::: venice to santa monica :::

a gloomy, Sunday bike ride along the coast is just what we needed. 

Venice Beach to Santa Monica enjoying the warm air, snapping polaroids, people watching and each other.

(and trust me... there are plenty of "interesting" people to be seen in this part of LA for sure)

a perfect afternoon.

{weekend in pictures} No.38

Sunshine and first sips of Coca-Cola in over two months, ahi poke (OMG!) and movie dates with birthday girls, beach bike rides and lots and lots of tacos makes for a great weekend. Saturday night was filled with cocktails and "iTunes roulette" in which we all (one of my besties is currently our houseguest) took turns playing songs from our iPhones to the Apple TV, blasting whatever ridiculous selection into our backyard well into the night (yes, there may have been a dance party on the lawn). I'm sure our neighbors loved us.

{weekend in pictures} No.37

It's safe to say I spent most of the weekend naked. Sunshine and homemade baked donuts (mostly naked). Brunches and bike rides (okay, a little bit of clothes for that). New tenants above our porch light (just when I was about to replace it, of course) and we just might have bought a new fridge. One of those sexy, stainless, bottom freezer, am almost shocked it doesn't mix your drink for you types? Is it weird that I'm like so super excited for it to arrive? Yeah, kinda can't wait to organize it. My other half still only gets one day off a week (if even that!) so we crammed as much as we could into Sunday. Hope your weekend was filled with fun!

P.S. Thanks for leaving behind those whipped chocolate shots, Mom. They taste just like mini White Russians! Don't worry, I'll buy more just in time for your next visit!

{above the bed}

Living in a city that's prone to earthquakes, we're told that it's not always the best idea to hang things above the bed but I just can't resist these funky, sexy above the bed ideas. Pretty sure it's not the potential earthquakes that are keeping that spot on my wall bare... It's my indecisiveness because I just love all of these way too much!
