– Proper and tattooed Victorian ladies in porcelain. (Laughing Squid)

– My favorite ongoing feature at Refinery 29 is the City Hall Weddings. I just love it. It’s always so sweet to just see the bride and groom on such a special day–and everyone’s fashion is so unique. (Refinery 29)

– I love me some Red Hot Chili Peppers and since I’ve always thought their drummer looks like Will Ferrell (or vice versa), this “long-awaited” drum-off between them is hilarious. (Funny or Die)

– Lately I’ve been liking the new algorithm or whatever is deciding who my Popular page on Instagram consists of. I’ve followed a bunch of new accounts lately based on some awesome curation. This company based in LA does beautiful leather goods. I kind of want this new Mod item–it’s like my dream wallet/notebook/life organizer thingy. (This Is Ground)

–  Bar carts are all the rage right now, but honestly, all I can think is having to dust and keep it organized. This cabinet version is such a cool alternative. (A Beautiful Mess)

 

-Cheers and Happy Weekend!

 

 

Lobsters, Winos, and Lemons

Over the weekend Santa Barbara and Goleta hosted separate but fun festivals. Down by the marina was the Santa Barbara Harbor and Seafood Festival while the following day at Girsh Park was the Lemon Festival (I took less pictures because I was slightly hungover.)

All in all, a very fun weekend with some old college friends and getting to explore some Santa Barbara events we never got to try as undergrads.

Some highlights…prepare for food envy.

The boys got to shoot from the water canon.

Live urchin. $6 but apparently this is cheap for fresh urchin (that was still moving!)

Our crab plate.

Lobsters chilling in the pool. I asked for the feistiest one. He came out swinging.

Worth the wait.

First time trying Danish Aebleskiver. Yum.

Digging into some lemon pie.
