Five Things

September 16th, 2011



{New gold cuffs (to be worn on each arm) from Topshop}

There are times when I think I would love living in New York. I’m a much more adventurous version of my normal self and find myself exploring new places, going out to fun restaurants instead of staying in, and walking everywhere instead of constantly driving around. But inevitably, I always cram in far too many things in too short of time and find myself missing home – the quiet neighborhood where we live, my local coffee shop, and our little family. I’m heading back to L.A. this afternoon and can’t wait.

{Cool decorating idea: hang dried eucalyptus in a row on an empty wall}

    This is such a sweet and heartwarming post. Hope you had a wonderful time in NY.

    PS- I adore living in New York, but sometimes I day dream about living in L.A. The weather here is my only complaint.

    Isn’t the East Coast the best!? That lobster roll looks amaaazing, I miss being in Boston for the good seafood.

    I agree, NYC is good in small doses, but there’s nothing like being home. I’m on the east coast this month. Even though I grew up here, LA is my home now & can’t wait to get back to my apartment & car!

    Have fun in LA, it will be a good break from NYC. When you come back, I’m sure it will look much more like autumn. That picture from the back of the taxi is wonderful.

    Gold cuffs have been my FAVORITE thing for the past couple of years! I haven’t done two cuffs at a time. Typically I have a cuff on my right wrist and then a collection of gold bracelets on my left ranging in design and style…a glamorous combo!! Have a fab week xoxo http://twirlingclare.blogspot.com/
