Summer Heights

Pelle Moda 'Jamba' Sandal


This SoCal weather is amazing!  It's been in the high 70's all weekend & i've been loving it.  Makes me SO ready for summertime!  I just purchased these espadrilles this week & I love them.   They're the perfect summer shoe!  They go with everything, are comfy & super cute with wide-leg trousers, skinny jeans or sun dresses.

Hunger for Knowledge



Currently, i'm working on a project with a group of local chefs, sustainable fisheries, and organic farmers in order to start a local organization called The Culinary Liberation Front.  The main goal of our non-profit is to raise the awareness of chefs & restaurant patrons in Orange County. 

 More to come in The Liberation Front (i've been pretty busy with this side project), but I really wanted to share a documentary that really hits home… 

The End of the Line, the first major feature documentary film revealing the impact of overfishing on our oceans, had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in 2009.
In the film we see firsthand the effects of our global love affair with fish as food.
Filmed over two years, The End of the Line follows the investigative reporter Charles Clover as he confronts politicians and celebrity restaurateurs, who exhibit little regard for the damage they are doing to the oceans.
Filmed across the world – from the Straits of Gibraltar to the coasts of Senegal and Alaska to the Tokyo fish market – featuring top scientists, indigenous fishermen and fisheries enforcement officials, 
The End of the Line is a wake-up call to the world.

Friday Quote Day…

Not really a quote but one of my favorite poems ever… Whenever I need some strength or inspiration, this always does the trick.

Easy Up-dos


Fishtail braids are EVERYWHERE right now & i love them.  
No need for neatness… The messier the better.  



Messy bunds.  The soft, feminine look is back & super easy to create.  



The messy ballerina bun is super in & so easy.  Love it.

Top Knots & Red Lips


Love how fresh & easy this look is.  

European Summer

I LOVE European brands, not only because they're amazingly cute, but because they're affordable & not everyone & their mommas will be wearing the same duds as you.  

These are some of my fav 2011 pieces from Spring 2011 Look-books.  
H&M unfortunately doesn't have an online store for the US, but has stores in most cities now.
Matalan & ASOS have online stores & will ship to the US.
