Not so secret garden.

H&M floppy hat, sundress from Target, vest from Kmart, Dolce Vita for Target wedges, vintage Vogue sunglasses, vintage Christian Dior bag taken from Mom, assorted jewelry from Beijing and Hawaii

We received free tickets to the Huntington Library and Gardens last week and decided to pay it a visit for old time's sake. It was a super-sunny day in Pasadena and we ended the night with margaritas in honor of Cinco de Mayo day : )
Antique jewelry
I loved this amazing jewelry, especially the peridot ring with a vine-like setting.

Being a tourist in my own city.

This was taken a few weeks ago during our "date night." The Hubby took me to a little French cafe (Cafe Beaujolais in Eagle Rock). I highly recommend this place, the prices are very reasonable and you really feel like you're at a Brasserie in Paris.

I love the French-ness of this sign. They mean "Tommy's Burgers," lol. Can't you imagine the French waiter saying this??

Free day at the Huntington Library & Gardens! This place always reminds me of another era or transports me back to Versaille.

Interesting bit of info: The day I came back from The Huntington, Urban Outfitters delivered their new catalog into my mailbox, and guess where the location was shot? Look for this cute little stone chair!
