This weekend my cousin and I saw The Proposal. It was cute and Sandra Bullock’s wardrobe was amazing. Does anyone else remember Ryan Reynolds from the Nickelodeon TV show Fifteen? (which apparently was also called Hillside) I was obsessed with it when I was oh twelve-ish. I can still sing the theme song… but I won’t. That and Roundhouse… wow.

Okay I’m getting sidetracked. We went to the 11:30 am show… A first for me. I don’t think I’ve ever been in a tinier theatre but we had the whole place to ourselves.

Afterwards we went up to the Lavender Farm that’s literally across from my house. I bought some cut lavender and lavender honey. When I got home I cut some of the mint growing outside and made some iced lavender mint water. It was really nice.

When I was on my mission this one family would always make us different “aguas” … they were sooo good. It’s basically just fresh fruit and water thrown in the blender… One of my favorites was cucumber/lemon water. It’s been brutally hot here lately so I will be trying lots of different variations. Maybe even plain water. I definitely should drink more of that!

This weekend was really, really busy in the best possible way. More of an update coming.

This has been a busy, busy week. My most wonderful cousin, Deana has been visiting with her kids (Max and Paisley). I think cousins are the best kind of relatives. This weekend I’m catching up with my friend Mackenzie before she heads off to Italy for the rest of the summer and going down to the LA Farmers Market – one of my favorite places.

I love this reusable fabric gift wrap.

Free People has some great accessories right now. I especially like this necklace and this one. Oh and this bag is great.

In case anyone was wondering, I still rully, rully want need this camera.

This Esty shop has really great leather sandals in lots of sizes.

Do you love letterpress? I do! And Simple Song makes the prettiest things.

I’ve been enjoying Jennifer Altman’s short stories and photography lately.

Have you seen Anthropologie’s newly designed website? It’s sooo pretty.

Maybe someday I will have my very own Post-it love story:

I came across this genius little guy over at Polapremium this morning. I’ve been obsessing over it since. It’s exactly what is sounds like – a love affair between the Holga and the Polaroid.

*swoon face*

Seriously though, I want one.

Have you met Babs? She and her BFF Andie Mills broadcast their wild antics from their West Los Angeles apartment. These girls are a pretty fly. Word.

Check them out here and here.

You can also catch Alyssa (and Jessa) broadcasting live every Monday at 8 PM (PST). They have sparkle POWER. Supercalifornialistic. See you Monday!

Summer = braids. There’s nothing worse than being hot with your hair stuck in your face- especially if your hair gets as out of control as mine. I’ve been looking around for cute, new braid ideas so I can switch it up. There’s even a Flickr group dedicated totally to braids. Here are some of my faves:
