…

i finally had a chance to visit coffeebar la, this weekend in downtown la. it was on my top 5 things to do this month & this beautiful place didn’t disappoint. vast & airy, it’s the perfect place for an invigorating cup of artisanal coffee. not only do they serve top notch blends & delicious treats, it has a great patio area essential for people watching & surfing the web. i’m beyond happy, this place is in my neck of the woods.

color blocking…

i’m not the most comfortable with color (i have drawers filled with black, grey, & white, oy!), but these outfits from zara’s recent lookbook are incredibly inspiring. these shots have me reconsidering, entering the bright side…
