COCO CHANEL PROJECT

This past week I had to do a project on someone inspirational, and of course I chose Coco Chanel! I chose Chanel because she is the epitome of fashion and I adore her as a woman and her brand. This is my head form that I had to make for my project...

ANTIQUING ADVENTURES: VIVA ECLECTICO

As you all know, Lucy and I are obsessed with anything and everything vintage as well as supporting small businesses. Well, it doesn't get smaller than this... Viva Eclectico is located in a tiny trailer at The Camp in Orange County. The inventory is constantly changing and consists of one of a kind vintage pieces. What we love most about this awesome place is the prices. We have gone to many thrift and antique stores and have never come across such reasonably priced quality items. Here are some pics from our visit the other day...

Lucy got the two blue suitcases on the desk.

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN CONCERT!

Last night we went to the Bruce Springsteen concert at the Los Angeles Sports Arena with our parents and family friends, Ben and Ellery Harper. It was hands down the best concert we've ever been to, and we have seen some pretty good concerts...
