How We're Helping for Haiti

Let me start by saying that if you haven't yet helped out Haiti in anyway- you need to. NOW. Whether you help by sending some money or saying a prayer, it truly is important for everyone to make some kind of a contribution (even if it does mean that you go Starbucks free for a day... i'm sure you'll survive). In addition to texting 'HAITI' to 90999 last week, I just purchased my tickets to see the Real Medicine for Haiti show which includes live acoustic performances at the House of Blues in LA. Have I mentioned how much I love it here in LA?!

Who am I most excited to see perform? BRETT DENNEN. Ever since I layed ears on his songs I have been simply smitten- if you haven't become a fan of his, become one! :)

Alright, well have a good weekend everyone. No work tomorrow= no post tomorrow. Adios chica/os!

What I'm Wishing for this Wednesday

3 Things I want... desperately.

A lifetime supply of Sauvignon Blanc wine- it’s like a large dose of happiness in each glass! Full of citrus and berry flavors it’s bound to cheer anyone up from the mid-week blues we all encounter. Check out the ever-accurate wikipedia for a description of what exactly I am raving about.

A manicure with taupe colored nail polish. This unexpected color goes with nearly any outfit and has a cool factor even when chipped!

A cognac colored handbag- an unexpected neutral goes with practically any outfit I can put together in my head. The particular one I have my eye on? Go ahead, drool a little- I surely did!

DEAR READERS:

Hello! While I hope that I have drawn at least a small crowd of viewers I am wondering: WHERE ARE YOU??

It would be my greatest wish to have a few (or all) of you post comments. After all, that is how blogging popularity is measured... or so it seems to be in my eyes. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. I'm not requesting that you comment each and everytime you read, just every so often. I would be ETERNALLY grateful!

In exchange, I will make a greater effort to post things that are more interactive- possibly post questions and pictures? Also, if anyone has suggestions- feel free to let me know!

Thanks again.

RAIN, RAIN, GO AWAY

In lieu of the non-stop rain here in LA, I have listed a handful of things that I am currently loving-- all water related! I have highlighted the words that relate to water for your reading ease. Enjoy =D

Joe Purdy and his song: I love the rain



Click the album cover to go directly to itunes to preview the song!



Sea of Shoes. This blog is written by a shoe obsessed girl in high school who posts photos of her INCREDIBLE outfits and details about her life. She is so popular and has such a great eye for fashion Urban Outfitters asked her to create her own line of shoes through them!



Wavy hair is so California chic.. ladies with the naturally flowing locks- consider yourselves lucky!



okay, okay so in addition to envying her beachy waves we envy...well, everthing else.







My fish, Shellie! (no pics currently but this sapphire blue beta is a distant ancestor)

My latest obsessions..

Lately, I can't get enough of:

Modern Family (with some popcorn or wine, or both)

--This trio makes for a great Wednesday night!

Vampire Weekend, I originally downloaded then on my iPod for a little extra motivation to workout, this band has literally blown my mind since day one and I can’t stop listening to it!

Finding vintage items for WAYY cheap. Or anything way cheap, for that matter.

Getting mail! Weird as it sounds, living in a new place is way more fun when you get things in the mail. Even bills are fun, although care packages and cute cards are preferred =)
