Malibu-bu Part Two-two

While in Malibu we also camped at Malibu Creek State Park and went for some beautiful day hikes. I have tons of great pictures but unfortunately I just didn't have time to resize a bunch of them for my blog (it's pretty time consuming), but I thought I'd just post a couple from our longest day hike and a couple of us hanging out with our deer friends. :)

*those deers almost look like they are givingEskimokisses!*

Enjoy!

Malibu-bu Beach

Does anyone remember that TV show Mailbu Shores with Keri Russel? I mean I don't think it even lasted a full season before it got pulled off the air, but ever since my sisters and I saw those few episodes we can't just say "Malibu". Everytime we say the word it's "Malibu-bu". Anyway, a little while back the man and I spent the weekend in Malibu-bu and here's a couple pics from the beach. It was beautiful weather and overall a perfect way to spend the weekend with our toes in the sand.

Maybe someday Danny I'll find enough money to buy you that boat!

*I thought this was funny. After I uploaded the picture of Dan, I noticed you could totally see me taking the picture of him in his very reflective sunglasses.*

DIY (Faux) Fur Vest

Several posts back I ranted and raved over Chanel's 2010 Fall/Winter collection. I immediately became obsessed with the fur vibe and decided I needed to make a fur coat for myself. Well, seeing as I live in Southern California, it just never gets cold enough to need a full-on fur coat (just a little overkill), so instead I decided to make a vest.

While fur is a little bit of a challenge to work with, I'm pretty happy with how the vest turned out. Now the only thing is I have leftover faux fur and I'm trying to decide what to do with it. Maybe make a small fur capelet? A crazy shaggy handbag? I don't think anyone else I know would actually wear faux fur so I don't think I could make something for somebody else...Any suggestions?

p.s. - Since I've been making clothing without using patterns, I've decided I need an adjustable dress form. I spend too much time trying to pin fabric together and then try it on, when it would be WAY easier to drape the fabric over a dress form that has been adjusted to my measurements. Something else to add to the list of things I want to buy, but since I'm in "saving for a house" mode I don't think I'll get around to it any time soon.

Summer is Officially Over

Well it came and went just like that. I kept waiting for some kind of Indian Summer, but I'm not sure it's going to happen. Time to pack up the swimsuits (that hardly went to the beach this summer) and bring on the faux fur, booties, and perfectly tailored jackets. Bring it on Fall - I'm ready for you!

Love Love Luca Luca

Not a lot of words necessary here, I think the clothes speak for themselves. Luca Luca Spring 2011 = GORGEOUS. I would wear anything from that top row any day of the week.
