3 rooms later

I just realized I haven't posted in about 8 months. Since my move into the loft downtown really. The artsy hell hole with no windows or internet...or kitchen for the first 3 months. Then my boyfriends place for a month and now here! Los Feliz my own room, living room space out back and a cat!

I've only run into one problem so far.  Although I moved most of my stuff in on March 1 and 2nd, had my bed set up within the week, I haven't been able to sleep here yet.  Or really I just haven't been able to sleep alone yet. I've tried. I've planned on spending the night here by myself, gotten pj's on and brushed my teeth, tried to go sleep, but always around 2 or 3 I'll text him to see if he's still awake (he always is) and head over, which happens to be about 5 blocks away. Barely even 5 blocks. I know this is a problem, its not healthy, right? I vaguely feel like I'm using him for a good night sleep. But I just can't get to sleep if I can't roll over any bury my head in his chest every now and then. 

Help??

I might just need to go through a couple sleepless nights, I guess. Or maybe this isn't even a problem and I'm blowing it out of proportion?

This weeks edition of places you probably already knew about

LUSH. I give it 5 stars. And I haven't even been there yet. I'm so excited to go. SO EXCITED. I mean oddly named, over-priced hippie cosmetics, each item with its own back story and handcrafted?? IN LOVE. I'm so there. It just screams my name. Their henna comes in a block which you grate with a cheese grater. They have bars of shampoo and you have the option of looking at only VEGAN products. The ridiculousness is awesomely amazing. And I say that most lovingly. Please understand. Did I mention the love I feel for this place? So much. Anyway, has dailycandy already done a review of this place? Cuz if not, ya know, I love to write :)

A Fall/Winter '09 collection. Makes me disgusted with myself for having an uncontrollable craving for cold weather. Who was just bitching about it not being warm enough??

Worship Worthy loves the factory

Worship Worthy interviews 'I Love Factory'. 'How many styles do you work on that never make it into the collection?
Christopher: We do so many custom pieces and those are never part of the collections. They usually stay at the showroom as inspiration for future custom pieces, or for press or as part of Laurel’s personal collection.

Millinery was big in NYC amongst tenement residents during the late 1800’s, given the current state of the economy do you think we’ll see a resurgence in hand crafted goods?
Christopher: Millinery is something that should be done by hand and made specific. I think right now more than ever people are craving accessories and clothing that is made by hand. They can appreciate the time and effort that goes into making each piece. There is so much clutter out there and if you are going to spend money on something it should be exceptional quality, evoke emotion and be timeless.

We can see your pieces worn by ladies at the historic Kentucky Derby, do events like these inspire specific designs?
Christopher: Not specifically, but that may be since we have never attended one. We do admire a big event like the Kentucky Derby where people have such freedom of costume.

If your work was the lovechild of two people who would they be?
Laurel: I think it would be all those French new–wave movies but if John Waters were directing them instead, and Alice and Wonderland and crew were styling.'

Sorry I've been M.I.A. Life caught up with me. Trying to plan my upcoming move (will explain later...). In the meantime, I'll be completely lazy and send you off to blogs I love that are more pro-active-
