El Guincho

I know this song probably isn't news, but I had never seen the video before looking it up today. Despite what may be seen as trendy, hipster-esque qualities, it's still fun and fresh. I hope you enjoy.

Christmas Cactus

Farm Fresh

My childhood friend, Carly, and I have found the "Peace Barn" off of the I-101 along the central coast of CA! We spotted this little treasure on a hiking adventure and now we always visit when in the area to pick up some organic tomatoes, pet the cats, and pick berries.

Rodarte Redwoods

Spring fashion is so exciting! Ask me my favorite designer and I'll probably answer with something like: Every designer's Spring collection is my favorite! It makes sense since I'm from California, where the weather is generally pleasant always. And, since I would like to think of this as a lifestyle blog rather than a fashion blog, I give to you... Rodarte Spring 11!!! (Even though they're about to show Fall)

When I heard the Mulleavy sisters had taken their Spring '11 inspiration from Northern California and the redwoods my cabin was surrounded by, a little seed must have been planted in me. It's been months since, and I can feel myself becoming increasingly enthusiastic about these ladies I was already a fan of because they are from California!

This Spring I will keep the Rodarte aesthetic in mind when I am updating my wardrobe.
