Downtown Redlands Art Walk

April 26, 2016

Hi there!
I hope everyone is doing well today. I had a lovely relaxed weekend and then came back to a very busy workplace so I’m definitely glad that I had that time to decompress. Mark and I attended the Spring Downtown Redlands Art Walk on Sunday, and wow, I must say.. It gets bigger and more exciting every time we go. They had bike ramps set up, artists using spray paint to create massive works of art live as onlookers awed, and lots of great local spots that had set up pop-up restaurants for dining on the go.
This was our third time attending, and while I was sooooo close to buying a piece of framed art (a gorgeous botanical sketch), I left only with a hand painted card with the most intricate yet simple pattern of grey & white dots scattered about it. I’ve wanted to walk away with a great sketch or oil painting for some time now, but just can’t seem to make the jump to actually purchasing a substantial piece. I really am regretting not picking up that sketch though, because I got home and found the perfect spot for it! Oh well, perhaps next time.
It really brings me a huge amount of hometown pride to attend events like this. To live in a town that supports and nourishes all of it’s creative minds is incredible. Yes, we have great food and plenty of places to shop, parks and historical locations to explore.. But what sets us apart from other small towns is how much we really allow artistic minds to shine.
I’d love to hear from you, what is your town best known for?

Casual Pineapple and My New Fave

September 2, 2015

It is with great pleasure that I introduce to you the newest member of my accessories family.. This lovely (and functional, it’s also a crossbody!) Botkier bag! I’d been wanting to own one of their pieces for a while, after falling in love with the Cobalt Trigger Small Satchel and the Black Trigger Crossbody I received from Rent the Runway.

This one took some effort to finally have in my possession, after the package containing it, two scarves and a necklace purchased from Rent the Runway were stolen off my front porch 🙁 I had to re-purchase it and wait another week for it to get to me, but I’ve been so happy with it ever since! It’s got oodles of places to put all of my necessities and a unique magnetic closure instead of a zipper for the main compartment.

I love a casual, effortless look like this that’s still put together. It’s always great to add in a surprising element (color, texture, print) to a white tee and jeans, and this adorable pineapple print scarf did just the trick!

Artisanal LA with OOTD

May 4, 2015

I swear, I should live in LA for how many events I end up attending in the area! Last weekend, we went to the Artisanal LA expo, this weekend, the Gluten Free Expo, and day after tomorrow, Mark and I will be going to a concert at the Disney Concert Hall. Since I’m a smidgen behind in posting, ahem, I will first share photos from last weekend. Artisanal LA is a collection of vendors selling everything from pickled veggies to freshly charred s’mores to vintage dresses and potted succulents. We picked up several goodies, like spicy green beans, ancho chili and tamarind sauce, small-batch chocolates, and of course, I grabbed a couple of things from the vintage clothing pop-up shop. Below, some highlights from the show…

The handsome boyfriend and I. I wanted to wear something spring-y but super comfy knowing that we would be walking for a significant part of the day.

It was pretty awesome watching our s’mores being made. I seriously want to own a brulee torch now.

OMG. So good. The one on the right.. has bacon!

Gorgeous, simple bouquets.

A table full of bliss.

A little shoefie, stopping off at Anthropologie. No purchases were made here, but my eyes were darting everywhere at the thought of 20% off all dresses!

Next stop was the Farmer’s Market. Being faced with the difficult decision of where to eat, we finally decided on The Gumbo Pot, a creole spot serving up gumbo, jambalaya, and my pick, softshell crab po boys. For dessert, we had to try the beignets, which unfortunately, were not as fluffy as I prefer so we decided to give the other two to an adorable older couple who were sitting next to us. They seemed to enjoy them! 😀

Beverly Hills Brunch

February 24, 2015

Two things that will get me out of a stressed-at-work funk every time – leaving town and brunch! Last weekend, the boyfriend and I took the hour drive to Beverly Hills to indulge in the most luxurious, tasty brunch menu at The Beverly Hilton. We had an Amazon deal which included unlimited mimosas (hello!), a starter, an entrée, unlimited trips to the buffet, and a dessert plate to die for… Everything was so fresh and gorgeous. I definitely recommend it if you’re in the area 🙂

Can you believe… All of this.. For just the two of us!
My favorite for sure was the pudding/chocolate mousse cup.
