list no. 13 :: spring forward


Even with the subtle, (some would say warm), weather that is Winter here in Los Angeles, I'm grateful that Spring has sprung. Here's what I'm looking forward to:
  1. Salt water sandals. Beyond my beloved Birks, these have become my new favorites. Seriously cute, they look good dressed up or down.
  2. Pink lipstick. I'm obsessed with Laura Mercier's lip gloss lipsticks and the limited edition color, Rosette, is off the charts. A color that looks good on everyone, (no lie), I like this particular product because I don't like that lip gloss is often sticky and this lipstick gives my lips a bit of shine without looking juicy.
  3. Antelope Valley poppy preserve. At least I'm hoping...it's been so dry here this Winter...
  4. Picnics in the park. Ever since Miss A's smash hit birthday dinner party picnic, I've been building a small arsenal of sweet picnic items and plan to do a lot of eating outside, on the grass, this spring and summer. 
  5. Camping. Coachella is putting camping back on my map, (I camped a lot as a kid). And with a new tent, I'm scoping places to go, like Joshua Tree and Angel Island.
  6. Sparkly nail polish for my toes like this one.
  7. Pottery class. I'm signing up to use the wheel, stat.
  8. Flea markets. Ok, you can pretty much peruse flea markets and the like year round here, but I'm on a mission for key items, (picnic, containers, trunks and suitcases), and I'm putting away small bills, (ones and fives), in anticipation.
