sugar is my weakness

May 31st | adventures, food & goodies

when chrissie and i met in santa barbara a few weeks ago we couldn’t just walk by. we had to go in. we had to sample something.

crushcakes is a new cupcake shop in my favorite little getaway town of carpinteria. and i couldn’t be happier that they opened a little shop there.

we shared a vanilla bean cupcake. it was perfect.

we added sugar to our iced teas since the cupcake wasn’t sweet enough. ha! i even doodled in the sugar. sugar = happiness. or at least a moment of pure pleasure.

what’s your weakness?

angel antiques, carpinteria ca

May 26th | adventures, inspiration

chrissie and i discovered the sweetest antique shop in carpinteria, california. it’s full of wonderful treasures. make sure you have plenty of time to browse and hunt for the perfect piece.

i ended up with a painted vase from mexico {you can see it pictured below} which is sitting on my mantel as we speak. i also brought home a few vintage trophies and some antlers.

the disco ball wasn’t for sale–but how fun would that be?!

still on the lookout for a couple smaller globes and maybe a colorful croquet set. if you are driving on the 101 near santa barbara, make sure to stop by angel antiques. their located at 4846 carpinteria avenue. so fun!

May 25th | what i wore wednesdays

it’s wednesday, which means i’m linking up with lindsey again! i attended the sweetest wedding on saturday and this is what i wore. dress, vintage, ruby rose. boots, anthro. belt, local boutique. sweater, target.

i wore the molded heart bracelet which has been pretty much on my wrist non-stop lately. i used my fingers to twirl my hair while i diffused it and it made the curls more like ringlets. such a fun, beautiful day!

i’ve said before that i use herbal essence, body envy mousse and hairspray. love ‘em and they’re cheap! share with us, do you have a favorite hair product?
