Weekly Wrap-Up

Ben snapped this shot of Cooper and I enjoying the sunshine. Cooper was very happy to see the lounge chair return to the patio this week. He loves his perch and I'm loving this warm California weather. My last week of freedom before going back to work went by way too fast. At least I'll still have my weekends to hang with my boys and work on my tan. And let's not forget daylight savings to extend the days to come.

Currently Reading: Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen
Highlights of the Week: an afternoon in the park & game night with friends
Weekend To-Do List: create latte art & find a vintage caravan of our own

Bloglove:
* I'm really loving these photography tips from A Beautiful Mess.
* Hula Seventy shared the most amazing double decker dress shop.
* The beautiful story of Keep Calm & Carry On via Probably Best.
* Totally dreaming of the new Red Valentino Lookbook shared by A Piece of Lisa.
* What?! An instagram printer?! Mine.

And look what I'm doing in October...


Run for Your Lives is a zombie infested 5K obstacle course race in which zombies attempt to "infect" you by stealing your flags as you maneuver through the various obstacles towards the finish line. Um... this is me realizing my absolute worst fear and anyone who knows me knows that you had me at the word zombie. Ben and I are all registered for the Southern California race in October and I get giddy with excitement of what's to come whenever I watch this video. This is going to be epic.

Have a great weekend!

    I can NOT wait* to work on my tan! Looks so lovely and relaxing.

    Thank you for words on my post about my Mom and I going to town. I just LOVE goldfish too! I could eat it every day. I actually didn't get to buy those pants you commented about... I tried them on, snapped the picture, and left without them! :( I wish I hadn't now.

    Have a great weekend, friend!

Palm Springs Iconic Home Tour

As some of you may know, this week is Modernism Week in Palm Springs, California and we had the unique opportunity of touring the newly named historic site, the Menrad House, designed by William Krisel. It was the perfect balance of casual flow and minimalist simplicity. All I can say is I wanted to move in right then and there. Loving this retro design and those clerestory windows allowing for all of that natural light without sacrificing ones privacy. That artwork is fantastic and the bedding in that master bedroom...  love . This patio cover is to die for. A genius way to provide a bit of shade without feeling closed in. The design is so simple but the overall effect is absolutely stunning. Apparently, these homes sold so fast that a brochure was never even produced to promote them. I snapped a few shots of the neighboring houses and will share them soon. Next up, a tour of vintage trailers and caravans on Saturday. Can't wait to get inspired for wh

Purple Power Juice

As we wrap up our 3 day juice reboot , I find myself thinking about this fruity concoction we enjoyed on day 2 . A strong, berry burst with a bite of ginger, perfect as a morning pick-me-up. Remember, fruit is best consumed in the morning on an empty stomach because it moves through your digestive system much faster than other foods. 6 cups of concord grapes 1 green apple 1/2 cup of blackberries 2 2"  pieces of ginger (I used 1 1" piece because ginger is super strong) Enjoy! xo Sécia Check out our other juice recipes  here !
