fall has barely arrived and i'm already looking forward to the spring eye candy from all of the various fashion week's (this week paris! oh la la!). pictured above are pieces from oscar de la renta's spring 2009 line. j'adore.

jujube by melissa moss

this bright, happy jujube print sits prettily framed in my kitchen. melissa moss is one of the members of the ten women gallery, a coop of 22 local artists.

tanya aguiniga and la biz ladies meetup

tanya aguiniga makes furniture, accessories and installations deeply influenced by her mexican and american heritage. i had the pleasure of meeting her, along with the ladies billie and tootie of reform school as well as grace from design*sponge at the la biz ladies meetup.

i wouldn't mind spending more evenings meeting inspiring strong, independent ladies; lounging on eames chairs in the dwr store; eating boule pastries whilst sitting amongst 200+ independent design and artsy business ladies.
