Hello darlings! Happy Tuesday. This past weekend we were lucky enough to have our third bestie, Melissa, in LA for werk and it was perfect, cause she got to stay at my crib in Santa Monica, and the three of us spent hours doing what we do best: being scrubs on the couch just catching up, celebrating her birthday out at a freaking delicious restaurant in LA, and honestly, just being in each other’s presence. Which, when you live on opposite sides of the country, totally becomes enough, amiright?
PS, I will say the only drawback to having these two at our crib is having to let them borrow your only apartment gate key:
Here are some scenes from our time together!
On Friday night we celebrated Melissa’s birthday at Scopa in Venice. TUH DIE FUAH.
Have I mentioned how much I love this camera? Best gift ever.
The birthday princess, which is what I called Melissa the whole time she was in LA
Speaking of to die for: The Fluffernutter: A fried marshmallow filled with marshmallow, peanut butter and bananas. YOU GUYS.
Post Fluffernutter slobfest… whoops
The next day we got up for a 10 mile hike, followed by a brisk swim in the ocean.
Just kidding, we woke up and went to brunch.
We ended up at Hinterland in Santa Monica, which is awesome…
…And not just cause they’ve got Karrie & Tim’s EXACT bedroom sconces
The drinks and food are yummy…
Including this spanish omelet. We highly rec this place.
After brunch, on our way to dropping Melissa off at the airport, we stopped by Covet Living Casa to show her the updated place (ignore the gross exterior… that’ll be Phase 2):
And AFTER we dropped her off, Steph and I came back to the Casa to get to work and pick out the paint for the walls:
Annnnnd we have a winner, folks!
This is is the living room color we went with. HOLLAR!
Afterwards we met up with our girl Michelle and checked out Karrie’s new back yard (give or take a mile and a half): the beach in Playa del Rey. Not too shabby.
Then it was home to these two… We’re not sure if they’re brothers or boyfriends, but we’re PRETTY sure Kilroy (left) takes full advantage of being left home alone with GusGus (right). #doggylube
And well, we ended the night with THIS. Masks, ice cream, sweatpants, and probably a movie on the TV that Steph fell asleep to within two minutes of watching. And that’s how we do.
Have a great Tuesday, friends!
xoxo,
LOVE! All of it!!!
Steph-a-noots: Love the dove grey. Such a nice departure from the popular cappuccino in recent years. Your pal’s birthday dessert should have “Whoa!” as part of its menu description. And great bag (three slides from end). Is that canvas or leatha? Love, love…
you guys are the absolute cutest
