I'm incredibly excited for the launch of Marni for H&M, aren't you? Well to top off all the excitement one of my favorite directors, Sofia Coppola, directed the new Marni for H&M commercial. The commercial was shot in Marrakesh, Morocco so you can only image the great shots. Basically it features: amazing clothing, an awesome location, and beautiful people. What more can we ask for? No, but in all seriousness Marni for H&M hits stores on March 3rd so save the date!!

Succulent Decor

As my love for succulent plants has grown, I have enjoyed discovering new ways of planting and decorating them. I gave myself the task of trying it on my own when I came across a cute little boutique called Pigment. Basically, it is the boutique I hope to one day own but that’s besides the point. They sell artwork, furniture, plants, accessories, gifts and so much more with their focus on organic modern (which I ♥). I had just purchased three small succulent plants at the farmers market that morning and when I came across Eco Orbs at Pigment I was ecstatic. Well, let me tell you it was no easy task especially with my impatient personality but all in all it was fun! I want to share one of the orbs I did only because I’am not too happy with the other one I made & will probably be re-doing it. Oh, and if you try this at home don’t make the mistake of doing this inside like me, make sure you do it outside.

Salmon Benedict

I love discovering restaurants with amazing food, which is why I have a very long list of restaurants from all over the world that I hope to visit some day. Well, on Sunday I got to cross out one of the many from my list. My good friend and I had an amazing brunch at Urban Solace  in San Diego. Needless to say the food was delicious!
