Cupcakes and Cashmere

Five Things

January 27th, 2012

{Hyacinths that make our gray walls look purple in the morning light}

This was a good week. It was productive and fulfilling and made way for evenings that were quiet and still. The days were unseasonably warm, even for L.A., so we took full advantage by eating outdoors, and going for walks before the sun went down. This weekend will be spent doing quite a bit of work, but since the weather is supposed to stay nice, I’ll hopefully be able to do some of it in the backyard. Here are a few of the things that made me happy this week.

{An adorable gift: a notepad that I plan on keeping with me at all times}

{Vintage inspiration – mustard yellow dress + a jeweled brooch}



{Heart paperclips that make office organization fun}

{Favorite dessert in L.A. – Gjelina’s Butterscotch pot de crème}
