Desert Diaries- Twentynine Palms

Nothing seems to capture my attention, entertain my imagination and bring me more excitement than the wonders of nature. Many seem to look past the dry landscape, but I can't help to notice every beautiful thing. There's something special about the desert. I feel at home.

REVIEW|| LA Events- Ticket to the Twenties

We've attended this event nearly every year and think its the bees knees!

Hello November! Are you ready for it? It's the month for class and intellect. Check out the latest spotlighted events happening this November.

Top 5 Autumn Goals

It's here! It's here! Autumn has finally showed it face.

Autumn is synonymous with nature, fuzzy sweaters and pumpkin! This year I've decided to make the most of this season. Clearly setting out what I want to accomplish!

 

This neat poster is for sale here.

Clothes v. Vera

I knew when I took on the "10 item wardrobe" challenge it would be difficult...

Event Bulletin: OCTOBER

I can't believe October is already here! What fun things are in store for this month? Lets get the ball rolling!

It's time for the September installment of the "Events Bulletin" series. What's going this month? Let's find out!

TCM Film Festival 2016

We highly anticipate the TCM Classic Film Festival held each year in Hollywood! This years theme was MOVING PITCURES...

STYLE INSPO - Gidget

Carefree, colorful and adventurous- Sally Field in the 1960's TV show Gidget has made most of us, if not all, dream of being a 60's surfer chick. Lets take a look and see what Gidget always keeps in her closet!

EVENT BULLETIN- AUGUST

Just because summer is nearing its end doesn't mean that the events bulletin is too! Here are some cool things to do this August.

It's that time again! The event bulletin is here! Here are two features for the month of June!

5 Things You Didn't Know About The Sound of Music

The sound of music, where do we start? A favorite of many, with practically a cult following, the Sound of Music manages to tell an entertaining story in a dark period in history.

Today, I will be sharing some little-known tidbits about the famous Alpine sing-along. (Unless you are a hard-core SOM fan, you probably know these already)

Road Trip in Pictures||CA to AZ

on the road...

This past March, we made our first ever trip to the Grand Canyon. Road trip! Road trip! Along the way, I reminisced about Route 66 and what it would be like to do this in the golden age of "road tripping". I tried to snap some shots of vintage signage and any roadside motels along the way.

Vintage Must-Have: Breton Stripes

by the sea...

Warm weather is here and what better way to enjoy that than running around in a striped top and capris? Often taken for granted, let's look closer at the Breton Striped shirt and where it came from.

EVENTS Bulletin:: MAY 2016

May is approaching and so are some GREAT events!

10 Item Wardrobe Pt. 2 (Phase 1)

Pt. 2 is finally here!

It has begun! I've completed my clothing clean-out. This is where the hard part comes in, actually figuring out what I want my capsule wardrobe to be. I have my inspirations. Now I need to find items that fit this new wardrobe.

After the purge, I pulled out my favorite pieces that I currently own.

It's funny how you don't realize what you have until you get rid of things. Turns out I have more clothing that fits my new aesthetic than I thought.

EVENTS BULLETIN:: APRIL-MAY 2016

Hello lovelies!

Just wanted to feature some cool vintage events here in Southern California.

A.)

If you're the type that enjoys dressing up and loves Disney nostalgia than Dapper Day might be a fun event for you! I have never been but it seems like fun! It's coming up soon on Sunday May 1st 2016 in Anaheim, CA.

10 Item Wardrobe- Pt 1

simplicity is best...

Lately this seems to be my catch phrase. Where clothing is concerned, I can't think of a better policy. Most of us have been in the same boat, having a closet full of clothes and yet we're still saying that tired phrase, "I have nothing to wear."

JUNE'S Go To Items

Welcome to the first post of the "Go To" series!

Every month it seems that there are items we gravitate toward- like the shoes you throw on with every outfit and the lipstick that's constantly in your bag. Last month these four things were my go to items!

INSTAGRAM DISCOVERY- Five Star Soda

When it comes to soda packaging, the aluminum can and plastic bottle are what we have become accustomed to. The glass bottle, however, is best for handcrafted soda, without plastic or aluminum to jeopardize the integrity of the flavor. The right amount of fizz and unique label graphics makes bottled soda not just a novelty, but a timeless classic.

Over at Five Star Soda, each soda is rated using a five star scale, complete with notes on flavor, aroma and overall taste. These well-written reviews include soda pop classics and handcrafted originals. Discovering new sodas to enjoy and reading the creatively written reviews makes Five Star Soda my favorite Instagram discovery so far!

Stay thirsty my friends!
Sincerely, Vera
