Pretty much had this album on repeat while painting the new place white, it made the job much more relaxing.

Hey all!  Spring is in  the air and I got a real itch to change things up, so I moved, hence the terribly neglected blog.  I've been trying to make our new house a home, which means painting every room white ha! and about a million other things.  More on that later.

Back to Spring...one of my favorite quarterlies, Wilder, gave me a little sneak peak at their latest issue and it really inspired me to get out of my house and go outside.  Oh and they're doing workshops now!

Love this!

Hey guys!  My friend Nicole is involved in a competition to better LA and I think her group's idea is super pimp.  If you have time check out the link and vote!  Here are a few words from her...

GOOD Magazine is hosting LA2050, encouraging the city's designers and community activists to re-imagine the city for the year 2050. It's a competition y'all and the River LAnding Collective needs your VOTE! The project proposes to totally re envision the way we view the Los Angeles River, one small step at a time. It's an awesome project and has the potential to make serious change for the river and the city of Los Angeles. Imagine the river as a public amenity for all of LA!!! Like the mountains and the beach, the Los Angeles River has major potential to be experienced and explored like a natural river should! We have a RIVER running through our city! Let's celebrate it!! Here's the link to watch the project video and cast your vote

bon appetit

I'm pretty into salads lately as I'm trying to get a bodacious summer bod (say that with a straight face).  My new favorite salad is chickpea and spinach with shaved red onion, mint, chili flakes, and lemon zest dressing.  Its super fresh and delicious and you don't feel hungry afterwords.  Anywho I was searching around for other ideas and I found this lovely recipe.  Enjoy!

A new local line based on clean modern silhouettes and quality silks and cottons?  You had me at hello.  I was lucky enough to get a little sneak peak at Axthelm's new collection and let me tell you, I love. I plan to wear my new white silk dress (pictured in the middle) just about everyday come summer.

modular dwellings 

 Spring is officially here and I'm itching for a new project for my casa but there's nothing left for me to do inside.  (frowny face)
I came across this super awesome MD100 dwelling designed by Edgar Blazona that you can build yourself for around $1500, only problem is I don't have any space outside that's even close to level...what to do..what to do...

Believe it or not I love pink. Seriously.  It's true.  Well very small punches of pink anyway.  Anywho these neon pink accents get my stamp of approval.
