may, be kind.

Greetings. It's Monday again (boo) but it's rainy and windy in Los Angeles (yay)! I wish we treated rain days like snow days, they are so rare in LA. We should be able to stay home, read and cuddle all day long, is that too much to ask for?

We went to an Adam Green (The Moldy Peaches) + Binki Shapiro (Little Joy) show last week at The Echo. Alexia drove up to go to the show with Gustavo and I. We danced in the golden hour and ate tacos at good ol' Taco's Delta. YUM! I could probably eat tacos for the rest of my life, forever. 

Check out how cute Alexia is dancing around in the Silver Lake sun.

monday, monday.

Happy Monday to you!

Here's a little Ets-piration! (has anyone invented this word yet?) I defintley spent some time swooning and drooling over tons of Etsy treasures this weekend. I bought my momma a mother's day card, make sure you guys don't forget about your mommas, it's coming up!

I was so inspired by all the amazing Etsy shops I stumpled upon, I should start doing an Etsy post every week. Hmm. I may or may not have purchased the shoes below (defintley did)!!

+Vintage Shoes - Darling Vintage  +Dress - Supayana 

+Foxes Dress! - IsabelKnowles  +Peter Pan Collar Dress - xMOTHERx

Make sure to check out all the shops above! Some are handmade with love others are handed down with love, either way there's a whole lot of vintage love happening here and I like it! Hope you all have a great week!

Oh, concert season I love you. You force me to buy band t-shirts and make me broke, but I love you. I have this thing, where I have to buy a t-shirt from every concert I go to (unless they're overpriced, like over $25 is too much). I really only wear them to bed, but I just have to have a t-shirt, I can't help it. 

Last week my friends and I saw The Postal Service (eek!) and Sigur Ros in the same week, both amazzing. We saw Sigur Ros in Santa Barbara on Friday night, it was one of the most amazing experiences, the shirts were $35 so I'm still a little sad about that.

We made our way up to Solvang on Saturday morning to eat lunch and start a wine tasting adventure in Los Olivos! It was my friend Cami's birthday (she's the cute one, with the awesome backpack bag below) so we wine tasted until we were dancing with strangers and lighting sparklers in the night. 

lol at these cool kids

rosarito, mexico - part one

Vacations are a dream and last weekend was a cold and rainy beach house dream. My boyfriend and I drove down to Mexico with his mom to visit a beach house in Rosarito they just bought! We only stayed for two days but it felt like a nice long week, filled with beach exploring, day napping and really good food.

Oh Mexico, you treated us well and we will be back soon.
