You GUYS. Look at my little chunky monkey!!! This is my nephew and he was born yesterday morning. Nine pounds, one ounce. 21 inches long. I haven’t even met him yet but I love him sooooo much! Those CHEEKS, people!
My sister and her husband are so thrilled to finally welcome their miracle baby into the world. Heather was diagnosed with PCOS almost 10 years ago and she was told by several doctors that she probably wouldn’t be able to conceive. But Jonah is here and he’s healthy and he’s beautiful!
I’m going out to Denver next week to spend some time with them. Can’t wait to hold that precious little guy!

P.S. Speaking of babies, I am dying over these Naptime Adventures. So cute!!!
The combination might sound a little odd, but the result is surprisingly yummy! It’s creamy yet refreshing, slightly earthy and not too sweet. The color is lovely. Plus it’s kinda healthy! Avocados have omega-3s, so you can justify the indulgence (sort of).
It started with a chunk of wood in my Christmas stocking with the text, “money for new shelves” from my parents. Actually, it all started a few months prior when Morgan over at the Brick House sent ripples across the shelter blog world with her Mission C.A.H.L.R.S.P. So with funding from the fam we set out.
Jess and I just got back from seeing Inception. It. Was. Awesome! Director Christopher Nolan is on a real tear. Let’s hope the studios just keep giving him money and staying out of his way. Besides the amazing story (which he usually writes) Nolan’s films always have a rich and integral soundtrack that enhances the suspense. Check out the video above for a sampling of the film and some behind-the-scenes commentary about the music and sounds in the film.

I’ve been on a quest to find an airy summer shoe that’s a little more dressed up than the trusty ol’ Rainbows (no, not Double Rainbows) and ever since I saw these, I knew I must have a pair. Sadly, the Ace Hotel x Arktip x Generic Surplus colabs only go up to a size 12 so no dice for me. Luckily, Generic Surplus knew they had an awesome thing going and they expanded the mesh design to other parts of their line – which includes the pimosol in a size 13. Wooooo. So I snagged a pair over on Moxsie earlier this week and oooo-weeee these babies are exactly what I need to stay cool this summer.

Then, go check out the Renegade Craft Fair at LA Historic Park on Sat and Sun. Continue reading…
Our dear friend Jennifer made a special request for my coconut cream pie recipe, so here it is! This pie was surprisingly easy to make and pretty darn delicious. I do have to say, though, that it’s even better after being refrigerated overnight. Enjoy!
This screen test featuring a 24 year-old Bruce Lee for an episode of the Green Hornet is fascinating on so many levels. Bruce’s natural charisma and strength are shockingly evident even while he’s holding still. Secondly, the juxtaposition of the sterile, jaded directions from off camera and Bruce’s sincerity is classic. Plus the content of the filler conversation is often very interesting.

P.S. did you know you can Mad Men yourself? Try it, it’s fun.
Not that we don’t love our cowhide… but I can’t get these rugs out of my head! I spotted that first one over on Junia’s blog and I’m obsessed. And the other one? Anthropologie has it, and every time I go in there I have to go “visit” the rug. I spend a minute or two just staring at it, imagining how awesome it would look in our apartment. Maybe someday when we have a bigger place… and, you know, $1000 lying around.
