Well. This past weekend marked my 26th birthday. Sharing my birthday with Friday the 13th brought its own delight and a little fright, as I'm now officially closer to 30 than I am 20. The day was made memorable by my husband who took the day off work to make sure I didn't fall into a geriatric coma.
We were supposed to head to the beach for day spent on a boat and filled with champagne toasts and sun, but this fickle LA "June Gloom" is still lingering around and so we altered our plans. Instead we toasted the afternoon away at a new french restaurant I've been dying to try called Faux Pas, and you can imagine my delight when I learned they had bottomless mimosa's in 6, yes you read right, SIX flavors. The Frisse salad was beyond. We explored the city a bit and finished the night off at the Grove to see the new Spiderman, which by the way was way too good. (Costuming, cinematography and an amazing aerial shot of about 50 black umbrellas in a downpour) made me want to refil my popcorn and head back in for a second showing.
This was my outfit for our evening plans. A movie always equals leggings and a jacket. Who wants to sit for 2+ hours in anything but? If your thinking jeans. . .I'm calling you out. . you're a nut. These David Lerner zip leggings are a recent purchase and they are a new fav in my closet, as well as this leather jacket which has the most perfect shoulder detailing, cut slightly in from the should line, and therefore making a fake-you-out shoulder pad. Also, there was this bike and street art that I felt deserved entry into this post, along with a mexican restaurant in the background that we will revisit due to it's Gluten Free Friendi-ness and it's red chairs.

I might also point out the obvious, that my hair color is no longer red. With advice from my agent, we decided this color would be better for my career. . .and so here we are. Goodbye RED!
