Shadows jumping all over the walls

 Lazy Sundays, are the best kind of Sunday if you ask me.  Nothing much happening aside from the usual grocery shopping and cleaning up around the house.  Sometimes it's nice not having anywhere to go.  I have an upcoming appointment at the beauty parlor and I'm mulling over changing my hair color.  This is what I do in the week/days leading up to it and I never do anything different.  I just go in, sit down and I barely have to say anything, my hairstylist just works her magic.  However, I'm sort of craving a change, but I am usually not bold enough to do anything about it.  Perchance this time will be different, maybe I'll muster up some courage between now and the appointment.  And, about this outfit, I ran across this dress while I was waiting for my fish tacos one day on my lunch break and I wandered into this cute store and voila found this super cute dress.  The material is so very comfortable and I love the retro vibe of the dress.  The best part is, it is so easy to wear this dress, which made it perfect for my lazy Sunday.

Can I call you my love, can I call you mine?

This weekend is turning out to be a truly pleasant one indeed.  The weather is nice, the horrific winds have ceased, I'm getting to spend time with some very special people, and I've gotten to watch my Netflix-ed Perry Mason episodes, not too shabby.  I wore this outfit out and about today, I dropped by the Open Market Place at Sunset and Highland and had a wonderful time.  You might remember this sweater from here and this skull dress from my 25th birthday day at Disneyland.  I actually love this skull dress, from a far it just looks like a pattern, maybe flowers or polka dots but up close you find that it is skulls.  I attempted to avoid wearing this dress in the month of October because the one time I did, of course I heard how cute my Halloween dress is, ugh...so anyways, it is now December and safely far enough away from Halloween to wear it again.

Fabulous Finds Friday

Since it's December and I'm thinking about the upcoming holidays, my finds, I'm finding are items I could imagine giving as gifts, not only to myself but to other people.  But, who am I kidding, I generally shop with the 1:1 ratio, one for them and one for me.  That being said I am absolutely in love with these Agate Coasters from Uncommon Goods.  They are so beautiful and not just your average coasters.  I would love to offer one of my guests one of these beauties as they threateningly move to place their moistened beverage on my hardwood.  But, this is also the kind of beautiful item I could just as easily give to someone as a housewarming gift or a holiday present, it is sure to charm even the most difficult mother in law.


                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

When giving holiday gifts, I most certainly can not forget about my number one love, my dog, Wesley, who has made a couple of appearances on this blog.  Usually we drop by the local Petco and I let him pick out a toy but I am really loving these mid-century modern dog bowls from Modpet and really isn't that what gift giving is all about? Giving people stuff YOU really love?  Well perhaps in addition to these fab bowls he will still get to pick out a toy.  I am a total sucker for mid century design and I think these would look very stylish in my kitchen.

I love visitng my mom because she sort of lives out in the middle of nowhere.  It is nice to have that feeling of being "away".  This isn't where I grew up but it still feels very comfortable.  Just up the road from her is a small farm with a lovely bunch of cows.  I don't know why cows got me so excited but I had to go over and introduce myself and they were so friendly, I even had the childlike fancy of taking one home as a pet.  Unfortunately I don't think my boyfriend or my dog would be very happy about the new addition so I bid my farewell and told them I'd see them again soon.
