TEN IMAGES OF INSPIRATION : WITCHY.

October is upon us and I am starting to get into the Halloween spirit. It's a little harder to completely feel it down here in LA, with the lack of a changing of seasons, but I am still embracing the gothy, witchy things right now.

TEN IMAGES OF INSPIRATION : CITY OF ANGELS.

Before I moved from Portland to Los Angeles in March, I had no idea if I was going to like it here. I left southern California when I was twenty-three with such a bad taste in my mouth, bitter and positive I'd never come back. After my husband (then fiancé) and I decided to move down here for career opportunities and family, I was quite weary about how I would feel being back again. Let me tell you: I love it: the weather, the architecture, the food (the tacos... oh, the tacos), the bars, the beach, the constant things to do, the style... we are quite happy we decided to do this. Los Angeles, I'm loving you.

INTERIOR INSPIRATION : RECORD LISTENING PARTY.

We have been in our new place almost five months and still don't have our record player hooked up - we need new speakers and some great swap meet find to put it on. It's definitely going to have to happen soon though, since I am itching to stretch out on the floor and listen to my favorite records (Billie Holiday... Dolly Parton... The Smiths... the list goes on and on.)

TEN IMAGES OF INSPIRATION : DONUT LOVE.

I have been on such a donut kick lately. I wake up all the time wanting to hop in my car and try out new donut shops in town (if you live in the LA-area, my favorites at the moment are here & here- I love a good classic). Not only are they insanely delicious, but just looking at them makes me happy. Be on the lookout this week- I have a little donut-inspired download coming soon.

TEN IMAGES OF INSPIRATION : SUMMER HEAT STYLE.

My oh my, it's hot down here in southern California. Here is some style inspiration for those days when the sun is blazing and sweat is pouring, but you still want to look good.
