Steven Alan Outpost

Today, on my way to Alcove, I stopped into the Steven Alan Outpost. I had passed it for the first time a few days before, and was shocked and probably a little too excited, but it was closed at the time. Not so today.

I walked into the above scene, the awesomeness of which was magnified by the hilarious and charming two guys working there. I tried on basically everything in the tiny store that was in my size (I mean...it's a store. Where every piece by Steven Alan is on sale.), and finally settled upon this:

They are having a sample sale June 4th to 7th, so if you live near to Los Feliz or will happen to be in the area, I highly recommend. Say hi to the guys.

Everybody's working for the weekend

It's been quite a weekend already.
First Haley had her first party at her apartment....



Then Son Ark played a show (sans G string on Robin's guitar...nice save) at Crane's Tavern in Hollywood....



Tonight is a homemade peach cobbler birthday party. Enough said, I'd imagine.
Hope you're having a great memorial day weekend.

Marais

When I first saw these lovely girls' website, which, quite like us, utilizes the music video advertisement technique to their highest advantage, I knew I had found a collection of kindred spirits. Their webstore remained dormant for months, though- tormenting many an online shopper, I have no doubt. They're finally open for business in cyberspace as of this morning. LOVE the video (and anything set to my love, Jens), love the tone, and clearly I love the shoes.

A Triumph Indeed

Leaving brunch yesterday, Haley, Chris and I came across this beauty. Talk about DIY. Note the glass doorknob....gearshift? Eh, I don't know anything about vintage motorcycles; shock of the century. Pretty cool, though.

Chop Chop

I think if our Riverside Woodman had a ladyfriend, she would either buy him one of these or keep them all for herself....

Bagel Success!

I did it! As you may recall, I had been dying to try out Liz of Say YES! to Hoboken's boiled-then-baked New York-style bagels.

I am living proof that it truly doesn't take much baking prowess to make a darn good bagel from scratch! All you need is a Kitchen Aid mixer, some yeast and flour, toppings of your choosing, and a fantastic recipe. The rest is gravy. So I had a little brunch in the backyard. A little Cornhole, a little homemade bagel; throw in some mimosas and cherries and I just don't see what else you need in life.

Neon LOVE!
