I-N-S-A-N-I-T-Y!
Makes me want to hook a few paint tins up to a TNT pump
and decorate a white room Wyle E. Coyote style!

I hope you all enjoyed your weekends!
It was actually my birthday on Sat so mine was filled with
ALOT of sunshine, food, drinks and laughter!
Fun fun fun.

P.S HAPPY FEBRUARY!

A Menagerie of Fun

I have some fun things to share with you today!

First, did you know I had a forehead and eyebrows? I usually cover them up, so I thought I would show you how I used to wear my hair pre-bangs. This is the first time in over eight months that I was able to curl my hair with rollers! It's finally getting long enough for me to play with it again. Yay! Plus, I love the 40's vibe of the hairdo.

Second, look at this gorgeous necklace that Beatrice, of Dear Beatrice, sent me! I love love love it. Beatrice and I did an Etsy shop swap, so she sent me this beautiful necklace and I sent her two items from my new Spring line.

Hippie Hippie Hooray











A few more photos to come but the selection so far are originated from a day spent in Marin. Dropped by Megan's house where the guests are always well fed. Then drove to Fairfax to check out the hippie gear. Back to San Rafael for quick thrifting. Then did random shit that makes hanging out fun. Homemade hummus, quesadillas, and snicker doodies? Seriously.

And the Beat Goes On: Travis

Don't you love those moments when you hear a song for the first time in years and your heart leaps with joy because you had forgotten how much you loved said song! Well that's what happened to me last week when I was watching The Office. This Travis song makes my heart sing. ;)

Classic Film Star: Myrna Loy

I thought it would be fun, for the next few Thursdays, to share with everyone my favorite classic film stars. Every week, I will rotate between men and women. And not only will I share amazing vintage pictures of each star, but I will also do a portrait sketch.

I can think of no one better than Myrna Loy to kick start my series. Not only did she win Queen of the Movies in 1936 alongside Clark Gable the king, but she is also hands down my favorite classic star. Her intriguing looks, impeccable comedic timing and wonderful personality all make me completely adore her.

Plus, it doesn't hurt that I just love her onscreen chemistry with William Powell in The Thin Man series.
