justin be-bear.

last week, miss katie was laid up in hospital.

angel popped in for a visit and brought what might

very well be THE get well soon present to end all

get well soon presents.

a five foot tall teddy bear dressed like justin bieber.

amazing. i know. angel wins.

kate + ginny.

loving this month's spread in marie claire.

ginnifer goodwin. the face. the hair.

i die.

ps. did you see something borrowed? thoughts?

nickel diner. nay-nay. kissing.

'member my newly lawyer-fied friend renee? sometimes i think of her as nay-nay. i don't call her that to her face. i'm kinda scared to. don't know why. just am. awkward like that, i guess.

anyway, my nay-nay took me to nickel diner in downtown LA last week. i had some killer mac and cheese. nay-nay had a delicious beef stew concoction over mashed potatoes. i snuck a bite...or two.

our waiter was the raddest, tatted up, "i'm too cool for you" kinda dude. by dessert time, we were all the best of friends. nobody can resist the hysterical laughter that generally occurs when renee and i are together. speaking of dessert, this place serves the most amazing red velvet cake i've ever had. EVER. no seriously people. this place is worth the trip for the dessert alone.

oh also, they have old school sodas. in bottles. y'know, like bubble up and stuff. i picked kiss cause...well, i like kissing. and in the interest of full disclosure, blog friends, i hoped that drinking it would bring a little more of my favorite activity my way. it's been a bit of a dry spell. oy.

anyway. nickel diner. downtown LA. GO THERE.

love you. and kissing. and you.

renee ebony miller.

this is m'girl renee. she lives in LA, is a total foodie,

just passed the bar and is one of the funniest people i've ever met.

i love her so much i couldn't resist doing a post about her

i'm thinking about cutting my hair.

and by thinking i mean it's prob happening this week.

i want something with a little sass and i think this look fits the bill.

don't be freaked out by the doll head. it's just how we roll.

besides, a practice run is always a good idea.

so. what do you think? should i go for it?

lazy sunday.

here are some images from my latest photo shoot.

the photographer was going for a "lazy sunday" feel.

nothing fancy but i think they turned out nice.

good job, carmax.

photos aren't our strong point.

but when seth comes to town, we always have a good time.

the dinner conversation was...ridiculous.

we laughed harder than we had in ages and ate

the most delicious desserts ever!

always a good time when sethie's in town.

so fast so fast.

how crazy fast have the past few months gone by?

i been doing lots and lots of hair.

photo shoot galore, people. love love love it.
