Things I Love Thursday.
- Springtime weather in L.A.! It's been sunny and dry and hot here for the past few days, and while I know it's an early reminder that we have baking-hot summer ahead, I love sitting outside on my back porch looking at the riot of fuschia bougainvilleas above the railing, soaking up the sun and pretending sweaters don't exist. Aww, a monarch butterfly just flew over my head. All that's left is for a trio of chipmunks to pop up and start singing Disney songs.

- Spring clothes! As I girly-shrieked about yesterday, something in me demanded a closet makeover, and I think one of the culprits was the sunny weather demanding appropriate gear. I had a delicious time last night trying on things that an expert picked out for me, and I even came away with something that was not black, or long, or voluminous. WHOA.
- Citron green. It's a sort of not-green, not-yellow, not-chartruese, but all of the above, color that is oh-so-hot right now. I love it because it's a little shocking, but also harks back to the early 70s. It's a little futuristic when paired with dark cool colors, but also can go with soft neutrals to be almost nature-inspired. Plus, it looks good on me. Score.
Things I've Bought That I Love. No, not I, but Mindy Kaling of The Office fame. She plays the hilariously shallow Kelly Kapoor (photo) and is actually one of the show's very brilliant writers. One time she came into the posh boutique where I used to work, and she was looking for shoes to go with a yellow dress, and she was very absorbed in whether to go for gold or white, and her voice REALLY SOUNDS like it does on the show, and I was secretly freaking out like a dumbstruck fangirl, and it was AWESOME. Oh yeah, and she has this fabulous blog called Thingsiboughtthatilove.com. She's really funny and I want to be her best friend.
