The Dress Theory

How I wish I would have know about The Dress Theory in Green Lake when I was wedding dress shopping. This Parisian influenced salon was full of unique, hand made dresses; french provincial furniture; and of course bubbly drinks for all. What really caught my attention though were the dresses designed by Clare Pettibone, an LA designer known for her couture dresses. Here were some of my favs.  

Love this cut and color, so feminine.

Sexy cut with lace covering.

Vintage feel.

Cute braided straps.

My favorite short dress, so fun. Can't you imagine dancing in this one?

Gorgeous lace.

Color, texture, and cut = radiant!

Raw, Awkward, and Hilarious

My dear friend, Jessica Lee Wiliamson, is hilarious. Her raw and dry humor cracks me and the rest of Los Angeles up every time. Her uncomfortably real stories mixed with her shaky voice prove to be just awkward enough. She is a MOTH grand finalist and is growing in popularity more and more with accolades to prove it. 

Tallest Man on Earth

My latest obsession: Tallest Man on Earth's, Kristian Mattson, from Sweden. His lyrical, Dylan esc. guitar and voice are inseparable and dreamy.

Anne Irene Thomas 1962 - 2012

She will be remembered always for her larger than large personality, quirky humor, political savvy, and vivacious self. As the only living sister of my father she was a mentor and inspiration to me. She showed me courage and confidence through her independence, career, her relationships with family and friends, and most recently through the way she dealt with her illness. I will carry her with me always.
