Sister sister.

So Jess has been visiting for the last week...and needless to say we have traversed Los Angeles, hung out in Berkeley and at Treasure Island, been on multiple adventures in Hollywood, gone thrift shopping, eating, eating and more eating...we fit in so much in a relatively short amount of time. One of my favorite things we did was on Sunday. This is one of my ideal days, consisting of...

1. Bay Cities Deli's "Godmother" sub. And oh my God, it is a mother.

2. The Getty - specifically, I really enjoyed the Irving Penn special exhibit they have on display right now. This is the first time all of his 252 photographs of his "Small Trades" Collection have been together in a single exhibit. It was just a cool reminder of just how many professions do exist, and kind of takes you back to a different era when different jobs existed. I felt like a kid sort of, when you have the most wild ideas (vs. when you get to college and decide to be "practical") about what you want to be when you grow up. For example, I wanted to be a firefighter for the longest time. At least five years. Here is of my faves...old school scuba:
Other faves I couldn't find pictures of online were the "cheese man," a smiling man from Paris with a "fromage" tub as well as the "female dancer" (NAOMI, she had tassels) and "female acrobat" (who was still smiling in a leotard at at least age 55).

But anyway, this combination of activities, combined with a Hotel Cafe Greg Laswell show FOLLOWED by finally seeing Where the Wild Things Are, made for a fabulous Sunday.
Doesn't her hair look amazing there? Pretty long locks.
Such beautiful gardens at the Getty, Jess took some amazing macro flower pictures that I can't wait to get my hands on. Much better than my pathetic iPhone pics. I'm so lazy, I should just carry my camera.

I'll have to get more pictures of my adventures with the clone and post a few later. Now back to real life/work.

Happy Birthday Jess!

My desk.

I can't believe Jess and I are 22, how time flies (but I'm still 16 minutes older). In honor of this...how about some silly photos.
This one's OLD :)

Also, check out this video! Cracking up at my desk just now.

In love with...a dress.

*sigh*

I always love Kate Walsh and her red-haired sexiness...but she has topped herself this time.
I am obsessed with this dress. I don't do the daydreamy imagining-and-planning-my-wedding-10-years-in-advance thing...but I would without a doubt wear an off-white/ivory version of this dress at my wedding. I love Grecian inspired dresses, and this fabric just hangs beautifully. I am smitten with this dress. And I can't find a picture of the back of it yet, but when I do...

Update: more dress pics (but no full picture of the back yet, alas.)

I also came across this beautiful dress on none other than Whitney Port. Don't love the hair at all, new hair stylist needed, but this dress simply radiates elegance.
Now, if only I had a reason to dress to the nines. A girl can dream.

Let's talk hair.

I think this redhead's bangs are just awesome! The question is, could I ever pull if off? I mean, bangs are a statement anyway, and when your head is aflame as well...
Thoughts?
