I was wandering around Highland Park when I happened upon the most serene women's clothing and home store called Sonomama.  They have all the goods for your spiritual well being as well as some seriously dope gifts, you know like the kind you buy for yourself...  Needless to say,  I will be back.

One of my favorite shops we visited in San Francisco had to be Paxton Gate on Valencia.  Walking in here is like going to a natural history museum, but you can buy pretty much everything you see. Oh and they even have a nursery in the back.

West Elm Fall Preview = awesome! I'm especially loving the flat bar storage desk...and bookshelf...and printer caddy. Ok enough from me. Go look for yourself.

Yu-uh-um!  I found this amazing Sierra Mar Cookbook from Ivanhoe Books.  I'm so inspired I can't wait to make everything in it.


I actually stopped in to get this Fresh Tomato Leaf candle from Lawson Fenning but couldn't leave without visiting the bookstore in the back.  I know I've said it before but I love these stores.

I've been dreaming of this necklace for a while now, but every time I go to the Etsy site it's sold out.  Major bummer.  Maybe I'll just have to settle for these pretty cuffs instead...no I want that necklace!

*little update. I finally got it!!!*

I'm still searching for the perfect something for my man for his birthday (tomorrow) aah I know!!! I'm such a procrastinator!  I've been shopping all over the place including Mohawk General Store, which is chock full of amazing things but I'm too scared of getting it wrong so I haven't bought anything at all! 

Ok well maybe I have some little things up my sleeve but the big gift is still M.I.A.

I'm really excited about Driftwood, a newly opened boutique down the street in Sunset Junction.  I haven't actually gone in yet because, well, I'm scared I would spend all my money, and Justin's birthday is coming up soon so I have to be good.

Went to St. Vincent de Paul (the most gigantic thrift store in the universe) and found two fabulous high waisted pleated trousers for only 4 bucks each!  Happy day.

I saw these necklaces at Guild clothing boutique on Abbot Kinney.  I was blown away by everything they carried especially these pieces by designer Arielle De Pinto.  She literally weaves together delicate chain in an ombre pattern.  With my brief experience making jewelry out of the same material I am amazed and have no idea how she does it.

For all these Japanese head over to Tortoise General Store in Venice.  They carry a beautifully curated collection of Japanese imports from stationary to furniture. I have been dreaming of this Tendo Mushroom Stool for a long time now.  One day it will be mine.
