I recently collaborated with Dior and Refinery 29 for their 'Lipstick Diaries' series and had such a great time! We bopped around LA to some of my favorite spots and as I wrote in the article, it made me fall in love with Los Angeles all over again.

Hope you all enjoy (it's been forevz since I've had anything outfit posty up)! Thank you Dior, Refinery and Michael Flores for including me. xx

p.s. for more of the series check out the other girls - Louise Roe, Kelly Framel and Aimee Song!

fresh flowers

Beautiful and fragrant, there really is nothing like having fresh flowers at home. They simply make everything better, don't they? I think I'll pick up a few bundles on my way home.

For more inspiration check out these 30 floral arrangement ideas and/or this six-step guide to beautiful bouquets. So so good.

h&m spring

Dude, that red safety pin Balmain inspired blazer is $24.95! Heading to H&M now. BRB.

More from their spring 2011 magazine here.

Update: the red blazer doesn't actually come with the safety pins - they customized it for the shoot. I'm definitely feeling a DIY on this one, whooo's down?

book shelf styling inspiration

I'm all for technology but I reallllly hope everyone continues buying books, records, DVD's, etc. There's nothing like scoping out people's shelves for insight.

For more shelf styling inspiration check out this how-to-bookshelf-tutorial.

p.s. I read Tina Fey's 'Bossypants' Sunday. It's funny. Definitely recommend for a 5+ hour flight. And on that note, what book should I dive into next?
