Tiramisu Pancakes


Ok so I've been obsessed with trying to make these Tiramisu Pancakes that I saw on Pinterest (first made on the amazing Ivory Hut blog). If you want to make it the real way, make sure to check out her blog - her pictures are outstanding and put mine to shame, but there are so many great recipes to be inspired by. Read More

The Cute Palm Springs


Thanks to Coachella weekend (and Lamb & Flag for sending me!) - I had the opportunity to really explore the "Cute" Palm Springs (with the lovely Aimee of Swellmayde of course)! I say the "Cute" Palm Springs only because I've been here a handful of times before this trip and never really got to explore the finer details this palmy desert has to offer. You all know my obsession with mid-century modern furniture, design, and style. I honestly feel like I'm living in the 21st century but with the soul of someone living in the 40's or 60's (if you get what I mean). Read More

Summer Style


Say what you will about the GAP (they've gone through a lot of styles over the years) - but I can always count on them for my basics and their recent ads collaborating with the stylists from Who What Wear, Rue, & Lookbook.nu have given me some great ideas for classic Summer Style. Read More

Family Portrait


I posted this last week on the @sunnysideofgray Instagram - out first official Family Portrait! (Well sort of) :) I had been getting an influx of images on my Instagram feed about Coachella so the hubby suggested we celebrate Couchella! "Genius!" I say, "Just Genius!" - so we thought it would be funny to just take a couple of impromptu shots with the pups and it became our very own Family Portrait, Couchella, Puppy Festival (the best festival there is). Here are some of the outtakes before we got to the final one up above! Read More

The Venice Canals


More weekend adventures with the hubby, and this time, we finally got the chance to check out the Venice Canals. I've really only seen it in the movies and it's even more amazing in person - I urge anyone visiting LA to go and see them. It's like a mini Italian hideaway tucked away next to the mid-century modern style of Venice Beach! The houses and gardens were amazing, so perfectly unique and quaint, it's no wonder these are million dollar homes. It was a Sunny Sunday so we couldn't have asked for better weather and sunlight.
