iPhone sees all

It's crazy how often I use my phone to take pictures now. Sad really...because I've gotten pretty darn lazy about bringing my old DSLR out with me but this is something I am promising myself I'll work on in 2013. Anyhow, it has been a while so let's take a little look back at the past month or so as seen by my phone...

starting with Christmas in the mountains & and a festive outfit

 the worlds coolest grandma & snowy nights


nostalgic candy & New Years Eve

meeting baby Chet & my neighborhood

inflight entertainment & big dogs at Sundance

 more Sundance & a scene from an odd party.

making faces & watching bands

worlds biggest cafe au lait & worlds laziest black fluffy cat

holding something that makes me sad & new tea cups

a pretty LA sunset & holding something that make me happy!

Meanwhile,  I've been working hard on my music website and promise to keep you in the loop here but not annoy you with constant non-blog updates! I've also started a twitter for news on such musical endeavors @megolsenmusic so please feel free to follow me there too!

Lastly, I have been listening to this gorgeous song by the Anna von Hausswolff on repeat. The video is a little strange but it's an absolutely celestial tune...

Have a great weekend! Oh and Happy February!

Firstly, congrats to Maryvannote who is the winner* of the Shabby Apple Gift Card Giveaway! Thanks to everyone who entered!  *winner chosen via random.org

This week has not been going at all as planned...I got into a car accident yesterday and my poor little mini is a bit worse for wear (and my own body for that matter).  I know things could have been exponentially worse but, I have to say, the whole thing has freaked me out a little.  I kept replaying the (basically unavoidable) incident in my head last night over and over in between trying to distract myself with Etsy & Pinterest.. they helped a little but it is funny how the mind works. Anyhow, I thought I would distract myself yet again by posting some photos taken over the past couple of weeks with my trusty old iPhone!

 (much needed) birthday present 
 & some plastic friends

     Jenny Lewis & Watson Twins

     and my songwriting nook

     Charlie pretending to be road-kill
     & peonies ❤❤❤

    we found a bar that has skee ball!  
     &  my official 4th of July skirt

    mmmm...    
    & moi avec un chapeau

     un chat nommé Mowgli 
    & East LA sunset

   Charlie at the pool  
  &  melting in crazy Las Vegas heat

     four years ago 
    &  four days ago

 Take care out there! back soon :)

life according to iPhone & other things

Shall we take a little break from outfit posts and look at the last month according to my iPhone? April was a pretty busy one filled with various friend and family coming into town, multiple trips to art museums, trips to the beach, nights spent out on the town and nights spent in the canyon (some without electricity)....

giant dishes at LACMA                                             LA palm trees

  fancy nails                                                                a crazy black cat

  being mysterious (obviously)                                            dance party in WeHo

               charlie in the dark                                        canyon store shopping in the dark

                   Disney fun with little Brit cousins                                                   rockets!

                            edible wabbits                                                                    oh...hello

                      Venice beach on Easter                                                   sail boat envy

                                                      a couple of April dinners                                                          

                         no caption necessary                                                             stars

                          sitting in the garden                                                       beautiful foliage

                             couch pals                                                              amazing Pulp show
                    miscellaneous creatures                                      drinks with friends in red colored bars


I should also mention I did a fun little interview with StyledOn.com which they posted earlier in the week and which you can find HERE if you so choose.  Have an enjoyable weekend!

more "life according to my iphone"

Back from NYC and thoroughly exhausted after a busy weekend here in LA. While I finish recuperating I thought it would be a good time to take a quick look a the past month or so as seen through my iPhone...

Back very soon.  Meanwhile, how many of you watched the premiere of MadMen yesterday and what did you think?! We had a little MadMen cocktail hour at my house which was quite amusing.  It's funny watching it with a group of people after having seen most of the series solo and on my computer.   Personally, I thought is was a pretty good start but I'm also ready for Betty to make an appearance. 

PS: I finally made the transition from my old blogspot address to www.donjuansrecklessdaughter.com! This has been a long time coming (I've had the domain for over 3 years!) It should redirect you automatically in your readers, address bar, etc but please do let me know if you have any issues! xdjrd
