A Lesson In Batik from Maiyet

A Batik look made in Indonesia from the Maiyet Spring 2013 Ready-To-Wear Collection.

Being in Singapore puts me just a hop, skip and a jump from regions throughout South East Asia.  This includes Indonesia, which I could literally visit in under an hour (at least one of its Islands!).  I mention this, because design label Maiyet, works with artisans there. You may remember my introduction to Maiyet when… [Read More...]

Singapore First Looks: Palawan Beach

Palawan Beach 4

We made it to Singapore!  It was quite the trip traveling from Atlanta first to LA for a few days and then onto Singapore (via Tokyo).  I mean that sounds crazy without including the fact that we did it all with a four month-old! So now that I am living in this tropical location what’s… [Read More...]

Moving On…

Suitcase Baby

SO — once again I have been sitting on some big news. But before I let the cat out of the bag, I wanted to recap the insanity that was 2012 in my world:  Moved from LA to Chicago, Found out I was pregnant, had the baby, then moved to Atlanta. Nuts, right?!  And that… [Read More...]

Goodbye Atlanta

popup

I am running around finishing off packing and last minute errands before heading back to Chicago this afternoon.  It was a nice little escape to Atlanta (although, I must admit, due to canceled flights and illness, not the trip I had anticipated!). One of my best friends is always commenting on how green Atlanta is… [Read More...]

So today is the day of the big move!  Alas, I have officially lost it, so the lovely Melissa of The Key To Chic is here on NoH as my guest.  As a fellow LA blogger I asked Melissa to share some photos from her favorite places in LA— kind of a farewell to the… [Read More...]

Pan Am Glam

Yesterday’s post, which took a look at the Chanel Spring 2012 Couture Collection, got me thinking about Pan Am Flight Attendants.  I don’t know if you’ve watched the show or if you are familiar with the airline and the mystique surrounding it, but it was truly considered the most glamorous career. Nelle (who is one… [Read More...]

Last Shots

It happened.  Despite my best efforts to prevent it, my vacation has come to an end.  This afternoon I will be hoping on a plane back to Los Angeles. This trip has been so much fun- super easy and just perfect for celebrating Lukus’ birthday.  As I looked back at some of the photos I… [Read More...]

A Visit To The Georgia Aquarium

Aquarium 9

Yesterday we spent a few hours at the Georgia Aquarium.  This fantastic aquarium is the largest in the world and is a leader of aquatic animal conservation. The place is awe inducing— truly.  It is easy to forget how much life is actually housed in waters- both salt and fresh water.  I took about 200… [Read More...]

Adventures At The Alligator Farm

While you read this I am probably driving up to Atlanta to spend time with my family.  Yes, my time in Florida was short, but it was fun! Yesterday we took a drive down to St. Augustine (which claims the title “oldest city in the US”) and decided to visit the Alligator Farm. Wait- don’t… [Read More...]

Sunrise Over The Beach

Sunrise

Just wanted to share another quick photo from my vacation!  Today’s is my last day on Amelia Island, so I took advantage of the day and got up with the sunrise.  In LA we get plenty of beautiful sunsets over the ocean, so it was extra special to watch the sunrise on the opposite side… [Read More...]
