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.

{Lobster roll + fries at The Standard}

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

    Am loving the capped toe pumps for fall – Jimmy Choo has a great leopard style at Neiman’s.

    Always love your Five Things posts, Emily. I read on your facebook about your appearance on E! – are you going to be putting the link or video up on your blog? I missed it on TV and am bummed out!

    Keep up the good posts!

    I have enjoyed reading your blog. I too enjoy fashion and food. I was most taken by your rainy day in the cab photo. In Arizona we can only dream about the days we see raindrops on our cars, although we do get to extend summer by about 2 months!

    I hope you had a great time at NYFW. I can imagine that it’s exciting but exhausting.

    I love your pics this week but I have to say that lobster roll is making me very hungry. They are a treat I allow myself once a summer. The Standard’s looks amazing!

  • http://invisibleblush.wordpress.com/ Christine

    I really like those cuffs and pumps. I think they would go great together. That lobster roll looks delicious. :L

  • Tiffany

    It’s sad to say but I live in NYC and have no clue where the standard is. I’d love to try this lobster roll! I love being in the city it has a automosphere that’s unlike anywhere else, even the other 4 boroughs. I would know I live in queens. Great blog

    I LOVE New York. But LA is amazing too. Just two completely different cities. I love that last picture! Beauty in the simplest things.

    I love these five things! Especially the gold cuffs! I hate how the seasons are opposite for Australia, we are just coming into summer and I feel so behind!

    I love those heels!
    It’s fall now in Colorado too :)

    I love the idea of dried eucalyptus. In our house we hang up dried wheat stems woven together; perhaps not quite as chic but still a nice way to decorate!
