  • pajama chic

    i have a thing for pajamas as it is. the second i get home, the first thing i do is remove my “street clothes” and put on pjs. so when i bought a pair of pajama like trousers from zara about a year ago, they quickly became my favorite clothing item, even though i would always get asked “are you wearing pajamas?”

    so then i go to paris, and i don’t think i saw a pair of jeans. seriously every cute parisian girl was wearing elegant pajamas. and i was like oh damn i want a million more.

  • what’s been up

    hope you had a good weekend. the other day i got home from work and my boyfriend had a plate of freshly shucked oysters sitting in the fridge for me. it was my favorite surprise. and my dad and sister came for the week to visit colleges for her. so around their tours, we took them all over, we went to leo carillo beach, which is BEAUTIFUL but really far away from la and really windy. the summer sunsets have been looking good. we took them to our favorite restaurant, son of a gun and had an amazing meal. and to the huntington botanical gardens for an afternoon (may i suggest you skip this activity if its 90 degrees out). we had lunch at umami burger and my dad declared it was the best burger he’s ever had. we also went to see the gary baseman exhibit at the skirball. i highly recommend it. and now they’ve left so i’m back to finally unpacking from france. how come it takes so much longer to unpack?!

    happy monday.

    summer picnic diys

    gideon and i have birthdays three days apart – which is fun and not fun. it’s not all about me on my birthday anymore!

    we decided to have a picnic with friends in two weeks, so i’ve been looking around for some inspiration of course. i have two DIYs i want to do for the picnic, but here are some of my favorites from others.

  • france pt 2 : paris

    we only had six days in paris, and it did NOT feel like enough. it was so hot and tiring to walk around, that we didn’t get to do everything we wanted to, but our trip was magical and perfect. we’d take crazy long walks, sit at cafes drinking wine and people watching. oh and we did a little sightseeing too.

    there was a carnival across from our hotel. so while gideon did a few big kid rides, i had to work up the nerve to sit on the ferris wheel during sunset. and it was so worth it.

    i wasn’t supposed to take these photos – they have a strict no photo policy… but how could i not want to share?! it’s a taxidermy and second hand shop named deyrolle. and it’s amazing.

    another favorite was this little wine bar verjus. underneath the restaurant, they open for 2 hours a day serving three sandwiches : fried chicken, pork shoulder, and pork belly . we tried all three and loved them all.

    we never went into the louvre because seeing the outside a dozen times was enough for me.

    our highlight of the trip was trekking 45 minutes away to the parc des buttes chaumont. i cannot stress enough that every visitor should go here. we had a lovely person recommend it and she was right. it was the most beautiful park i’ve ever seen. it turned us into a romance novel cover.

    we bought a bottle of chardonnay on the walk over, and sat on the grass with it, playing with the canadian geese and listening to a guy play david bowie songs in french on his guitar. it was probably the best afternoon of my life.

    paris was amazing. i miss it so much.
