After a week-long business trip, the only things I want to do when I return home are catch up on sleep, cook and zone out in front of the TV. However, this weekend was too amazing to stay inside, so we headed out, enjoying most of our meals al fresco. This outfit encapsulates ...read more
L.A.'s not much of a walking city. In our last place, we were really close to Little Ethiopia and not much else, so we drove everywhere. Since we moved though, I've found myself embracing a different lifestyle and getting used to the idea that I don't have to drive (and ...read more
