Rose Bowl with Jenny!



Call me crazy since I JUST finished Los Angeles Market but I decided to go to the Rose Bowl Flea Market this past Sunday with my darling friend and "design girl" Jessica Packard from With Love Design.  Her and I share a love for mid century modern, a similar design aesthetic and a great appreciation for the amazing ART of design.  Needless to say, she was the perfect partner in crime :).  Of course Gracey was there too, she's my permanent partner in crime these days and she was a perfect shopping angel.  

Jess and I found some treasures and enjoyed a super fun girls day in Pasadena.  If you've never been to the Rosebowl Flea Market it's a really fun way to spend a Sunday morning or afternoon.  The entrance price drops the later you get there, I can't decide whether you get better deals going later because vendors want to sell more, or if you miss out on extra special finds by not getting there early enough?  I'm still undecided so I will keep trying various times of going and let you all know. 

I scored an amazing EAT sign in my favorite chevron print that lights up and will soon adorn the top of my hutch with all my dishes…totally makes waking up at 5am worth it.  Found some great vintage jewelry you can find at Pink Lagoon and overall had an uber inspiring day.  

I get so many design ideas by frequenting this great market, find one of a kind treasures for my home and great vintage jewelry to put in the stores. It is always such a thrill!

Oh, I Design Nusery Make Over

Re-post from one of our favorite bloggers, Jessica Packard "Oh, I Design". Check out the before and afters of Gracey's new nursery! 
"There’s something about completing a room that makes my design-loving heart go pitter patter. It’s a great feeling of accomplishment. I recently had the pleasure of designing a nursery for a new friend in Del Mar, California. Jenny Livits is the Founder & CEO of a Wardrobe Design & Styling Boutique called Pink Lagoon.
Jenny was getting ready to have her second little one when she contacted me about getting some design help with her nursery/guest room and other areas of her home. She is a creative, talented and very motivated. Not only has become a business mentor to me but also a good friend. We could sit for hours chatting about how we believe great design can change the world.
Here are some before and after photos of her lovely nursery. Baby Gracey was born just a few weeks ago and they are really enjoying their new space together. "- Jessica

Inspiration: Art We Love






We stumbled upon Cate Parr's water color prints and absolutely fell in love. Her mixture of color and composition is brilliant, along with the women she paints. Subtle brush strokes effortlessly form the shape of a beautiful face, while surrounding areas make up an intricate vail, hat, garment or hair. It's amazing how creativity can create the most beautiful outcomes :)
