Finding new colored walls is beginning to become one of my favorite things.  This particular purple beauty was smack in the middle of Hillcrest, just a few blocks down from the BEST brunch place, 100 Wines. Not only is it the cutest and hippest spot, but on Sunday mornings  you can order mimosas for $1!! And this girl loves her weekend mimosas, especially when they come with carafes of all different juices. I can’t wait for the weekend already.

Since we had just stopped at the Hillcrest Farmers Market and picked out these sweet peas, this wall seemed to go perfectly with my new little blooms. Although I’ve had this Free People dress for awhile, I always had trouble wearing it since it was see-through in certain lights (not a good thing). I realized I could pair it with my Free People slip, though, and the little bit of ruffle that showed at the bottom was just darling.

How often do you find a wall painted mint green?! While we were exploring Catalina, I fell in love with this little spot and knew that we just HAD to take some pictures here. I adore this Free People top that I got recently because it’s the perfect piece for warm spring/summery days . It’s so fun to wear, too! It definitely called out for a flower crown, and this particular little beauty is one of my favs.

I’m also slightly obsessed with this sign by The Printed Palette. It’s already found a place in my home (which there will be a post on soon). I just adore the graphic and meaning behind the print. It’s perfect for this flower child!

If you want to see more of The Printed Palette’s goodies, make sure to check out their website here. I am so happy to say that the product shots Ell & I did last weekend have made it to their online  shop!! My Makers Arcade post has also been featured on their blog. I am one happy camper. Head on over to see!

Who knew that an hour boat ride could take you away to such a gorgeous island paradise? After 23 years of living in Southern California, I finally made it over to little Catalina this weekend for my mom’s birthday celebration. We had so much fun exploring the quaint town and laying in the sunshine. Floating in the ocean with a mojito in hand sounds too good to be true (but it  definitely happened).

Elliot & I also had some fun working on some styled shots for a collab with The Printed Palette (see here for more about this lovely SD company). How fun are these shirts?! They were perfect for the beach and wandering around Catalina. I still can’t even pick a favorite! If you love fun graphics, make sure to head over to their website to see more of their lovely goods. More to come soon on a little home decor collab I did with them as well!

As you may be able to guess by now, North Park is one of my favorite spots in SD. We visit at least once a weekend (okay, more like three times). Nestled within the urban grunge are some of the coolest bars, boutiques and cafes. If you’re ever in the area, you must at least stop by Pigment (my favorite store ever), Hess Brewing, and Hammond’s Ice Cream. And those are only a few of my fav places! Ray Street, one of my newest finds, is a small alley chockfull of galleries. This mural was tucked behind one of them, so it called out for a few pics. And can I just say how much I love San Diego weather??

Nothing says spontaneous photoshoot like a great brick wall. Elliot & I spent Valentine’s Day wandering around Little Italy, stopping at the farmer’s market for fresh blooms and macarons. This part of town is one of my favorites, since it brings back memories of our study abroad days in Torino. Everyone who knows me knows I’m not the biggest fan of getting my picture taken, but who can resist such a cool backdrop?
