want of the day

Kat and Mac McMillan of Pierrepont Hicks tout their newest product, Hicks Backseat Blanket, as “perfect for that evening bonfire on the beach, or a football game…” But when I own this scrumptious turquoise and tangerine throw, it will never leave my couch! I can totally see it gracing the pages of Domino: Quick Fixes! – can’t you? Must get my hands on one before it sells out :)

morning becomes eclectic + kelly wearstler

Call me a nerd, but one of the things I love most about Los Angeles is its wonderful national public radio affiliate, KCRW. Every day from 9am to noon PST, the station airs an awesome music program called Morning Becomes Eclectic. While in traffic last Wednesday, I happened to catch the program’s guest DJ segment featuring fashion and interior designer Kelly Wearstler (!!). For those of you living elsewhere in the country, the short feature is available for download on KCRW’s website. If you’re anything like myself, you’re sure to find it wildly entertaining :) 

barneys for babies

When I am able to scan Barneys New York’s children’s clothing + wish I had a child to fit into their darling dresses rather than wishing I were a smaller size, I might be ready to have children. (I’m definitely not there yet.) But really, kid’s clothes are so stylish these days! Wouldn’t you love to have a hot pink ikat dress like the above? I love the tiered Lanvin confection too, though it’s more Suri Cruise than myself. Does this every happen to you, or do you think I'm completely crazy?
