HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! 

My birthday dinner could not have been anymore perfect than it was. My best friend Kate had a handful of surprises up her sleeve, and it began the minute I walked into the restaurant. The whole table had been decorated by her fiance with pink boxes that contained cupcakes, bags of candy, and balloons! I was so shocked, I literally had to pause to take it all in as soon as I saw it. Her birthday gift to me was a Michael Kors watch I had been dreaming about for awhile, complete with engraving in the back. So touched. And finally, my birthday cake consisted of chocolate and peanut butter cupcakes, which she baked herself. Dessert also included an entire box of macarons, because she knows I'm obsessed. The whole evening was absolutely lovely, and I am so grateful to have her in my life. Looks like I gotta step it up for her birthday next year ;) xoxo

Every word you say I think I should write down...

June 4th, 1977

A beautiful cherubin baby was born...who eventually grew up to be an incredibly handsome and talented man...who eventually made me the happiest woman on the planet. 

We celebrated my babe's birthday with simplicity this year by going to our beloved Old Town Pasadena and basically just hanging out. 

Finally got a chance to see The Hangover II, which I have to admit-we were both extremely disappointed about. It was exactly the same as the first-to a T. Every single beat was the same, even the ending had no twist. But I have to say my adoration for Zach Galifianakis will never cease. He's wonderfully funny and brilliant. 

After that we did a little shopping, had cupcakes from my favorite DotsCupcakes, and chai lattes at Intelligentsia. It was a perfect afternoon, which ended with a super romantic dinner at our favorite Japanese restaurant Sushi of Naples. 

Happy Birthday Baby. I hope you had a wonderful day! Xo

You've got the love

It never ceases to amaze me how much fun I have with my theatre boos. Especially combined with the Fairfax Flea Market and Toast-done deal. That's where we trekked on Sunday-and I was on a mission. I have been on this mission for almost 3 years now. I needed to find the most perfect leopard coat I can find, that didn't cost me an arm and a leg. I must say though, people who work at the Flea Market have become major a-holes. They're rude, and price things way too high thinking they'll get you. But oooh no, sir-I will not be shelling out $200 for your FAUX fur jacket, even if it is stunning. I did end up finding this beautiful Aztec-looking necklace, which I immediately put on because I decided it looked good with my outfit. Didn't see anything else, so we left and had brunch...actually more like linner at that point. Toast is one of my faves. It's a little cheesy with all of the actors/casting directors/agents/etc...who eat there, but their food is amazing. Richie had the brilliant idea to want cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery afterward, so we walked the two blocks over there, and in this little shop called Polkadots & Moonbeams-I FOUND MY LEOPARD COAT! In my price range, and perfect as can be. Like Kristina says, "It's like the Fashion Gods (in my head, it's Coco Chanel) shined a light" and there it was waiting for me! I immediately put it on, and haven't taken it off since. Well, you know what I mean...I wore it for the rest of the day, until I went to bed. Haha! I cannot wait to pair it with lots of things this season. All in all, a very good day indeed.
