On A Pie High

The other night while lounging around in my pajamas I blurted out, "I could go for some pie." To my delight I got a "me too!" followed by a light bulb going off in the head expression. Ten minutes later I was dressed and we were headed over the hill to House of Pies.

Ten minutes after getting my strawberry slice and his French apple, this is what our plates looked like.

If only our empty plates could do the pies justice. :) Here's to hoping all of you satisfy your cravings this weekend. Meet you back here on Monday!

Boyish Charm

Today's post features my new favorite "comfy" jeans, found at my local Goodwill for $5! My hunt for a boyfriend jean has come to an end, and I couldn't be happier it cost me the same as a Mango-a-go-go at Jamba Juice. Score!

There's nothing better than scouring through a bunch of shrunken, worn-out, and tacky clothing, and actually finding some treasures. Trust me, last time was a total bust. This time, I strolled out of there with 2 pairs of jeans and a silk Banana Republic sleeveless blouse. Items that I'm sure will make an appearance in later posts.

Because....who doesn't need a little mid-week love song...



...and teddy bears. :)

Handbag Girl

There's two types of girls out there...the handbag girl and the shoe girl. I happen to fall into the first category. I tend to avoid situations where high heels come into play. Sorry if i don't want to be at the same height as my 6 foot tall boo, but I like my normal height of 5'9"...err...maybe its more like 5'81/2".

Don't get me wrong, beautiful shoes call my name just the same as you, but killer handbags have a special place in my heart. Some of these might even find a place in my closet.

Beaded clutch- $48
White Leather bag- $120
Denim bow bag- $55
Yellow clutch- $80

Hope you all are having a great start to your week. I'm off to enjoy my day off, grabbing some lunch, and maybe shoot an outfit post for tomorrow. We shall see...

Head Meet Band

I'm always looking for new ways to spruce up my hair. The headband is always a great go-to solution for when you don't have time or just want to pull it back and still be chic. I love how these headbands incorporate current fashion trends from exposed zippers to bib necklace inspired beads.

Zipper Flower by Forever 21 @ $4.80
Black Glass Stone by White House Black Market @ $38
Gemstone by Jennifer Ouellette (Barney's) @ $85
Mesh Knot by Topshop @ $18

Hope you ladies have a great hair day!

Watching: The Colony

Last night I came upon an amazing new reality/survival show on Discovery. It's called The Colony, where a bunch of strangers come together to test their knowledge and specialty areas (engineering, security, nursing and many others) in a post-apocalyptic scenario. They must find their own water, food, and other factors to survive. The show is a mix of the Will Smith film, I Am Legend and Survivor. I like to think of it as a modern, gritty Swiss Family Robinson, which was one of my childhood favorites.

I was hooked within the first five minutes. Watch to see if you will too.

Show-N-Tell

There's a few reasons why I love Old Town Pasadena. The combination of all of these made for a wonderful day.
