Oh hey there friends!  As I sit here typing this, I am already on my second cup of coffee.  My sister, her husband, and my adorable nephew arrived for a visit yesterday and we have been going non-stop ever since!  Touring around the Warner Brothers lot, visiting the American mastadon at the La Brea Tar Pits, sipping iced coffees at Intelligentsia, dining out at Umami, and hiking in the hollywood sign well after dark…  That was just the first day!  We have lots of plans to be buzzing about town again today and then relaxing a bit with a small dinner party in the backyard this evening.  What are you all up to this weekend?  Since I am otherwise engaged for a few days, I thought I would leave you with some of my favorite links from the week!

I have only worn these a handful of times, but they are my favorite beauty accessory!

One of my favorite fashion friends that I have met in recent days… and super stylish to boot!

The best virtual book club from a sweet friend and uber talented photographer…

I have never felt super stylish in sneakers, but these could be a game changer…

Many of my very favorite recipes come from this site– this one and its amazing!

I am obsessed with this Style at Home series and this particular edition does not disappoint!

Simple, beautiful color blocking.
