Nautical Outfit of the Week

It is a rainy week in Los Angeles so this week's photo is perfect! Here is Ryan (son of Amanda, aka Pink Polkadotaa) in his nautical rain gear. I just love his anchor rain jacket!

VIVA Las Vegas!

I am FINALLY uploading my photos from various Vegas trips I have taken since November.

Right after Thanksgiving I went to see Stevie Wonder. AMAZING concert. One of the best I have ever seen.




Right before New Year's I saw the Black Eyed Peas. Another great concert. No photos from that one but so fun!

Not sure why I liked this lamp so much!


This couch didn't photograph well but it was so pretty!
