Recovering

Working late has gotten the best of me and again it is time for some R&R.  I initially took this Friday off so I could go see my friend, Clark, play drums at The Roxy. It would have been a good night on the Sunset Strip. Unfortunately, I am still recovering from bronchitis and need to take things easy. Stay tuned for wedding images: Beautiful dresses, loved ones, champagne and much much more! 


Till next time, here is a lovely article I found linked on Refinery29. It's about what it means to feel beautiful in your own skin. This woman is my new hero.

Summer Stripes

This past Halloween, I decided to dress up like a stereotypical Frenchman.  I already had a beret, a scarf, my snazzy blazer....

What I really needed was a striped tee-shirt, but I was low on cash and extra low on time, so I decided to take an old white tee and have my lovely boyfriend draw some beautiful stripes with a black sharpie. 

I wore my costume proudly, complete with painted on mustache. 

(Notice "The Red Balloon" to the left of my chair.)  LOVE

Recently, I was cruising my favorite fashion blog, www.refinery29.com, and came across this:

I showed it to Jeaux instantly and for a moment we felt pretty ahead of the curb (although, I'm sure we aren't the only ones who have made DIY stripe tee-shirts).  Anyway, theirs is pretty profesh looking. It gave me inspiration to start wearing mine out and about.

What do you think?

your friend,
