Sunshine Vibes

So I'm on week 3 of crutches and a sprained ankle. I have a major case of cabin fever, and feeling so antsy to walk, run, dance, jump and most importantly, DRIVE! I had to cancel my trip next week to Denver to ski with my family. I'm super bummed about it but like my dad says, "shit happens" right? While we were in Palm Springs last week for a wedding, Feng and I decided to stop for a few minutes to snap a few pictures. We saw these super cute scooters parked in the front of our hotel and asked the owner if we could borrow one for a quick shoot! Here's one of my favorite daytime outfits! You can easily change this into a winter look with some boots and a long coat. I'm so excited to wear turtlenecks again!

Back to the 80s

Found this amazing blazer at Banana Republic with Erin. She came to visit LA recently and we forgot about lunch and dinner and shopped till all the stores closed! We were trying on a bunch of work-friendly blazers and immediately got drawn to this one. It has these amazing shoulder pads that remind me of my mom's closet in the 80's, and the speckled maroon color reminds me of my grandpa's closet. It also has this secret color on the flip side of the collar. I've been wearing it to pretty much every occasion. Check out the green version too (below)!

This necklace is from Portugal! Every time our parents travel, they bring us fun jewelry souvenirs. Super cute!

Friendsgiving

Can you believe it? Thanksgiving is next week! Danielle, Ashlyn and I decided to host Friendsgiving lunch/dinner (lunner?) last weekend, before we all head our separate ways. We all were in charge of different dishes, but since Feng and I hosted it at our loft, we decided to tackle the Turkey for the first time ever. Yikes. On top of that, I had sprained my ankle the night before, so cooking, cleaning and getting ready was not easy! I must say, we managed to pull it off, and the turkey turned out pretty good, but my girlfriends are way better cooks than I am! They brought some bomb-a** mac and cheese, candied yams, cheesy mashed potato, stuffing, and pumpkin cheesecake. Mm mmm! No one wanted to take leftovers, so we've been eating Thanksgiving breakfast, lunch and dinner for the past 4 days. haha.. 

Thanks to Urban Outfitters, who provided us with some amazing products to use for our Friendsgiving! It really made our dinner next level with the cocktail kit, the record player and cute outfits. The girls attempted to make cocktails (which failed horribly), and the boys sat around watching sports and listening to Michael Jackson on the record player. Our special guest was Baxter (Danielle's dog) who pretty much stole the show. Thank you to my friends who bared with me while we cooked food, prepped the table and had a photo shoot at the same time. I would say we had a very successful first Friendsgiving in LA!

Make an Entrance

Hey guys! We'd like to introduce to you our newest publisher of Hey Yeh, Natalie! When Erin and I spied on her Pinterest boards, we knew she would be a great fit for our blog! Nat has amazing taste in decor, typography and design! She will be bringing you fun decor inspirations once a month. Enjoy!

When Courtney asked me to be a contributor for Hey Yeh, I thought to myself: what better way to make my entrance into décor blogging than to write about entrances??? One of the trickiest parts of renovating my apartment is trying to figure out what to do with my entrance. It’s the first thing people see when they come over, it’s what welcomes me home every night, and—for people like me who are always on the go—it’s got to be extremely practical!

Here are some of the photos that are currently inspiring me… hopefully they’ll kindle some inspiration for you too!
