Spring is coming

Pretty soon we spring ahead on our clocks! I can't wait. I love warm nights when the sun lingers past 7:00 pm and the world is full of possibilities. We get a bit of a modified version of spring in Los Angeles since winter tends to be so mild but I still can't wait. Also it hopefully means Hank will sleep a bit later. To get into a spring mood here are some gorgeous clothes by Emerson Fry that will have you dreaming of spring too.

Weekend

Checking out the animals at the Zoo

 This was our first weekend home in a bit where we had no plans, except watching the Oscars of course. We ended up packing in lots of activities. Highlights included a costume pot-lock party at Hank's school on Saturday morning, an impromptu trip to Disneyland Saturday night and specifically Radiator Springs since Hank is fully obsessed with Cars now, and Hank and Mike's trip to the zoo. I am exhausted just writing it all on paper but it actually was a wonderful weekend.

Treat for the Oscars

Oscar Sunday

When I lived in New York my cousin Robin and I had an Oscar tradition that I've tried to carry on during my time in Los Angeles, but my husband isn't always the most willing partner-in-crime. For years I would head over to my cousin's apartment in the East Village in the late afternoon (we never wanted to miss a single moment of the red carpet even that awkward hour when there are no celebrities and it's all Giuliana and Ryan and filler). We would both wear our pajamas, drink champagne and eat cheap Chinese food. It was literally one of my favorite days of the year. Mike will drink a bit of champagne and of course eat Chinese food but getting him to break down the pros and cons of Cate Blanchett's dress or that awkward Anna Hathaway moment is a lot tougher. Regardless I can't wait for Sunday.  

Vacation

We've been in Palm Springs. I am hoping to post more soon! Here is an old photo of Hank from Palm Springs two years ago.

FASHION FILM from Matthew Frost on Vimeo.

This funny film made me laugh out loud. The clothes are lovely and I love how it pokes fun on how fashion loves to take itself very seriously.
