Wedding Bells "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"!

Sweet Virginia, Mountain Mama, Take Me Home!

A Country Road in Sandbridge!

This is my middle brother, Ian and his new wife, Brittany Kippes Lundy, 9/25/11! Congrats! Welcome to the family! My hubby and I traveled back east to VA. Beach for four days filled with family fun and I have the mosquito bights to prove it. It was a hot, humid, sticky, little adventure and rained the whole trip, but it was well worth it! At the wedding I got to bust out some awesome expired, 669 film and play! It rained through the entire ceremony & most of the reception, but it cleared for a few pics! There were two double rainbows on two separate days before the wedding. I even saw a cricket! This couple has luck with them in their marriage for numerous years into their old age! I executed the rehearsal dinner and there are pictures coming soon (Dad put me in charge). I also manned the Mojito station with much assistance from, Cort, who knows how to do math and make drinks for the masses! I was kind of not so good in the math department. It's good to be back in LA, but I will always hold a soft spot in my heart for my home, VA! xo

 This is what airport x-rays do to perfectly good expired film. Lame high powered scanners! ;p

See what I mean?

Aren't they cute? I love little kids at weddings. I always hand them props and fun things happen! They're so darn adorable! Love!

Friday: fancy free reviewing Stanton James!

-August's ArtWalk-

Explored Stanton James

Stanton James: an awesome new store, carrying great designers and their own line that's fabulous in DTLA! HOT Stuff!

I wore Jolt acid washed style stretch pants jeans, a Vintage T-Shirt, Me Too silver flats, my green supple leather Tano bag, a Cheap Monday necklace, a layered chain necklace by The Extras, The Extras layered rhinestone bracelets with leather bracelets, a black rhinestone watch and my favorite Nervous System Necklace (gift from my hubby)! 

One of the adorable owners, Brittany, minus her co-owner, Brooke. She's rocking my favorite line, Phillip & Lillian, of recycled leather bags! Love!!!

Such a cute store! 

Looks like Prada's Spring line, but less neon! You'll fall in love with all their accessories! 

Stop on by ASAP and you will not be sorry! It's a great store with a perfectly cultivated collection of lines and their own impressive line made here in LA! They're located at 600 S Spring St. in LA 90014! They're a must see in the Downtown area, but for those of you that are in other places or live out of town they're an online store too! Check out the site! Must buy too! So fun and such a great array of fripperies to choose from. This is what the yelpers & others are saying! 

I even had to stop by again to show the exterior display on the way home. Too cute! I m still in dire need of these off-white lace shorts. I have been craving them all summer. I found the cutest pair in both off-white and black at Stanton James!

Parks and Recreation!

-WTW Hiking-

Comfort trumps all Griffith Park trails and the observatory for an all in one fun festive day!

The trails are lovely and it's a nice to take a break from the city even though you're still super duper close to it all! Love! We had a fantastic adventure and even have picnicked there and found the Merry-Go-Round. You can even rent a horse and go riding or rent ponies for the kids! If you get truly crazy there are trains too! Go play at Griffith Park soon!

A couple Sun Salutations on top of a table after the first half of the hike to loosen the muscles a bit. This was very nice! Look at that view. If you don't like heights don't. Otherwise...DOPE!

Loving the rag doll and this stretch pose right here. Cozy.

I wore a Reef linen top with ticking and chambray ruffles, Forever 21 Rust colored, drawstring, linen shorts, My Lowa hiking boots (I swear by them! They're amazing for hiking any where and all over the country!), A quality wicking, Patagonia, sports bra, Smart Wool socks (the only way to go), oodles of natural leather and wood jewelry you've seen before, including my feather light earrings that I am addicted to and will not take off unless I am sleeping! Also, bracelets from Costa Rica and all over my favorite place to explore, the Fashion District on Santee Street. But of course, don't forget my crazy 1980s inspired, Quay Australia Sunnies and bright orange, (forgot the exact name) Essie nail polish. Enjoy. Don't sacrifice looking somewhat cute in nature because you can dress up. I even met a teenager  rocking hot looking off-white shorts and I wanted to steal them from her, wearing them off the trail. I dreamt of creamy lace shorts like that all summer and there they were out hiking. She found them for $5 brand new, on sale and that even makes me more jealous! I must find nude leather wedges and cream lace shorts by ASAP.

What a lovely day spent in nature with my hubby and I even was able to see two stars and Saturn in the telescope!

Two questions I ask myself while bleary eyed are quite relevant. Anybody sick of camera phones yet? Can Sleeves Make a Top Romantic?

I wore this to Cort's Birthday night out, his choice!

WTW-WED? Birthday's and the Theatre: styling your dude

-My Hubby Turned 35!- 
And He Landed a Cool New Job at USC! Go Cort!  -We are Both Lions(4 years & 4 Days a part)!-

Outfit #1-What He Wore: Short Sleeved Plaid Shirt: Ben Sherman (his favorite!), Tortoise Shell Prescription Glasses: Polo by-Ralph Lauren (not Ray Ban like his script sunnies)!
I Love my Babesy.

As you can see, we are still rockin' the I Phone a bit longer for our pictures unless we beg, borrow or steal from friends, family and loved ones who like sharing dope cameras. That's how we are deciding what to purchase!

Men's WTW? My Husband is Stylish!

Outfit #2 -What He Wore: T-shirt: Quicksilver, Medium Rinse Jeans: Diesel, Slippers, a wedding ring and his Polo Ralph Lauren signature glasses (refuses contacts, but wants Lasik one day)!

"I like my new FMS shoes, Brooke, just don't take my picture!"

"It's our new french press and that is not cancer on my arm, that's the hipstamatic app on your phone. Look, Brooke, I have a new Lifetime tank. Men wear tanks too, but this is my first one!" He received a lot more presents, so did I, but I am waiting on the pictures from a dear friend before I post my Birthday. I may have to post them though since it's been almost a month. I simply thought camera phone pictures would not do the decorations justice at all. I got crazy! Really crazy! Then, I had to remove a lot before Cort's Birthday since he doesn't love pink so much.
-Dinner Date. I Was Late. Hey, I Make Mistakes-
Then, We Saw This at the Kirk Douglas Theatre

Outfit #3 (4 technically since our tradition is to hold and put on all our presents! Yes, we know that we are dorks!): Instead of slippers and medium rinse denim he upgraded and wore a new Birthday present! Shirt: Aknowledge (yes, that is spelled correctly. Lol!) Prison Stripes, Dark Wash Jeans: Levi's skinny 511s, Yummy Medium Brown Boots: Palladium.

Yummy Mediterranean food from Mezza. The labne was so good!

This is the best dessert ever with orange oil and rose water!

Take two: See that amazing Lebanese wine?

The exterior is colorful and fabulous!

The lovely Kirk Douglas Theater is a keeper!

Happy Birthday! I love you! xo
