happy friday everyone! i feel like i've been kind of MIA on the interweb this week. and i've also been really mysterious about what's going on, which i think must be so annoying! but i promise, details as soon as i can. in the meantime, check out these chairs and yummies! I II III IV and a few other things that i think you'll like...

an opportunity landed in my lap recently that's taking me outside my comfort zone, but i'm going along for the ride and hoping for a thrill! i promise i'll share more details with you soon, if i can. what do you do when those things come up in life that both terrify you and offer the promise of a great adventure? personally, i simultaneously panic and say yes. always, always yes. i'm reminded of that quote: "luck is what happens when opportunity and preparation meet" {may or may not be an actual quote from an actual person, google is failing me} so my dear friends, WISH ME LUCK! *photo by me for RUE Magazine, styling by the lovely Catherine

i'm getting all posey-poserson in this romper, i think this casual style calls for some fun! i love few pieces of clothing more than those that make me feel like i'm wearing pajamas all day (which, truth be told, i usually am....it's a side effect of working from home). and, please don't hate me, but i got these shoes for $50 marked down from $200...and they were the last pair & in my size...and i had been stalking them since the fall. i know, that was shameless bragging, but you have to understand that NEVER happens to me! i'm a pretty popular size in shoes and clothes, so usually i have difficulties finding anything in my size, never mind the last pair in a killer sale. so, for today, three cheers to me and my good luck! if you would like to try your own luck shopbop is offering a great sale right now! {enter the code BIGEVENT and get 20% off on anything in the store!} and anthropologie is having their semi-annual clearance sale too! my fingers, toes and eyes are all crossed for you} *i've decided to embrace the ridiculous post-naming...i hope it's agreeable.
romper: anthropologie (sold out online, in stores only), shoes: free people, bag: clare vivier, sunglasses: oliver peoples, watch: marc jacobs, bracelets: tory burch, forever 21, stella & dot lips: dior {blazing red}

hey friends! i'm sorry i was MIA on friday, we're in them middle of some exciting stuff that i can't wait to share with you when the time is right! in the meantime, posting may be a little sporadic while i do my best to hold onto my hat! here are a couple snaps from my instagram this past weekend. we had a picnic at the getty with our friends max and margaux and then wandered around the herb ritts show. it was amazing and inspiring, if you're here in LA you should check it out! * dress: joie, sandals: matt bernson sunnies:oliver peoples bag: clare vivier

one of our favorite things to do on the weekends is have picnics in our backyard- music, beers, good food, sunshine. it's the best way we relax. a few weeks ago we got a salad from lemonade that was so amazing that i had no choice but to recreate it and add it to our summer rotation. and in doing so i learned just how easy it is to make your own sundried tomatoes, and how insanely tasty they are compared to the store-bought kind. you must make this sald. must.
Wednesday, May 16, 2012 at 9:54AM today's email question made my heart hurt when i read it, so of course i'm going to give the best i advice i can for laura. and if you've been through something similar or want to throw in your two cents in the comment section, please do!

there was a split second when she feared that her nemesis the squirrel had seen her humiliation. *outtakes here, and they're kind of extra amazing this week

today's sit & nibble includes my favorite chairs, designed by warren platner. one day i will own a couple of these, even if i have to sell everything we have to do it! the recipe on the top right is for fried bananas and the bottom left is a salted coconut caramel brownies. both are vegan!

now, for some things around the interweb that inspired me this week:
how pretty is she and how cute are these photos?!
i can't stop thinking about this dress, as hard as i might try. tangerine and hot pink should get married.
i definitely had a few heart palpitations looking through these
i'll most definitely be trying this with my hair sometime soon, so sweet and pretty!
and this looks like healthy and tasty spring dinner that i'd like to try.
have a great weekend my friends, see you on monday!

aren't black radishes amazing? i owe this entire post to them, they beckoned me at whole foods the other day, begging to be made into something beautiful. the salad itself is only four ingredients but is so yummy you'd think it was more complicated. and that, my friends, is just how i like it: fancy in appearance, simple in execution. and above all, delicious. recipe after the jump.
