My Closet in My Dressing Room : Complete {OLD Closet & Dressing Room}
My office/dressing room is 99% complete. I’m just being an insane perfectionist at this moment and still have a few more finishing touches to add. It’s overflowing with feminine clutter and fabulousness and is a dream to work and dress in. It inspires me daily. I’ve definitely shown you a few different sections of it …
Flea Market Finds : The Sherman Oaks Antique Mall
As promised, here are the decor pieces/photos I shot the last time I was at The Sherman Oaks Antique Mall.

Office Project : Inspiration Cork Board Wall Cork Tiles & Little Gold Framed Mirrors
I love a good inspiration board in my office. In fact, I’ve had some sort of bulletin board with clippings and photos and magazine tears in my room since I was a kid. I love it. I can’t really live without one …dramatic, yes. So it was only obvious I was going to add one …
My (old) Office/Dressing room – projects & progress

I guess this’s how I’m working through it
I’m not sure that I quite understand sadness …or rather, what to do with so much of it. I know that for so long I dealt with it angrily. And as hard as I try to handle it maturely now, when sadness completely overwhelms me I will still sometimes resort to a tiny temper tantrum …
Summer 2010 : Installment no. 8
For the first time ever, the Murietta League united as one at our house this morning to conduct their much anticipated 2010 Fantasy Football Draft.

A Bit of Nautical Cool
What I’m Wearing* Paige Premium Denim “Debonair” 11″ Jeans in Rebel Without A Cause …my absolute favorite jeans right now.
