Five Things

January 18th, 2013

{Daily fresh-squeezed citrus in order to treat (him)/avoid (me) getting sick}

Last week went by unnaturally fast, so I guess it only makes sense that this one felt sluggish and tough. But we’re supposed to have temperatures in the high 70s for the next few days and my parents are coming to visit, so things are looking up. I can’t wait to take them to some of our favorite restaurants and explore the city a bit. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

    I’m so jealous of your weather. Right now we have a few cm of snow, and it’s continuing. I’ve never actually tried grapefruit. but i’d really like to. And i love the shirt!

    This is a lovely post!
    Every week when this post comes up it instantly inspires me and makes me feel cheerful.
    Cannot believe how warm it is forecasted to be in L.A, whereas over in Manchester, Britain it is heavy snow! So odd how different the weather is going to be for both of us this weekend!!
    The leopard print clutch and the birthday card are lovely, I feel inspired to make my own cards now even though there aren’t any birthdays for a month!
    I hope you have a wonderful weekend, soaking up the sun and eating lots of BBQ food!
    Love Kate xo

    What a gorgeous window box! I’m a big fan of succulents, definitely need to try and find a way to incorporate them into my student bedroom haha!

    Is the clutch clare vivier? I am a huge fan of her items after you introduced the striped clutch last year. I actually just managed to save up in order to buy one of her clutches and got the striped one in the mail this week. The leather is amazing! My next savings goal is the oversized clutch in your patter as a laptop holder. Have a great weekend!
