[D]espite the unseasonably warm weather in Los Angeles this winter, the temperature has dropped back down a bit this week. Still, I have spring fashion on the brain.

dvf for baby gap
[O]h, my. It’s times like this when I am glad I had a baby boy, and not a little girl. I would easily break the bank on the impossibly cute collection Diane Von Furstenburg designed for Baby Gap, that just launched on the 15th. I mean, forget it. I die. [1: Layer Dress 2: Eyelet Wrap Dress 3: Printed Band… Continue reading dvf for baby gap
in the bag
[D]iapers, wipes, extra onesie, snacks.

buddies
[O]h, friends. What would we do without them? Where would we be without them? I shudder to imagine. While I am grateful to boast two friendships that began when I was six years old, I can’t say I’ve had any friends since birth. Or before birth, really. My dearest friend, Ashley, and I, were pregnant… Continue reading buddies

[A]fter an afternoon at the Natural History Museum, we were starving. Craving Mexican food, we walked from Exposition Park at USC over to Mercado La Paloma.

Rhys, much like his dad, was captivated by the… Continue reading rhys meets t-rex
a 1st birthday party
[B]eing an event planner, I debated over themes for Rhys’s first birthday party for weeks. Well, agonized, really. Several ideas spun in my head, but in the end, I decided on scrapping a theme altogether. It’s a 1 year-old’s party. Why over think it? There’s such beauty in simplicity. What’s the sense in elaborate decorations… Continue reading a 1st birthday party

[U]m, where was this diaper bag when I was registering? I love the geometric prints. So clean, cool, and mesmerizing.
