Wine, Pine, and Everything Fine

Over the Memorial Day long weekend I headed up to San Francisco and Napa Valley for a much needed getaway. I’ve been wanting to visit this area of California since I moved to L.A. almost 7 years ago, so it’s pretty ridiculous that it’s taken me this long to get up there! But as they say, better late than never. Plus, I couldn’t have been with better people to show me the ropes for my first trip, so it was all meant to be.

I ended up taking a bunch of pictures on my camera as well as some on my iphone, which turned out to be a bit of an organizational mess. I might eventually post some from my camera, but in the meantime here’s a few that I snapped on Instagram (Why didn’t I invent that thing?!):

The Adventure Begins…

Made In L.A.


THIS is opening over weekend and if you’re in LA. you should check it out!

Organized by the Hammer Museum, Made In L.A. will be the first Los Angeles Biennial. What does that mean? Works from 60 new and emerging L.A. artists, 3 locations, and a $100,000 prize!

Fun. Times.

(Also- if you go, you should check out the Made In L.A. SoundMap App)

Bed Love Part ?

I know. I’ve done quite a few Bed posts and perhaps they’re getting a bit redundant, but if you don’t appreciate a gorgeous bed…

well then, you need to check yourself.

More, more, more, and more!

Finally

It’s Here

And it’s Good.

Everlasting Light

I’ve listened to the Brothers album by The Black Keys about 1000 times, so it’s nice to keep it fresh with a little cover of one of my all time favorite songs…

Necking

I’ll admit I’m a little late on the House of Harlow train. While I’ve been admiring Miss Richie’s jewelry since it first came out a few years ago, I must confess I was a bit of a snob about the idea of buying a “celebrity line”.

Cut to now: I got over it because truth be told she’s a good designer and this necklace rocks.

Lastly, shout out to Cherry Pick Vintage for gifting me with the amazing gold horse shirt in the middle picture. It is out of control!

A nice understated bike that would never get stolen…

Hermes + Leica

I posted about this dreamy camera back in the fall, and now just stumbled upon a beautiful video of one being made. Well this one is a bit different. It’s the newest edition in the collaboration between Hermes and Leica: The MP-9

These two brands first teamed together in 2003 to create the MP “Edition Hermes” and then again in 2009 for the MP-7. This summer they will release the MP-9, which will be available in two different sets starting in June. The first set will be an edition of 300, come with one lens, and have a price tag of about $25000. The 2nd set (to be released shortly after in July), will come with three lenses, cost about $50000, and be made in a very limited edition of 100.
