Jaime’s Playdate Perfection

Today my old friend Jaime from Less on the Floor is sharing a great casual-but-stylish mom outfit with us. Thanks Jaime. Take it away:This is my go-to Casual Friday for that winter-spring transition.  Plus a machine-washable dress now that I'm feeding the baby solid food!  I like the desert boots with a little heel, but flat would be cute too -- and better for chasing around the playground. :-) [1]...

But I definitely suffer from one of the problems of the digital age in that I never print my photos or make albums out of them. So recently I took it upon myself to create a gallery wall. By recently I mean I started collecting the frames from IKEA and various estate sales about a year ago and have very gradually... Read more

The past week on Instagram

Had a fun week and weekend.  Drinks and learning at Kneedler Fauchere at the PDC.  A visit to the Arts Refoundry in Downtown LA (where I photographed the cacti, airstream and double decker bus) with some potential for partnership on the hardware line.  A culinary tour of Eagle Rock including Larkins, Cacao and Casa Bianca.  And a MAJOR chop of the hair (bottom two photos).
