Into: The Present

Kathleen Whitaker small dot earring (sold individually for mixing and matching or on its own)

Beatrice Valenzuela botin bootie in navy

vintage St. Edmonds sweater (love the label!) from The Lower Lodge


A week ago we went to a really cool (literally and figuratively!) event called Deck the Halls, hosted by our friends Kenny and Chris of the Ojai Rancho Inn. Each little room was filled with delights from designers and crafts people, mostly from southern California but some from Northern as well. Here are a few of our picks and things that would make for special presents...an earring from Kathleen Whitaker, a bootie from Beatrice Valenzuela, and a one-of-a-kind vintage sweater from the Lower Lodge.
Music from Little Wings (Kyle Field) ended the day on a high note - Sorry pun intended :)

French Dressing: Laurence Doligé Trousers

There's something very '80s French style about these Laurence Doligé "Daddy" trousers. Can imagine one of the people in Mark Steinmetz' photos of Paris in 1985 wearing something like this...(white canvas sneakers optional).

Into: Mark Steinmetz' Paris in my time

Really looking forward to receiving this photo-book from La Garçonne soon. The pictures were taken between 1985-2011. More about it here.
