If I have a day off & I don’t have a silly errands to run, I always try to make a trip to Surfas Restaurant Supply & Cafe. It’s not only an amazing store will thousands of kitchen knick knacks, but also filled with a super nice staff & delicious cafe! I literally comb the aisles because there is always something new to explore, test, & ogle. I love coming here for an afternoon lunch & a plus is parking right out front. Yay! Surfas Cafe 8777 W. Washington Blvd. Culver City, CA 90232

plenty of chairs and free Wi-Fi!

the berry lemonade is soo delicious

i love all this variety…

Umm, why did I just find out about 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

I’m so incredibly sick. I have this monster cold, and the weather in L.A. has been most annoying. 90 degrees one day, rain another, & now bearable partly sunny. I hate being sick it makes me want to do nothing, but I guess I should use this time to read, post & catch up with my “daily doses”.

So, after Tasha Nita Adams from Mondette, formerly Blackburn & Sweetzer (incredible L.A. blog!), posted this gorgeous navy messenger bag from Clare Vivier, I fell in love with the simple, clean lines of this buttery looking bag. Such a perfect size for everyday & the best part is that you can wear it two ways! I seriously have been on this “messenger bag” kick ever since I purchased a mid-size black, Marc by Marc Jacobs & a Coach style, a few months back. Clare’s messenger bag comes in four great colors (black, aubergine, gray & brown) perfect to match fall outfits! I think I’m love…cause I can’t stop thinking about it…gotta save my rainy day money for this…

These Belle by Sigerson Morrison boots would look so great with the gray bag…

Thank You…Miss Evangelista.

I saw this recent picture of Linda Evangelista, at one of the 2009 Fashion Week parties & loved her entire look. When I was younger, she was my favorite supermodel from the 90’s “fashion royalty”. I still remember having her W Magazine cover taped near my bedside, youthful & beautiful. These current pieces remind me of her editorials from the past…
