lavender picked from the backyard I used to decorate my sister‘s traditional danish birthday cake.
so lately i’ve been babysitting my nieces and nephew a lot, organizing my room, and tearing up old issues of vogue to occupy these lazy summer days. i finally got the romper from one of my outfits series!
… and happy birthday to lena! here are my older sisters when they were little (L – R) ingred and lena. yesterday was her birthday, but today we’re having the party. there are currently 12 people staying at my house for the weekend, its crazy!
the start of a succulent garden i’m helping my mom with in her backyard. i can’t wait to see what the final result will look like!
i flew up to san francisco for the weekend to see friends and go apartment hunting! i won’t have that much time to blog, but I’ll be back on monday. have a nice weekend everyone!
my sister, lena and her family are visiting from japan for the summer. she is in the air force, and has been stationed in okinawa more than ten years so when her and her clan can come back to the states we have a great time. her twin daughters gwen and kirra are eight and a half and her son billy is turning seven in august. in these photos we were playing with this weird ball that looks like a sea sea anemone, but it popped. then the kids thought it would be funny to take photos of it on their heads. photos from my flickr.
the pool in my backyard is now salt water! i’m so happy because chlorine always irritated by sensitive skin, but now i swim every day. it’s been a pretty hot summer here in palm springs but the pool is refreshing, and now its even better!
friends and family, fireworks, tom petty, watermelon, beer, bbq by the pool, hot desert sun + heat, popsicles, lemonade, sparklers and bruce springsteen! happy 4th of july everyone! photo by ryan mcginley

this summer i really want to try to master making macarons. they’re one of my favorite desserts and although i’ve had some pretty decent and also experimental ones here in the states none are as good as laduree’s. does anyone know of a good recipe?
