One of the other highlights of going to the Midwest this summer was getting to go shopping and lunching with the lovely Lindsay, aka The Cottage Home Mama.

The LA Fashion District–part II
Today I am sharing my pictures from LA. Yes, everything Liz told you is true....even the part about me holding onto the emergency exit door until the plane touched the ground. I am not a very good flyer in turbulence and the fact that we were landing in a CRAZY, ridiculous wind storm didn't help matters.But it was such a fun, whirlwind trip..... Here is the FIDM store....which is awesome! This is a must-do.This is The Loft which is part of Michael Levine.And this is what most of the fabric ... View the Post
