August & Everything After
August 3rd, 2009
Despite the oppressive heat in the desert (a brisk 110°), my boyfriend and I spent the past weekend floating in the pool and enjoying ice cream after every meal. Once we returned, the weather in L.A. was beyond refreshing and provided the perfect backdrop to watch Barefoot Contessa re-runs (I’m a little obsessed) while I made new necklaces for my soon-to-be-updated Etsy shop.

You absolutely have a knack for describing things in the most delightful/whimsical/vivid way in the fewest words possible–love it!
I am obsessed with avocado right now but have never tried it with grapefruit. Gorgeous!
Looks like a really lovely time.
The photo taken in the mirror is really pretty, as are the necklaces.
Love the necklaces and can’t wait to try out the salad! Thank you again for the inspirations!!

Avocado/Grapefruit Salads – one of my all-time favorite salads! mmm… and can’t wait for you to list more necklaces! They’re to die for
Perfect summer weekend and I love the necklaces!!
I am loving anything cold and sweet lately, be it ice cream, a popsicle or, my personal fave, banana fro yo! and I always love the food network, any season. the barefoot contessa has grown on me and I find myself getting sucked into ina garten’s world sometimes too. your necklaces look fabulous of course. can’t wait to see the updated shop!
