I mean wouldya LOOK at those windows!!!!! And the be-a-utiful floors and that table! I'd even be happy with just that awesome vase of roses! I iz in lurve.

Hangin' handbags

Not that I have hundreds of purses and clutches and bags (well not yet anyway), but it's always difficult figuring out the best way to store them, especially when a lack of space is always an issue. Below are some great ideas for handbag storage.

Hooks

Cubby holes (this is how I store mine)

Clutches in a drawer, love this.

Or hanging them on hooks like these outside of your closet. And having the rest of your closet be perfect like this one. Lucky...

Have a celebratory weekend!

via here and here

I'm celebrating a couple of birthdays this weekend (plus hopefully an Angel's victory tonight), AND it's wonderful colorful Easter aka I get to be around a ton of people and things that I love. Hope you all have a great weekend!

Hi I want this dress and purse

Too bad the dress is $500 and the bag is YSL aka unattainable within my near future. Boo freakin hoo.

Not yo momma's headboard

Kinda really loving these DIY headboards.

Fave Foto on a Friday

I seriously can't get over over how cute my parents are! They're exactly the couple that I want to be when I'm married, and I can only hope to have such a strong marriage (23 years!) as them. I love and cherish them more than I could ever explain. Love you, cuties.

I took this pic last weekend in Big Bear, and it's totally my mom and dad. Dad: complete outdoors lover, as seen by flannel and hat. Mom: her version of the outdoors/cold, is furry boots, blow-dried hair, nail painting in the cabin and bling wherever she can squeeze it in (okay admittedly, I could have used this description of my mom for myself too. Sorry 'bout it.)

Lavendar lemonade cake

I am dying over how great/cute/perfect/nummy this idea is! You scoop out the lemon inside of a lemon, fill it with your favorite lemon cake mix, wrap it in foil, bake, and serve in the lemon shell wrapped in some twine with a lavendar accent! I want to host a shower or party or brunch of some sort asap, solely to serve these cuties!!!

Dream spaces of the day

Loving this open floor Swedish apartment.

Exposed brick + chandelier= match made in heaven.

Wood floors, tons of fresh flowers, white interiors, and natural lighting...I don't even need furniture, this is perfection.

Keep 'em up

If I could be anywhere right now...

I'd be right here.

drinking wine and eating this.

Farmer's market Fridays

Every Wednesday and Friday, there are farmer's markets right in the heart of downtown, walking distance from my work. And you can bet your last penny that I'm there at least once a week. I just love walking around, gettin' in on dem samples, buying/looking at fresh flowers and fruit, high-fiving bums...it's a real hoot I tell ya. Unfortunately, I always end up spending more money here than I plan to, but it's going back to the community, right? And there really is nothing like non store-boughten fresh fruits and veggies.

Anyhow, I'm there so often that I decided to snap a few pics today at lunch, because it's such a nice day out in LA. And there was a new vendor this week: a cheese guy!!! Unfortunately, I didn't snap any pics of the delicious cheese (my hands wuz greasy and cheese-filled sorry bout it). Love you, farmers. Lotz.

All photos courtesy of my fancy and expensive Nikon SLR (jk they're from my iphone).

Have a sunny day, you beautiful people!

Friday faves

This day is literally going by slower than molasses. I'm dying. I look at the clock at least 248712938 times each minute. Only 5 more hours to go...yay....

Anyhow, I'm going to the ANGELS HOME OPENER TONIGHT!!!! Wahoooo!!! Been waitin' for this day for weeks and it's finally upon us! Baseball season is one of my favorites, and I can't wait to go to as many games as possible. Then manana, I'm off to Big Bear, where it's expected to SNOW. In April. In Southern California. WTF PEEPS! Crazy times we're living in. Ca-razay times. Well, below are some gems that made me smile on this slowy slow slow morning. There are quite a few, so enjoy! Happy weekend! GO ANGELS.

Alexander Wang's niece. I die.

Quick and easy dinner for mother hubbard's cupboard

Inspired by my cousin Krystina's recent posts documenting her homemade meals, I decided to start documenting a meal or two per week as I do enjoy cooking, but don't often document it. It's nice finding relatively easy recipes that don't require me hunting down a special herb from the depths of a secluded jungle on a tiny island in the middle of the Pacific where it only grows one day out of the year.

Anyhow, my fridge and cupboard were rather empty last night, so I had to pull a dad (seriously, my dad can make a meal out of rocks and sticks and cobwebs, he's amazing) and make something out of nothing. And thus was born a frittata/scramble/eggy thing that was actually really good and I will probably make it again. I made extra and had the remainder for breakfast on top of toast this morning.

Sauteed mushroom and spinach frittata-y scramble

Ingredients:
- Olive oil (2 tbsp or so)
- Spinach (handfull or two)
- Mushrooms (I sliced up apx. 6 or 7)
- Onion (a little less than half.melovesonions)
- Garlic (one clove, minced)
- Rosemary (1 tsp?)
- 4 eggs
- Salt and pepper (who really knows how much, idk)
- Red pepper flakes

Warm olive oil in the pan, and sautee the onions and garlic; add some salt and peppa. Oh ya shake shake shake. Add rosemary. After onions are soft, add mushrooms. And maybs some more olive oil. (image is blurry due to the excessive shake shake shakin' I was doing)

Add the spinach and continue sauteing with other veggies until soft. Crack the eggs on top and pick out any shells...honestly, some day I'll get it right.

Scramble or flip like a frittata/omelet, however you prefer. Let cook. And pick at it because you're hungry.

And if you are lover o' da spice, add some spicy goodness to this baby. Then plop yourself on your couch with your roommate and watch Crazy/Beautiful for the first time since middle school and swoon over how dreamy Jay Hernandez is and how Kirsten Dunst is just not right for him and what the heck is he thinking she is RUINING HIM and stuff like that.

Promise the next meal will be a little more complex (and by promise, I mean maybe).

Please answer for me
