Why is it...

I notice I'am most inspired a few hrs before I have to go to work/school. Why is that? Im guessing its that adrenaline rush knowing you will be trapped and you have to make the most of those few hrs before its back to the grind.

As The World Falls Down

"Cue the ill fitting leggings, seductive guitar riff,  and drug induced fantasy."

After watching this film for the first time in my 2nd grade class I wanted to be Sarah and I ran around the playground waiting for the goblin king to come find me.I could only imagine what it would be like to have a boy talk to me, much less how it would be like as a sophisticated 15 year old  being seduced by a grown man in a redic cod piece while serenading me with his floating balls in which depicted my ultimate fantasies. Damn that was a run on sentence wasn't it. Oh well.

I mean whats wrong with that? 

Maybe if I was 15 like the character Sarah it would be more appropriate?  Then we would totally be able to date. Especially when my parents were gone and I was left home alone to watch my brother. Seriously who came up with this storyline? Why is it just occurring to me that this movie has some serious pedo undertones? Is it crazy that after realizing this, I still love the movie?

Ombre Ole

Ever heard the term "ombre" and wondered what does that mean? 

Ombre is a French term that means shade, usually from dark to light. The ombre effect can be achieved through dip dying, or actually weaving different tones of one color. It is less hippie and more refined look opposed to tie dye. Im usually not a blue person per say, but I absolutely love how it looks in the ombre effect. I instantly think of the ocean, blue turquoise white ohh lala lovely.

Hello Friends

Hello Hello my dear friends, family, followers, basically anyone who has  noticed that I was on a hiatus.

 I feel as if I set sail on a personal growth boat. I have been busy working on myself, my relationships, school work, internship, work and planning a summer trip.  So now that you know I'm back I cannot wait to start blogging again. I felt as if I had so much to share, but no time to share it. Because as you know blogging isn't easy. Especially for those of us who take pride in our blog content.

 No matter how many followers 1-1,000 the only thing that matters to me is that someone out there is interested in my ideas, my photography and maybe even just my personality. That is the coolest part of blogging, connecting with other people from all around the world. 

Upcoming posts will be featuring more artist interviews, a 24 hr Palm Springs trip,  Road Less Traveled Store, interior design projects and of course those cute cats of mine.

This Summer Starbucks is bringing back it's Mocha Coconut Frappuccino! 

I'm so thrilled to hear the news and I feel like I played a big part in them bringing back the drink. Last year I posted on my My Starbucks Idea and they emailed me saying that my idea was under review and now it is being launched! So soon enough us Coconut freaks will be able to get our fix! You can thank me later. 

We're Having a Heat Wave...

A tropical heat wave...

The temperature is rising, thank you Spring for finally deciding to say hello. As always you are fashionably late to the party. But you will certainly be making a big entrance this week when you bring the So-Cal temps up to 90 degrees on Thursday. I can picture it now, everyone is going to be talking about....the weather of course and how hot it is and nice. Or they will be complaining about how hot and not nice it is. I of course will be doing the latter of the two because I loves the hot weathers and I have a new dress to wear. Cant wait.

Are you doing anything fun this week when it gets hot?

Whats your fav way to spend a sunny day?

Splendor In The Grass

Lets roll in the grass minus the itchiness. Do you remember doing that as a kid?
I was browsing magazines the other day when I saw a photo of a grass bikini and I cannot find it anywhere! I might be one of those few who would actually wear that to the beach. Sad thing is I cannot find it anywhere online to share with you. So instead I found lots of other great turf inspired accessories and clothing. Now lets splendor in the grass.
