what’s been up
i posted the other day about getting bangs so went ahead and did that. so happy i did. there’s something about having a big chunk of hair in front of your face that makes you feel so much cuter / part of the reason i got the bangs was for our trip to france … it’s only a few short days away now, so i’ve been trying to make a zillion lists of everything i can’t forget. oh boy there’s a lot of lists going / it’s summery everywhere in la and the bougainvillea at my moms house is as red as ever / like i mentioned – we got a new sofa! we haven’t gotten to fully enjoy it because it’s been covered in ten blankets until the cats get used to it. so i’m thinking in about a year we can remove those! / i bought the best (and biggest) toothbrushes online for $5 each at swissco – i am really enjoying dental hygiene more now / i’m dying thinking about leaving my cat models for two weeks / amidst my upcoming taco tour, we’ve been actually eating at the taco places rather than taking out… so luckily i got to see this cholo claw machine / bought the cutest bikini at target – which i now know is for juniors… speaking of which, i’m always wondering what’s the cutoff age for being obsessed with forever 21?

diy fourth of july matchboxes + free printable
who doesn’t want to light a few sparklers [and maybe a lot more if you’re lucky] on july 4th? so here is an easy and quick DIY to customize your sparkler lighting this year!
all you need for supplies is a printer, glue stick, scissors, and some matchboxes in desperate need of a makeover – these were designed custom for diamond matchboxes specifically.
i designed two sets. a fun stars and stripes pattern and a festive bomb pop. mix and match all you want!
click above to download the free printable i’ve shared for personal use only. and you can just print it on standard 8.5″ x 11″ copy paper.
just FYI – the diamond matches have a little bleed on both sides, so the templates are made to cover that if you just carefully glue and cover the edges.
+ now go light some sparklers and also HAVE A HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

want flaunt jaunt
this blog is like sooo about me. so i thought i might mix it up a little!
here is a new column where i’ll feature other bloggers i’m into to learn what they’re pining over, what their favorite possession is, and their dream destination.
WANT i’m crazy pragmatic about everything i buy (minus the occasional item bought on a whim– hello floral palazzo pants!), so even my dream-ticket item is practical. i’d love to have a gorgeous philip lim pashli satchel. big enough to haul my life around, with enough hardware to keep things interesting, it’s my dream bag.
FLAUNT one of my favorite DIYs was this crystal spike necklace. it’s so pretty, i wish i had more occasion to wear it.
JAUNT current unrest aside, i’ve been dying to get to turkey. it seems like an absolute feast for the senses, and i’m especially enchanted by the country’s textile traditions. (image via)
