The Windy City Dress

This week it finally feels like fall here in Southern California! Cool weather, soft layered clothing, and pumpkin spice lattes--it feels wonderful. It makes me want to curl up on the couch with a fluffy blanket and a good book.

 Outfit details: Windy City Dress by ModCloth, Mossimo heels from Target, Jones New York coat

We just moved out of the city, and for those of you not in Los Angeles, it pretty much has one season all year: warm. So I'm looking forward to seeing some leaves change color, to cupping my hands around warm drinks, and to sitting around a warm fire.

Happy Fall!

I've got my eye on you

Okay, I'm just going to say it. I think Birthday Registries should be a thing. I never know what to get people, and it's just strange to tell people what I want. Birthday Registries should be a thing! And keep 'em active at during the holidays, too!

In the absence of this societal commonplace, I have created a list of things I've been coveting, just in case anyone reading my little blog wants some inspiration.

1. Golden Grasslands Dress from ModCloth
2. Afternoon Lounging Loafers in Magenta from Ruche
3. Rose - Teal Camera Bag from JoTotes
4. Antique Door Knob Hook from Urban Outfitters
5. Arrow Brass Stacking Ring from RawEarthStudio
6. Vegan Brunch from Isa Chandra Moskowitz
7. The Experiment 5x7 print from hillarybird
8. Romantic Floral Scarf Duvet from Urban Outfitters
9. Floral Heart 8x10 print from Rifle Paper Co.
10. Brightly Colored Angled Desk Lamp

I just realized that my birthday is in three weeks...better get on my 28 Before 28!!

April Showers Bring May Flowers

In California when it rains, people don't know what to do.

I actually love a bit of rain, except I tried to cross the street the other day to go to dance class and it was so flooded, which made me realize I need some rain boots.

One thing led to another and...

ModCloth Raincoat / ModCloth Umbrella / Hunter Boots / Clear Tote / Urban Decay Blush

I need all of these things!! Eeep!!!

Seeing Green

Are you ready for St. Patrick's Day? These amazing pumps from ModCloth and this etsy print should get you in the mood.

On another note, many of you have asked about my acting endeavors. Here are a few updates:

I've had quite a busy week prepping costumes & shooting a short film with Matt. We spent hours (and hours) shooting to get two minutes of a final cut film. Loved every minute! Even the fact that I was up at 6:00AM to film this, then up til midnight performing in my play that night.

Also last Saturday, HBO's Game Change premiered and I was amped to see that my profile made the final cut for five glorious seconds (that's me on the left--just pretend like you saw it clearly! You and Steven Spielberg--I'm expecting a call from him any minute now).

This film was my first time on a professional studio project. Watching Woody Harrelson and Julianne Moore work was seriously the coolest thing. Even though Woody kept making me giggle and getting me into trouble between takes.

Black Friday

I don't know about you, but I shop Black Friday sales from home. The blogging community has introduced me to so many amazing artists, designers, thrifters, and creators, I am just so pleased when I can buy their work.

Especially when I can do it at a great discount!

So here are the Black Friday sales I'm looking forward to the most:

I love vol.25 so much. So much. Last year I bought her LOVE print, and this year I've got my eye on her adorable "I Heart Kitchens" series. She's offering 40% off in her Etsy shop. Wow!

Creative Thursday is having a fun sale.
