{w} friend: jackie

This is my good close friend Jackie. I just visited her in San Diego and had a great time having dinner and playing with her film camera around the home. She is a beautiful mother of one cute little girl and is the nicest friendly person I know! We both love anything creative with photography and designs. I love her!

Her favorite flower is Sunflowers and she says, "I dont have an absolute favorite flower, but my manly husband does, in case you were wondering, it's the California Poppy. But if i had to pick one, I do absolutely love Sunflowers. and why? well, they can grow in the wild, they are gorgeous, and a huge field of sunflowers is just so alluring."

"Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent"

I love music! Its the best thing in the world! I grew up dancing with music my whole life and it means so much to me! Here are some random songs that I've been listening to lately. . .

1. There is always a new day no matter what! Joshua Radin: A brand new day! (He'll be in California in November!) I also like the song 'paperweight' and 'I'd rather be with you'. Good songs.
2. I love listening to Brandi Carlile, beautiful voice! Love is all you need! Brandi Carlile: Heaven (October 1st in LA!)
3. I just love the way this song sounds, The Perishers: 8am departure. They're a Swedish indie rock band, one of their songs been known in 'The OC' tv show.
4. I also love listening to A Fine Frenzy! She has such an amazing voice that makes you feel calm and she has gorgeous red hair! Fine Frenzy: think of you.
5. Trevor Hall: Angel Rays "I know I'll be fine, but hey, I still miss you!"
6. A new album that just came out and I kinda like it! Thriving Ivory: where we belong! They are just starting today in LA!
7. I like the soundtrack song from the movie 'One find day'. Natalie Merchant: One fine day!
8. A song that makes me feel excited to see who will be the guy that will be my very best friend or someone that I'll be with forever! Michael Buble: I havn't met you yet. (He is only performing in CA this weekend before he takes off on tour in another country)
9. I'll be going to the Jack Johnson Concert in October and this cute girl name Zee Avi will be performing also from Malaysia. Zee Avi: the story.

{th} friend: out at pelican hill

Just the other day I went out to dinner with my good friend at {Pelican Hill} and its one of my most favorite restaurants in Southern California! The name of the restaurant is called {Coliseum} and it was such a perfect night with the most beautiful sunset. I felt so relax and peaceful and enjoying the beautiful view. If you ever visit this place I recommend starting off with Hummus then Mango Salmon (amazing) and coconut lollipop like dip in chocolate dessert.

{th} design: stina persson

I found this beautiful illustration from {ohjoy} blog and just completely fell in love with {Stina Persson's} art work!

{Stina Persson} is an illustrator based in Stockholm, Sweden. She has introduced a new vibe to the world of fashion illustration – one that combines the glamorous with the raw, and traditional media with digital techniques. In over ten years working as a commercial illustrator, her client list has grown to include Bloomingdale’s, Sony Music, Absolut Vodka, Target, and just to name a few. Stina is most widely recognized for her lush, shimmering watercolors that seem to transcend fashion to exist in a timeless dimension of their own, and she has received praise from the art world for her ink and paper collages that emanate a street sensibility.

She will be having an art gallery show in NYC called 'Perfectly Flawed' in September! Wish I could go and meet her! One day I hope to own one of her illustrations! So beautiful!
