Five Things

August 3rd, 2012

{The sweetest gift ever – a necklace from one of my favorite L.A. based designers, Doloris Petunia}

I overbook myself far too often and usually end up going out or entertaining most nights of the week. But these past few days have been particularly relaxing, since I made no evening plans so we could enjoy time at home. This weekend should be a good change of pace, as two friends and I will be having a staycation in L.A. The weather’s supposed to be gorgeous and I’m looking forward to taking advantage of some girl time in and around the city. Here are a few of the simple things currently inspiring me.

{I finally got around to checking out the monolith at LACMA}

{Cheerful tea towels at Heath Ceramics}

{Fragrant flowers on an afternoon walk}

{Savoring the last of this summer’s fresh blueberries}
