Ok here is my garden post I promised. The garden box is going crazy, its really hard to believe that you can grow so many yummy fruits and veggies in such a small space, but it's working!
I finally finished my teepee! Well almost, I'm planning on using leather chord to tie the posts together as well as secure the "walls" to the posts. Also it needs a little decoration, but that will just have to wait for now. Anywho the process was really simple and I recommend that anyone thinking about making one should go for it. Here is how I achieved teepeedom.
Step 1:Get yourself some posts. I found mine at my local nursery for only $3.99 a piece. I believe the length is 8 feet.
Step 2: Tie that s*** together. Like I said, I'm planning on using leather, but used canvas fabric I had laying around in the meantime.
Step 3: If the neighbor's dog won't leave you alone take one of those $3.99 price tags and try to return it to said nursery.
(Step 3 works for any dog, ^Ali)
Step 4: Space the posts out to your liking, I wanted mine to be super huge.
Step 5: Measure, measure, measure.
Step 6: Cut...after you've measured.
Step 7: Sew panels together using heavy weight thread using a stretch stitch. Reinforce the edges.
Step 8: Decorate with blankets, pillows, door mats, puppies, and enjoy!
I only just looked at the label of what I was spraying on my little veggie garden, which by the way is doing super amazing! I kinda wish there was a Captain Jack's Deadbug Brew (sounds like a summer ale) for people cause I would be drinking it right now. Also, it smells like English Muffins outside and I want one.
Just scored this little piece o' pyrite from a lovely little shop. I need to stop buying things, but for $11 how could I say no?
I'm gonna go ahead and add these leather and wood wedge clogs by Jeffrey Campbell to my wish list for summer.

I can't help but wishing restaurant design in LA was up to par with that in New York. Take for example Boqueria above. It may be me but when I go it seems like even the not so good restaurants in NY look better and the food tastes better, maybe there are just more of them, maybe the food is better, either way step it up LA I'm bored!
Styled vs. not styled.
I've been day dreaming of getting away since my fellow and I booked out tickets for Cape Cod the other day, but it seems like August can't get here fast enough! For now I'll just have to wish it was me in these photos instead of those lucky little kids.
My sisters and I grilled peaches and served them with vanilla bean ice cream and home made whipped cream but they didn't look as amazing as these ones. Tartelette is full of gorgeous food photography and super yummy recipes I can't wait to try!
I've been wanting to make outdoor seating from pallets for a while now, so when I came across a whole pile of them in an alley a few weeks ago I grabbed as many as I could and got to work. Trying to spend as little money as possible, I picked up four dog beds ($10 a piece at Ross), made covers for the dog beds with fabric I scored from St. Vincent's ($5), and plopped them on the pallets (free!)
We've been up there every chance we get, soaking up the sun and drinking ice cold beers! Oh and the garden isn't doing so bad either since we've put a little canopy over it, but I'll do a separate post for that.

Here are some inspiring outdoor spaces that made me want to take advantage of mine.
