Five Things

January 4th, 2013



{A beautiful, intricate lace cuff that my mom made me for Christmas}

One of the best decisions we made over the holidays was returning back to L.A. a few days early. It’s always rough leaving my parents’ house, but it allowed us time to relax and declutter without having to worry about anything else. We reorganized the entryway, living room, and dining room (pictures to come next week) and filled them all with fresh flowers. It’ll take me some time to mourn the warm glow of our Christmas tree, but I think we’re on the right track.



{An iPhone attachment that lets me take super close-up/fisheye/wide-angle shots}



{Fluffy beignets from Bottega Louie that rival those we had in New Orleans}

{Stocking up on winter white florals}



{I loved the gold table setting details from Monday night’s wedding}

    Nice to have you back Emily.
    I missed your 5 things last Friday.
    Since the cuff is so great maybe you can ask your mom and post a DIY for it.

    How interesting that the close up of the nose of the lion/panther looks like the texture of stingray or manta ray leather no? I’ve just bought my first 3.1 PHILLIP LIM mini-Pashli in a plastic and white texture, I’d say it’s quite provoking, do tell what you think ;)
