LA Color Rush

Hope everyone had a great Father's Day weekend. We celebrate the way we know best.. with food. But I'll talk about food later.

I've been a native SoCal girl all my life. I've never lived anywhere else. I'm spoiled by the weather (I get cold when its 70 degrees), the food (as you can see from my gluttony posts), and especially the scenery! Perhaps you're from here and you're thinking, "Pssh! What scenery?" Or... you're not from here and you're thinking, "You mean all that 'graffiti' behind you in those photos?"

I think when I was younger, I never paid much attention to the "writings on the walls" (The literal writings. Not the Destiny's Child's album. Just clarifying). I used to never really understand why people HAD to put all their art on the sides of freeways or on random buildings. But over the years, I've come to appreciate it. I like finding it when I do and my favorites will always be the drawings/paintings off of the 101frwy/Spring Street exit (which they've actually photographed, hung as a banner, and painted over the originals... sad).

I'm also not saying that I like ALL the walls of LA to be painted on. I still enjoy green trees and flowers and a "clean" and a polished look. I just think that some areas have so much more character with people's artwork, proudly displayed for all to see, share, and love. It's a nice rush of color in one moment then back to peace in the next.

Until next time my friends... Oh and... Happy Monday!

A girl can window shop whenever she wants, right? Well maybe not whenever so... I'll just window shop during my lunch break.
Some of these are no brainers and are essentials to a woman's wardrobe and some are just for fun.

Kate Spade Neutral pumps

Still looking for the perfect peplum (Alice + Olivia)

Eating cake for breakfast can be my new mantra.

Spring Yellow dress

I actually saw a textured version of the above dress, over the weekend. A Kate Spade dress marked down from about $500 to $40! I thought (no... don't spend anymore money). Now I am regretting not swooping it up! At the time I was on the hunt for heels, not clothes... boo on myself.

Fun Lacey Stretch Skinny Pants by Rag & Bone

And btw, there's no order or theme of this post. I guess if there is a theme... it's just of things I like.

Fendi Semi-Wayfarer Sunglasses

And I couldn't possibly have forgotten the eyewear!
