This week, I inadvertently disappeared for a few days from the interwebs as more and more deadlines and real world commitments hit. Though, here are a few tiny glimpses into my existence that I managed to snap along the way. I’ll admit to being a little distracted though because all I can think about is my upcoming Girls Only Vacationâ„¢ to LA with Gala!

01

As I started walking towards the madness known as Last Thursday last night, the first thing I noticed was this bus.

02

Current favorite tee: MERCI BEAU COUP.

03

When the crowds at Last Thursday get out of control, I usually hide out in the corner of a dark bar and wait it out. My friends joined me last night for Joey’s art show at The Know….along with about 100 other sweaty punk rockers.

A current snippet of inspiration from the latest J. Crew catalog.

05

My trusty gnome quietly lurks in the nook next to my closets, always willing to lend a helping hand. What a cutie.

06

Super strappy and summer ready. L to R: Quelques Shoes De Plus, Marni, Chloe & Chloe and Jeffrey Campbell.

07

After my friend Joey bid me farewell last night, she came upon a man with a sewing machine being powered by his girlfriend who was peddling away. He’d never sewn a llama before but she stood there, explaining to him what a llama looked like, then walked back to the bar and surprised me with this. He isn’t exactly Nigel but then again, who could compare to that black-haired hunk?

Okay, time to get this weekend started! xoxo

01

One of my biggest pet peeves are cheaply made shoes but when I was at Forever 21 this weekend, I spotted the Metallic Spirit Flats which are just what I need when I have to throw something on to walk Rocky around the ‘hood. In true form, they smell like stinky synthetic material (but they’re so damn cute)!

02

What are your summer scents? Mine are Sonia Kashuk No. 4 (light and slightly fruity) and MAC Creations MV1 (stronger with a big dose of vanilla).

03

What does that bottom book say? Los Angeles!!! The way I plan trips goes something like this: Gala emails me and asks if I’d like to join her for an all girls adventure. I immediately respond with a resounding yes! Then, we fill in the details. Disneyland! Jazzi! And, I need to make a pit stop at the All Saints store. I haven’t had a real vacation (let alone a full day off ) this year so I am beyond ready for some girl time and lounging around.

04

You can bet that I already have my mouse ears out. Gala, Jazzi and I did Disneyland last February, then I visited Disney World in November with my dad. Now, I’m hitting Disneyland again with the girls and Disney World in November. I’m sensing a pattern here!!! What do I love about Disney? It’s a chance to escape reality for a day, eat loads of junk food and go on rides (though, I am skipping Splash Mountain — got soaked and my hair turned into a mound of major knots last time).

05

I was seated outside at The Goodfoot a few days ago and noticed this goofy door, supposedly leading to a smoking area….but when I peeked in, all I could see were garbage cans and bikes. Maybe it’s really a secret passageway.

I hope you’ve had an enjoyable week! My dad has been working super hard building us a fence and next up, I have to buy 10 million gallons of gray paint (okay, that’s a slight exaggeration) for our front porch, living room and kitchen. Then, I have to do a million rounds of freelance (another slight exaggeration) and try to get a handle on this thing called life. Wish me luck.
