WHEN I'M LOOKING FOR MY PHONE.
Just when I think I’m pretty funny/creative, someone goes and does something like this. Absolutely hilarious.

Modern Hepburn
8 Dec
Modern Hepburn is one of my favorite blogs ever–it’s filled to the brim with happy photos, whimsical photos, nostalgic photos, and romantic photos, all with an emphasis on the beautiful details of daily life. I’d highly recommend bookmarking it and trying not to visit it all day long. :)
Have a great weekend, everyone! xx
The Loveliest Food Blog
17 Nov
The blogsophere is abuzz about Roost and with good reason: incredible photos, thoughtful quotes, and irresistible recipes make for a delightful site that’s hard not to come back to again and again. Everything just looks so darn beautiful! And to top it all off, the recipes are all an adventure in gluten/grain/sugar/dairy-free cooking by the lovely Coco.
p.s. another gorgeous food blog.
The Mouthwatering Side of Vegetarianism
2 Nov
Celeste and I were talking the other night about the trials and tribulations of become a vegetarian. And I have to say, if the recipes on So Good And Tasty are any indication of the vegetarian lifestyle, I’m in.
I scrolled through the site for about half an hour trying to decide which recipes to feature on this posting – simply because they all looked incredibly good. (Warning: do not visit So Good And Tasty on an empty stomach. Mine was growling.) Don’t even get me started on the desserts.

You Say Potato, I Say Potatomato
29 Jun
Restaurants pictured, from top: Cafe Angelique, KTCHN 105, Spice Table.
Now that I have the pleasure of visiting Celeste and “the boy” at their new digs in Downtown LA, I’m becoming more and more enamored with the food scene there. The problem is I get almost all of my leads from the boy, who gets almost all of his from a coworker. Celeste is starting to think I’m this all-knowing foodie because it just so happens that every time we’ve met up in LA, I’ve taken her to a different restaurant of the total five that I know. ;)
So thank goodness for the twin sister bloggers who run Potatomato, which has excellent reviews of a ton of hip Downtown restaurants, including one I’ve been dying to try called KTCHN 105. Now, I know many of you are probably screaming, “Why not Yelp?” at your computers right now. And the reason is that it’s too overrun by reviews that start with something like, “I’ve never had Mexican food before, but this place looked interesting …”
Potatomato seems to have exactly what I’m looking for down to an art. Plus they post about travel destinations, which makes me want to call them up to see when we can all get together in Turkey for a meal. I’ve heard Istanbul is beautiful in September!

Wednesday Geek-Out
22 Jun
One of the joys (or maybe embarrassing facts) of working at a NASA center is that you can really let your geek flag fly. That’s why I’m proud to say I think this blog is amazing. Blogger Stéfan arranges a pair of Stormtrooper figurines in hilarious scenes and snaps “candid” shots of their mundane lives. He’s shooting one photo each day for 365 days, so there’s plenty to laugh at!

{Have A Happy Thursday}
16 Jun
What are you guys up to this weekend? I haven’t done one of these Happy Thursday posts in a while and thought I’d bring it back! This weekend, I’ll be seeing our very own Kim tonight for dinner at WoodSpoon (our obsession) and then the next couple of days are filled with dinner parties for friends and then a very special dinner with the family for Father’s Day on Sunday. So…I’ll be eating. A lot. Do you guys have plans for Father’s Day?
Until Monday, here are some fun reads and links to enjoy:
- Love all the decor in this backyard wedding!
- A Father’s Day Gift Guide from Joanna–always in awe of the wonderfully unique gifts she finds
- Clever, concise notebooks (perfect for rambling on and on about just one thing)
- This toddler model is a natural!
- Rustic dining rooms: perfection.
- Mint green dresses.
- Last weekend, I went to the Hollywood Farmer’s Market and had the best ice-cream in a loong time: handmade Carmela Ice Cream. Lavender and honey flavor? Yes.
Have a wonderful weekend, guys! xx

Love Letters
6 Jun
Speaking of diaries, here’s a blog that’s heartbreaking and oh-so-sweet all at the same time: Letters to Crushes. With no “about” page, I can only assume anyone can send in a letter and have it published for all — the crush, themselves, or otherwise — to see.
While I could highlight about a thousand entries that made me “awe” out loud or just make a sad-eyed-puppy-dog face, this one from a grandfather to his granddaughter who “doesn’t believe in love” is just crushingly sweet.
There goes the rest of my afternoon …

Bicoastal Wonder
10 May
Have you guys heard of the blog Atlantic-Pacific? I just discovered Bee and her magical, sparkling wonder of a fashion blog and I’m always floored by the outfits she’s wearing. The first time I browsed through her site, it was just one fabulous outfit after another and I found myself uttering an audible “Whoa.” She posts every single day and looks like a gem every. single. day. Those layers! Those accessories! Those hairstyles! Oh, Bee, I’m stuck on you like…well, honey.
Some more recent outfits of Ms. Bee for your viewing pleasure:
Have a Happy Mother’s Day
5 May
I just wanted to wish you all a very, very sweet Mother’s Day this weekend. I hope you’ll spend it with your mom, your grandma, your aunts–pretty much all the lovely ladies in your life! While you’re enjoying the day, I also wanted to leave you with these very tender and honest posts by the wonderful Joanna Goddard on motherhood. Whether or not you have kids in your life, I think you’ll find her posts entertaining and informative either way.
And on that note, I’m curious: If you don’t already have kids, how old would you like to be before having kids? And if you do have kids, do you think they came at the perfect time or would you have liked to be older/younger? :)
p.s. 16 Mother’s Day recipes for breakfast in bed.
Have an amazing weekend, guys! xx
