Rachel Cave New Patterns!

My favorite pattern designer rachel cave has recently updated her website with lots of great work. I love how her work incorporates designs inspired by mid century modern (my fave type of design!). Maybe one day I can buy some of her fabric to make some pillows or even a few skirts!

These retro designed dresses are crafted from vintage printed maps. i wouldn't wear one....image if you dropped your coffee on you?! but....they are pretty cute to look at. I would love the Paris one in real fabric.

These lovelies are available for $195 at annex.

"e-mags"

Lately i've been seeing more and more  'e mags' popping around online. What is so wonderful about them than a regular magazine is that if there is something you want to have, all you have to do is click the item and it sends you to the site to purchase it!  Matchbook magazine feels like a Kate Spade ad come to life.  It's very girly, preppy, cheeky chic. I am not ready for fall fashion at all.  In LA our summers come late, while the rest of the country is pulling on soft warm sweaters in bright colors and their lovely leather boots with a pair of dark wash skinny's tucked in, I will be stuck in a heat wave of epic proportions (which is happening right now >.< ) and wishing it was acceptable to walk around in a bikini. 


We call it Indian summer and it is dreadful, think of thick brown & gray smog skies along with hints of blue and seeing the heat bubbling from the cement/pavement and you will have an idea of what September is like here.                                    


Matchbook is an easy breezy read, like your  best dressed friend tipping you off to her style secrets. Matchbook is free so you can't go wrong by visiting and adding Matchbook to your growing list of favorites.

A Weekend Full Of Weddings

This weekend will be a long interesting weekend not only because it's Labor day weekend but I will be attending two weddings back to back...yes you read that right...one on Saturday and one on Sunday. Now all this wedding stuff is making me think back to my own wedding and how fast time has just flown by, just a few weeks ago I had my first anniversary. So what did I do after thinking about all these weddings you ask? I did what any other girl would do....I took a look back at my wedding pictures. Below are a few of my favorite pictures from that day.
