Here’s another of my early spring (backlogged) outfits. Even though this was worn a few months ago, it could still work now. Our weather has been weird this spring, and instead of nonstop warm sunny days, we’ve been getting a lot of cooler overcast days. It’s starting to make me crazy cause it’s nearly June and my swimming pool is like ice! I’m hoping things heat up soon because I love to swim. It’s very therapeutic for me so I’m counting down the days.

Off Duty Style + Personal Update
I’m sure some of you have noticed that I haven’t blogged in like a million years…(i.e. since February). The truth is, something traumatic happened in mid February that sent me into a temporary (but very intense) depression. For several months I cried myself to sleep at night and woke up every morning with a feeling of hopelessness. Now in mid May, I’m feeling decidedly better. I’m still not my former carefree self, but (fingers crossed) I’m on my way. Since I have some energy back, I realize how much I’ve missed blogging, and I happen to have a small backlog of looks that were shot right before things got crazy. This look was shot on a casual Sunday, while hanging out with my friend/assistant/fellow blogger Jessica.

Mt. Baldy | Snow Day & Rockslide Drama
I lived in the heart of LA for nearly a decade (and loved every minute of it). But more recently, when it came time to settle down and buy a house, my hubby and I decided on the suburbs – 1. Because he works in the suburbs and a five minute commute is better than a two hour commute. 2. Because it’s cheaper, DUH. So now we live in the foothills of the San Gabriel mountains, about 45 minutes from the city (if traffic is light). It’s a bit quieter, but definitely still busy enough. In our particular case, we live right as the base of the highest peak of the San Gabriels, Mount San Antonio, or more commonly Mount Baldy. In fact, we have a gorgeous view of the mountain right from our doorstep…
Winter Wedding | Congrats To Purely Jessica
I first met my good friend Jessica a few years back when I was looking for an assistant to help out with day-to-day fashion tasks (as well as Urban Darling tasks). She was a recent fashion school grad who applied to one of my job postings, and I liked her right away. She was a bit shy and quiet, but very sweet, and I knew we would get along well. While I’ve always been more interested in design and styling, she’s a talented seamstress who makes most of her clothes by hand. She also has a great eye for photography, and takes most of my blog photos. When I was married exactly a year ago this month (on Dec. 27th) I even asked her to do my wedding photos. It was a very small, intimate ceremony, and I didn’t want to make a lot of fuss by hiring a professional. Jessica was there with me through the whole process – as I got ready right through to the end of the event, and I think the photos turned out wonderfully.
