Secrets Don't Make Friends


Gorgeous white flowers at the Erin Fetherston showroom. 

I popped into Manhattan on Wednesday for a leisurely play day. Eating and perusing my way through the West Village on a sunny afternoon (hello, bare arms + legs!) was the perfect mid-week treat. It turns out I won't be having to make this four hour bus ride to get my city fix for that much longer as we recently found out that we will be moving to New York City this summer after my husband graduatesAs much as we miss our families and friends back home in Northern California I wasn't quite ready to move back to the west coast. The city will be an exciting change / move for us, one that I'm very much looking forward to sharing with you!


Vince Dress (similar).  gifted Brahmin Bag.  gifted Tory Burch Necklace.


I'm constantly looking for cutesy stationary and goodies to send to my little sister (who I miss terribly back in San Francisco) and was excited to find these adorably quirky note cards and vintage inspired coasters at Greenwich Letterpress. I also picked up a few notebooks and this sweet heart ribbon for myself.

Friday Find: ILIA Tinted Lip Conditioners (first seen here) $24 each. 

These natural and organic lip conditioners are my latest lip obsession. They offer the soothing chap-stick like quality I look for but with a hint of color. Nobody's Baby is my personal favorite as it's the perfect sheer nude. Plus these beauties get bonus points in my book for their sleek silver tubes.

yay for your move to the city this summer! How long do you think you'll be there? And are you ever moving back to California? I guess it won't matter too much to me, since I doubt we will, but it would increase my chances of seeing you when we visit :)

Organic lip conditioners for only $24 are dirt cheap. The shades look awesome and eclectic. And oh! Those white roses look so pure and perfect. I literally fell for the tan leather short dress. Simply mind blowing! The heart ribbons are damn cute and are nice for wrapping Christmas gifts.
