REFUSAL OF SUMMER'S END

05 October 2011



Summer wants to linger on a little longer in Los Angeles and who's complaining?! The weather was perfect over the weekend and the delightfully sweet Jen invited me over to her aunt's place on Mulholland Drive to celebrate Refusal of Summer's End. My jaw dropped when I walked in to this divine home. Isn't it breathtaking? Every corner was impeccably styled. And that pool? For reals? This isn't happening to me, is it? I wish I took more photos of all the little vignettes around. Hopefully, I'll be returning soon because I left a big chunk of my heart there. Swoooooon to the max!

  5. I've always wondered - do these places exist for real? Like really, real? It's nice to hear they're tangible!

  6. Swoon to the max is RIGHT. I just looked at the weather for Columbus, OH and got sad that it'll be high 70's and 80's for awhile but maybe I shouldn't complain. I need to find summer-like things to do before winter takes over!!

  9. @ Shannon I keep asking myself the same thing, too! Totally Dwell-like. But it's real and all quick snaps by me.

    @ JKD I'm still drooling. Thanks!

    @ Enigheid Thanks a bunch. It still feels like a dream.

    @ Kerry Totally! I can't believe it either. I'm doing good. Busy with everything. Work, life, and pool days. Hope all is sweet on your side of the pond.

    @ Ella I feel ya. I always thought those Dwell homes and the people living in them were like unicorns! I guess it's for real, reals!
