My friends say I have an aversion to LA on the weekends. I don’t know if that is the case, but I certainly love taking off for a couple of days to destinations like SF, Paso, SD and, like in this past weekend, Mammoth. I’ve been to Mammoth 8 or 9 times now and really love it, if not just for seeing Sophie roam like … Continue reading Your Mammoth Weekend
Preparing for a weekend of skiing in Mammoth. JK. Because being nailed to plank of wood and thrown down a mountain is most definitely not my cup of tea. However, I will be maniacally taking photos of my pup frolicking in the snow and whipping up some hot toddys pre-hot tub soaks. Listen: Frightened Rabbit – Death Dream Their newest album is available for pre-order. Which … Continue reading Listen, Watch, Read #5
Dude. My weekend tho. The past four days have been the best of my year so far. Partly because I caught up on some much needed sleep, but mostly because of the constant good energy from the lovely people around me. So your Guide to LA #1: FRIDAY NIGHT: Catch a show at the Wiltern: On Thursday, at court, I got a call from my … Continue reading Your LA Weekend #1
Despite my self-imposed exile from the dating world, I am super-stoked on the upcoming weekend. Adele. Flower market. My favorite spin class. Volunteering. Yoga. Meditation. MOCA art exhibit. Brunch. Dinner plans. Indigo dying. AND my new roommate is moving in! Plus everything else in between. Last weekend in Seattle, the girls and I had a running joke about only keeping things in your life that … Continue reading Listen, Watch, Read #4
*Note – This week I managed to secure tickets to Beyonce’s Formation tour, Adele’s Secret Show at the Wiltern and The National tickets on presale. I’m so excited and crying and shaking and busy being utterly basic, so please forgive me for, well, basically everything. Back to regularly scheduled content: Ever since my first trip to Seattle last fall, I’ve been aching to go back. … Continue reading Girls’ Weekend: Seattle
I haven’t had much time this year to think (which is probably a good thing,) let alone do laundry or take all my clothes to be mended and dry-cleaned. This is partially because like work is so like busy or like whatever. Just kidding, it’s because I’ve been spending an inordinate amount of time staring in my dog’s golden eyes and “catching up” on all … Continue reading Grey on Grey
I just spent the weekend traipsing through Seattle with some amazing women. We spent the days sipping coffee, meandering museums, sampling ginger beers, and supporting local shops (aka shopping sprees). I can’t wait to reveal my Seattle City Guide, but until then, here’s a catch up post from Friday for your latest cultural shortcuts. Listen: Future’s EVOL Topping the charts, like whoa. Into it. Obvs. … Continue reading Listen, Watch, Read #3
I’m on the hunt for a new dining table, preferably midcentury modern that can fit six and is amenable to gold polka dots. It’s a lot to ask, I know. On the weekends I haven’t been running around the state, I’ve been trying to hit up the local vintage and thrift stores for some inspiration. Of course, I end up leaving with vintage cashmere sweaters, … Continue reading The Guide to Thrifting in Highland Park
January was not the brightest beginning of 2016 for me, with the passing of icons, personal tumult and sheer exhaustion. I’m forcing February to be better. However, despite rather bleak moments, spending time with my friends proved the cure for, well, everything. The weekend after David Bowie’s passing, Grant, Elisa, Evan and I hit up BootieLA‘s tribute, but not before a photo shoot at home. … Continue reading Bowie.
After a lovely time with my cousins, mom and aunt, I came home to the damp, grey El Nino storms plaguing LA this weekend. It was all a bit of an anticlimax. So I coerced Cassi to come over for tea and baked this cake as an incentive. Lavender Lemon Poundcake: 1 1/4 cup flour 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1 large lemon, … Continue reading Sunday Supper: Lavender Lemon Poundcake
