Sloane

With a bevy of other talented thirtysomething's, I recently contributed to the first issue of Sloane Magazine. If you, like us, started your magazine obsession flipping the pages of Sassy and Jane you will surely enjoy the return of this genre. Check it out here.

2e was up in Seattle last week and, the Lucky Duck, was just in time for the tulip festival. Doesn't it look like they go on forever?

Lighten & Brighten

I'm spending the weekend bringing spring into the store. Looking forward to surrounding myself with flowers....

Just in time for spring sprucing, these Trina Turk Medallion print floor cushions are marked down from $228 to just $57!

Garden Tour

Last Fridays garden tour was extremely inspiring. 2E does most of the gardening, okay all of the gardening, in our yard but after traipsing through the private outdoor spaces of these homes I think that things will have to change. I will claim a pot or two and dram about making it as spectacular as the one above. This pot was on a pedestal in the rose garden below;

Photography was prohibited so I wasn't able to take pictures of most of the grounds but I risked being scolded to steal a shot of this very alternative play structure...

Our last stop was to the Virginia Robinson Gardens in Beverly Hills where we had a delicious lunch under the tent, one two many peach fuzzies (mmm), and viewed some showcases from local event companies and florists.

Thank you to Heather for inviting me to play hookie for the day and toast to the good life. These gardens were full of eye candy and I felt unbelievable blessed.

Good {Healthy} Morning

Monday morning I started a cleanse and I already feel 100 times better. A winter of indulgence finally realized and my 31st birthday looming. Spring cleaning for the mind, body, and soul....


Spring has always been my favorite season but LA wears it really well. Everywhere I look I see climbing vines, bright, crisp color and waves of jasmine with the most incredible smell.


3 days down. 8 to go. Wish me luck!
