New Things

This week I purchased the most amazing leather clutch by local designer Emily Rosendahl and I am smitten. Emily personally hand crafts all her leather items and her final product is beautiful! Check out her webiste at http://www.erleathergoods.com.

I also have enjoyed the Avedon Fashion book, a gift I received from my mom this week. It is great "eye" candy and fun to display on a coffee table or book shelf.

Music Crush

Pipsqueak Style-Hair Flair

(PLH,  Crew Cuts head wear)

Last week we embarked on a trip to Seattle Washington our original home turf.

It was Layla's first plane ride and lucky for us my fears of experiencing the travails of a traveling infant did not materialize. In fact, it was quite the opposite, Layla's smiling face seemed to elicit lots of attention especially from the female crowd. Unfortunately most mistaken her for a little boy.

The remedy? frivolous head accessories of course! Here are a few of my favorites!

On Display

My mother-in-law sent me the glass jewelry box pictured above. I fell in love the idea of displaying my favorite pieces. The second picture c/o Macyray is a project I am eager to attempt. I recently bought the perfect vintage frames for this undertaking at the Pasadena Rosebowl. Stay tuned for my first DIY hanging displays.

Baby Love

Here is Miss Layla Faye Buse. Our family is  now complete and we are head over heels in love with our little Gem!
