MONDAY'S INSPIRATION - Rachel Bilson

This is how my photo shoot morphed, thanks to Pigtails!

I really enjoy watching the natural dynamic between kids.  It's just so organic to see them make friends.  We were at my old boss' house the other day when Princess Sparkles met another 4-year old girl.  They started talking and finding similarities.  "Hey, we're both 4!"  And that was just the beginning... "I like ladybugs and butterflies."  "Me too.  Oh and I like rolliepollies."  "Yeah, me too!" 

Princess Sparkles and her new friend

They noticed they were both eating hot dogs.  Then the dessert tray came around and both girls picked a chocolate brownie with marshmallows.  "I like chocolate."  "I like chocolate too!"  Chocolate sealed the deal.  Camouflage later pushed Princess Sparkles on this really cool tree swing which just happened to fit two 4-year olds.  They continued to laugh and have "adult" discussions about cars and shoes.  They had a great time together.

Today's "Inspiration Monday" from Two Birds is Rachel Bilson.  I always admire her simple but extremely stylish looks.  I went with the only "bow shirt" I own, which is from the Anna Sui for Target collection.  I put on these white capris because Camo said they looked best.  I wore my super comfy Dr. Scholl's heels I got on clearance at Macy's a few years back.  Then I accessorized with some really great purchases from my Downtown LA Fashion District shopping trip I took with my sis Polka Dots (which I still need to post about). 

Anyway, I have to say, I've lived in the LA area all my life but it wasn't until last week that I finally made it out to the Downtown LA Fashion District.  And let me tell you, it was heaven for a shopaholic like myself.  Polka Dots and I had the best time.  If anyone comes to visit LA, I definitely suggest a trip down there.  It's just about as good as riding a tree swing with a new friend!

p.s. I'm excited to share a "little secret" with all of you in my next post.  I know I mentioned it last week.  I promise, it's a good one!
