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!

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

Still Stuck With the iphones a but Longer so Here's Some Fun Hypstamatics From Dinner!

We will miss seeing Cort's bothers who both visited. We went to dinner with Adam, the second youngest, and saw/played outside at BloomFest with Robbie, Cort's youngest brother, a few days earlier since he's attending flight school in LBC. What a busy week!

Enjoy the rest of the week! It's lovely in LA!
