Abbot Kinney Festival

I have been going to the Abbot Kinney Festival for the last 4 years, and I have to say, this year was the best! The weather was a little warm, and I now look like a lobster, but the vendors and vibe were the best yet. There was a bunch of 'food trucks.' However you could not get to them cause the lines were so long. I got to see a bunch of old friends, and even some new ones. A few of them even had booths there. And I'd like to plug them!

First is Opal Moon Designs 

Benji worked with Kerrie on a movie two years ago. We bumped into her not long after the movie wrapped. And I've been fallowing her on her website here. I love her clothes, but have been drooling over this belt she makes. You can buy and her designs here.  For a little pre view, here is the belt and a picture from the Festival.

JD is one of the spiciest men I know! And makes the ONLY hot sauce I like! And its HOT! When I was pregnant I would put it on some gluten free chicken strips and make myself some hot wings! Yum! He makes some of the most flavorful hot sauces around. I would say go to his website and get yourself some!  Just an fyi, Benji eats the Chipotle Garlic Sauce almost every morning! 

Mr. Kate jewelry

I went to school with this lady. We never really talked. She is a very talented jewelry designer, decorator, blogger, artist and actress, (you may have seen her in Entourage, and you can see all of the above on her website). And she does not know it, but she played a huge part of inspiring me starting my blog. 

Kate has a line of jewelry that I LOVE! You can find her here.

This is one of my very favorite pieces she has! 

 Le Cadeau

 She has an amazing since of fashion, and always has. Her Blogs are a fun quick read, and I totally encourage you to fallow her posts, and buy LOTS of MrKate jewelry. And as soon as I buy a piece I will post a picture and let you know how wonderful it is! 

Here are a few of more of my favorites

I'd rather be blue, thinking of you...

It seams that the 'Baby Blues' are out to get me again. 

You wanna talk about a whole bunch of no fun. Well this is. It was bad the other day, and to 'try' to cheer me up Benji kicked me and Berlin out of the house for a walk. I  walked north. About two miles north. I walked by the Whole Foods, Starbucks, some salons, and finnaly it was getting cold and there was Wallpaper City. I called Benji to come and get us, and dreamed about what I want our house to look like. Then today a very good friend and I went to Ikea. One of my fav places in the world. Since I have never lived on my own, or decorated my house from beginning to end, I love to dream, and being broken hearted when I see the price tags. But we do have a change jar filling with change that will be turned into a new dinning table! I cant wait!

by the way... sorry about not blogging as much as I would like. My laptop died on me... another one bites the dust!
