I still can not believe how fast the weekend came and went. Sorry for the blurry photos, but I was busy celebrating my BF's birthday (Happy Birthday Friend!), and after one drink i had problems operating my camera..serious light weight. Her boyfriend bought some delicious strawberries and I made her two Persian love cakes...sooo delicious. I adapted the recipe by adding more cardamom to the cake batter and a bit of vanilla bean, double the amount of rose water and saffron to the whipped cream. And if you ever make this cake, which i highly recommend do not butter the pans, but do use the parchment paper as the recipe suggests.
* Thank you Tina for frosting the cakes!

On another note:

I am still bummed Ryan Gosling was completely snubbed by the Oscars and Michelle Williams did not win her well deserved Oscar for their performances in Blue Valentine. 

Nice.

Pompon

I can not tell you how much I am enjoying Claire's new Bloggers + Cats feature. Pompon is the latest kitty featured and he is over the top adorable! He is so sweet and he loves kisses! Learn more about him on Lola is Beauty.

I love these new bags from ClareVivier's line. The Bando bag in Tomato and the very stylish Black Pebble Laptop Clutch.

Here comes the sun

Some pieces came out of hibernation and back into my closet. I spent the afternoon switching out my wardrobe and getting rid of things i have not worn.

Evidence that spring is around the corner!

le camping

I am ready for spring, despite the cold wind and rain this week all i can think about is springtime activities. Number one on the list is camping at Bodega Bay. My countdown for the spring equinox has commenced!

Drool...

Yes. I am still drooling over the Suno Fall 2011 collection. I found these detail images on vogue.com...i had to share. The sequined starburts on the black dress are amazing and the print on those shoes!

Thrifted

I was so thrilled when I found this vintage kokeshi doll and ceramic vase. My aunt collects kokeshi dolls so I am sending it to her. It is an unusual kokeshi, because it has arms. I still can not believe I bought it for a few dollars.

We had a lovely Valentine's Day. We went on a walk and ate lots of sugary hearts. Olive had a sugar high then a sugar low, and she fell asleep with one of her balloons in hand.

I have to give her photo credit for the first photo. She was really proud of it.
