Five Things

August 24th, 2012

{Late afternoon pie baking}

It felt like there was a slight shift in seasons this week. It’s been unseasonably humid in L.A., but last night things finally cooled down. I’ve been trying to savor the last bits of summer with some outdoor reading, farmers’ market trips, and some quality time in the kitchen. Here are a few of the things making me happy right now. Have a great weekend.

    Ooh, you simply can’t beat a bit of closet reorganising, baking and a DIY mani for a relaxing weekend in my book!

    Happy weekend Emily!

    I went to the grocery store yesterday and was walking down an isle when the nail file jumped out at me. I love how you don’t even have to say where it’s from and I still found it without looking. I love everything you post and am hoping for a fall trend guide before grad school starts. Hope you have a great week!

    How do you keep your shoes in such great conditions? I can never keep my heels safe from cracks and gravel. My poor louboutins have been to the repair shop twice this years alone.

    It always feels so good to reorganize and de-clutter! Like a weight off the shoulder.. Plus, being able to survey all of your gorgeous fashion finds with the bat of a mascara-ed eyelash is the best!!
