- iMexico! -

One of my best friends Anna is studying in Mexico for the semester. She has been posting photos of her trip and the places she has seen too keep everyone up to date on the adventures she is having. The tiny towns Anna has been staying in are full of culture, art and what sounds like amazing people. Here are some of the cool sites she has seen! We miss you Anna!

- Sierra Marie Photography -

A few months ago my good friend Sierra came to visit me here in Los Angeles. While Sierra was here she shot some great photos of this patisserie Bottega Louie in Downtown that we happen to walk by. Since she is starting her own photography business I thought I would share her beautiful and amazing work with everyone! Enjoy!

- Where The Wild Things Are -

Tomorrow is the long awaited release of Where the Wild Things Are! I am so excited! The roommates and I have decided to venture to the theater tomorrow and see it (hopefully there won't be a room full of crying children and immature middle schoolers). In anticipation for the movie I downloaded the soundtrack, ridiculous I know, but it is fun, happy and puts me in a good mood. Most songs are sung by artist Karen O of the well-known Yeah Yeah Yeah's and all have a sweet and innocent sound to them. I strongly suggest listening to it! 

- Shake it like a Polaroid Picture -

Polaroid Pictures ... Who doesn't love the *magic* of that instantaneous photo and clunky camera? Unfortunately the film has been discontinued, but lucky for us the memories those retro cameras have captured over the years will forever live on. I found this Polaroid gallery on Polanoid.com the other day, It is an online archive of over 200,000 Polaroid pictures sent in from people around the world. The site was founded in 2004 and the creators are trying to build the largest Polaroid photo gallery on the web. There are collections of all sorts of images from people to pets to interesting sites each with that retro white frame and vintage film look. Here are some interesting images I found...

- Awesome Mugs -

The weather is cooling and hot cocoa and tea are on the brain! Chicago based Circa Ceramics makes some of the cutest mugs which are perfect for those brisk fall days. The retro style mugs are each hand painted and fire-glazed with a unique decal on the side. They come in a variety of bright colors and have a large handle for you to easily grip on to. Matching bowls, cups and custom designs are also available to order. Check them out!

- Etsy Find of the Week! -

 I was browsing through the artwork section today and came across the seller Everything Lovely. The art so is charming and sweet. I thought these ones were just adorable...

- UGG BOOTS! -

**Boot weather is approaching** UGG has put out a new line of boots which are so cute. They taunt me on a daily basis and it takes every last bit of restraint not to whip out my credit card and buy them all this very instant. Im such a sucker for a good pair of boots... The knit ones are my favorite!!!

- October already? -

   Where did the year go? It's so hard to believe that the year is entering its final months and the holidays are only a matter of weeks away. I would have to say the best part about October would have to be the cooling weather and the Pumpkin Spice Lattes from Starbucks (my favorite)!!  Here are some fabulous Fall photos to in honor of October. Happy Thursday!

-Pillow Talk-

Etsy.com has become one of my favorite places to surf the internet. There are endless amounts of handmade items all with their own creative flair. I love to just browse through all the different items and see what new creation I can find. As I was looking at my living room this morning I realized we have TOO MANY pillows on our couch and none of which coordinate. So I took it upon my self to head on over to Etsy and look for some chic covers to help with the plethora of unmatched pillows which reside on our sofa. I was lucky enough to find Olive, an adorable Etsy dealer who sells the cutest pillow cases. One pillow case you can even send like a postcard, personalized message and all! Its the most adorable idea I have ever seen and wanted to pass on the find!

- The Color of Mexico -

I love Mexico. I have only had the pleasure of traveling there a few times, but nonetheless, I love it there! The design aesthetic is so bold and bright that every object instantly becomes artwork. From the pottery to the fashion to the food and drinks, the colors are always lively and unique. Here are some of my Mexican inspired photo Finds...

Some Fabulous Photography...

I just came across the most amazing photographer. Max Wanger. Based in the big city of Los Angeles, Max shoots some of the most adorable engagement photos and I am absolutely in love with them! The photos are able to capture so much emotion by his unique use of camera filter and his creative use of props. I just love how he is always telling a story through the moments he captures on film!

- So Long Summer -

Although living in Southern California my summer never officially ends, summer everywhere else has unfortunately come and gone. I found a little inspiration while looking through the new Prada 2010 Spring line as the colors just reminded me of the beauty and fun the season brings us. As a little last farewell to Summer...
