after a tremendously busy 2013 in the world of interior design (4 home installs in two months!), my schedule is finally starting to slow down a teeny tiny bit. wheew!

hopefully, this means i can get back into blogging on a regular basis. i miss dishing out a little WHORANGE with you all throughout the week!

in the meantime, i will just enjoy the view as i come up for air.

have a dreamy weekend, darlings!

growing up in los angeles, summers always looked like a '70s album cover -- only with a thick layer of smog.

nonetheless, when it starts heating up in land-locked hollywood, it's impossible to not want to lace up your roller skates and do a little california dreaming down the venice strip or cruise along PCH in a convertible blasting your high school make out song.

of course, if you don't have time for any of this, there is always pinterest. that's where i found these images.

now, pour me a cocktail and surf some pinterest boards.

i'll meet you on the green balcony. cellophane bikini optional.

nothing a set of hot rollers and hairspray can't solve.

stay sparkley, my darlings.

...and indulge!

from multi-colored blinds to an orange oasis in the middle of a parking lot, it's beginning to look a lot like springtime, darlings.

... i've lived my entire life in california and i am a terrible surfer.

i believe that makes me totally uncool in a totally unironic kinda way.

what would we do without them?

these are a few of my favorite things.

actually, no, they're pretty much my favorite things.
