random things




while looking around the internet for inspiration, i came across stella mccartney talking about why she doesn't use leather in her clothing line.  click here and see what she has to say.
isn't she beautiful?!




this is me on my way to see
moonrise kingdom, which btw, was fantastic.
this silky tunic top was made by the webster miami for target.
it is on sale right now for $15.
it reminds me of the wallpaper at the beverly hills hotel.
so if you like wearing wallpaper, then go get one.







and i could not agree more with this...

“I wish I cold tell you it gets better, but it doesn’t get better. You get better.” — Joan Rivers


see you soon.

  5. Stella is a force in the fashion industry and isn't she beautiful? Her skin is a testament to her healthy lifestyle.
    I like that top even if you are wearing Beverly Hills wallpaper print :-))

    1. i got the feeling she was talking about the hardships in life, not so much her looks.
      but i could be wrong:)

  10. I saw Moonrise Kingdom on Friday - what a cute, feel-good movie! It received a standing ovation and deservedly so.

  12. Janet, thank you for posting the interview with Stella. Although uncomfortable and very sad to watch I learnt a lot from it and this will definitely impact what I purchase, clothing-wise, from now on. I like your lovely pink dress and hope you are having a great summer. By the way, I tracked down some Aveda products, thanks for mentioning them. Fifi x

  13. Stella is an inspiration, sticking to her Mum's vegetarian ethos and making non-leather a viable and desirable alternative.
    You are totally rocking those pink hot pants with the wallpaper print blouse, oversized bag and pretty sandals, your legs are fabulous and so are you. Good to have you back in Blogland, I've missed your posts and my daily dose of Californian sunshine! xxx

  18. You do make wallpaper look really fantastic! About Joan Rivers, you gotta love her even though you want to hate her. Did you watch her reality show?

    I'm doing a giveaway for a $50 gift card to Novica -- hardly anyone has entered so the odds are ever in your favor. Pop over!

  19. you always look like a million bucks! i love the shirt from target & your straw bag too. target has an adorable straw bag right now that i've had my eye on for a while. maybe your look with this outfit will give me the inspiration to go buy the bag.

  20. Moonrise Kingdom is on my list of things to enjoy for Saturday :)

    Joan is a wise chick-but I think experiences deepen the mind as well, not just age.

    Happy Fourth!

  23. Thank you for your recent posts on leather.
    I needed a reminder. And I love your blog.

  24. Hello Janet, I check in every day and am always cheered and inspired by your bloggy wordnessess. I have to admit to severe jealousy - or perhaps that should be envy, not so nasty - you have beautiful weather there!! We haven't had a sunny summer proper since 2006, and this year is really bad. When it's not raining it's overcast. I am still wearing some of my winter clothes, and there you are, looking babealiscious in SHORTS!! Not that I would bare MY legs in shorts...And look at your roses...and your garden...oh I think I'll just go away and eat a biscuit....
    Love you anyway!

  25. I am 'mostly' vegetarian. Eating meat has been a hard habit to break. After watching Stella McCartney's Peta video, I am through. I will never buy leather either. My purse is made from seat belts, doesn't look like it and I get many compliments on it. Thanks for the nudge I needed.
