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!

PL Travel: Painted Desert with Victoria

If you haven't heard of the Painted Desert, it is a sight worth seeing. This weekend, my friends and I decided to take a road trip out to Arizona to see all the beautiful landscapes. Along the way, we filmed a short film of the journey for memory :) (coming soon!).

For more info about The Painted Desert, it extends from the Grand Canyon in a southeasterly direction along the north side of the Little Colorado River to Holbrook. Over the course of 17,000,000 years, the desert has developed colors banded with vivid red, yellow, blue, white, and lavender. At times the air glows with a pink mist or purple haze of desert dust. It is a must-see to add to your bucket list. 

This road trip was more than worth it. Being able to share beautiful experiences in life with the people you love is a treasure that will always be remembered.

Escaping from all the buildings, cars and concrete of LA to enjoy open plains and fresh air was also a plus ;)

Plan a road trip with your family, friends or significant other! Be adventurous and appreciate the beautiful planet we live on. Nature is an incredible part of life that will always bring you peace of mind.

View of the Red Rocks forest on the way to the desert.

We made a stop on the side of the road to see the view of the horizon. It's nice to be surrounded by quiet open land and fresh air :)

Relaxing and enjoying the silence


Climbing over the hills was a tough workout, but was well worth it. 

My friend practicing his yoga and meditation. It was only the perfect location to do so :)





Strong winds coming in from the desert before the sunset. There was even lightning! 



The short film is soon to come! Knowing that the journey would be an amazing one, we wanted to capture the adventure to keep for memory. "Free Bird" living life to the fullest :) filmed by Matt Robertson
