pretty hair

I have seen this hair-how-to posted on three of my favorite blogs this week; the side chignon. Well I must have some seriously stylish friends because this one in particular had her hair like this back in september. so pretty.

happy saturday!

summer is on.

it has been so hot here that this is all I really want to do.

happy birthday

today is my birthday and I have decided to be super happy about it. Over the last couple of years I have dreaded this day, like it somehow mattered what age I actually am. But now I am going to be really happy about it, much more in tune with how I feel about my friends and families' birthdays. It is so wonderful celebrating the people you love and telling them how great they are, so today I will celebrate and feel the love, it's about time.

these polariods were taken on my birthday in 2006, we had a smashing good time at cobras and matadors in los angeles.
