Five Things

January 20th, 2012

{Shoot by the Santa Monica pier}

I usually like my weekends to be nicely balanced – with a little relaxation, some time for discovery (there are always restaurants on my must-try list), and a bit of work. But this weekend is going to be centered around doing next to nothing. I rarely sleep in and though I might still wake up at 7am, I plan on lounging around in bed until noon with a new book, a cup of coffee and my phone on silent. I hope your weekend is just as relaxing!

    Spending the weekend in bed is exactly what I had in mind myself! I have to say, I LOVE your site, it’is such a fabulous source of inspiration (and it’s pretty convenient for me that we live in the same hood). But…I do squirm a little everytime I see that skincare regime on those beautiful little trays. Id love to send you some things from the line I work for that is super effective but chemical free. Not looking for an endorsement, just want to spread the love to someone that inspires me on the regular. Feel free to email me directly if you’d like to try a few things aprilnweiss@gmail.com

    I love these posts too:) I love to watch my cats watch birds – they get so serious and try to contain their excitement, and they start making little chittering sounds, and then get all embarrassed!

    You have just given me a smashing idea on my outfit for this weekend. I think a pair of retro sunglasses would be a perfect match for the chic designer clothes I had bought for less online. This would make me look sophisticated, plus in my opinion, a retro-inspired sunglasses is already quite a sexy and fashionable accessory!

    That marshmellow cloud looks so good….. I love these lazy luxurous mornings when you can just take your time.
