Bella's road to recovery...

Thank you for all the love and healing prayers you sent to me regarding my Bella and her healing. After months of vet visits and no answers on her bum problems, more specifically her anal glands, I did extensive research to find out Bella was in need of one special procedure. This procedure called for local anesthesia while the vet cleaned out her glands with saline solution specific for this ailment, infused the area with antibiotics and prescribed her 1 week supply of oral antibiotics. The 1-hour procedure resulted in a lot of loopiness and a million and one kisses on a little wet nose and a lot of rest for this little pup.

After a few weeks of monitoring her, I am pleased to announce that Bella has healed nicely and has been enjoying many feisty arguments and rascal-like play dates with her younger sister, Lulu.

Need more proof? Let me leave you with a bit of Sunshine, courtesy of Bella. 

Warning:  these next few photos are sure to melt your heart.

I love this little girl with everything that I am, and there will never be another person or creature on this earth that could ever take her place. 🐶❤️

Dogs were made to teach us about love, let them.

Love always, 

Lisa & Bella <3

Summer Time Fine

Summer Time Fine by ladylisalove featuring black clear glasses

I know it's a bit early to think of Summer, but when you live in California like I do, there's no day too early to prepare for hotter days and bare legs. This Summer Time Fine look is a mix of structured and flouncy pieces to give a laid-back look that is still completely polished  and effortless. Perfect for a summer day look at the office or a brunch date at the local café. I personally have always loved structure in my life, so it's no surprise that I would enjoy the same in my fashion style. (Check out the horizontal stripes to elongate a small torso and the solid lines found in the accessories.).

I love the idea of mixing high/low end price points together, so if you can afford to do so, please do, but don't go over your fashion budget as you can always find similar pieces at a lower cost. Try looking into stores such as Target, H&M and Forever 21 for accessories that range in price from $1.80 to $20. If you're a bag and shoes girl like I am, my suggestion is invest, invest, invest. Save up your moolah, $1 a day in to your mason jar, and when you've reached a special occasion, or just need to reward yourself for a job well done this year, go ahead and get yourself some lovely ASOS sandals, or  a Gerard Darel hobo purse. Trust me, no one will be judging you. They'll just wonder how they can replicate your fabulous look.

Oh, Monday...

My weekend was a blast. I felt like it was a long weekend, when in actuality it was the same two-day allowance we as Americans typically get. I worked my full eight-hours on Friday and was ready to bail by 4p.m. Peace out business world, I had things to do! Said in my ghetto-fabulous tone.


I picked up E and off we went to Orange County to have a quick bite to eat, and trot around the mall for some fab finds I shouldn't spend my money on, but had to. Plus, I needed to pick up a fabulous gift for the future Mrs. Peterson.


One of my sweetest and dearest best girlfriends is getting married soon and her bridal shower was Saturday. Eek! I know, last minute, but I knew what I wanted to get her and it was as easy as 1...2...3...


A door knocker with the Phrases "The Petereson's est. 2014"

She loved it!


We had fun snapping photos of the many little details and the fact that she was 72 days away from marrying the love of her life. Well now it's 67 days away. WHOA!

After the shower, I went to dinner and a movie with E. We saw 300 Rise of an Empire, and let's really get into the fact that this is a Manly man's movie and we saw the film in IMAX 3-D. It wasn't enough we had to do it in IMAX, but 3-D? Oh my, this was going to be an experience. I had never done 3-D before, and we have never done a movie in 3-D together so I was oooohh-ing and awww-ing a bit while E was screaming at the screen with intense physical reactions of excitement. It was fun!


Check out our photo. Warning: never take bright flash photography while wearing these glasses. It was painful and was cause for many do-overs until we didn't look drunk.

Sunday came with a lovely morning of birds chirping and the sun shining. E and I went to noon mass, followed by running errands and then a relaxing pizza party for my sister, Mandy. All the family was over, and there was tons of giggles, playful shouting matches,  food devouring and cooing over my adorable nephew, Evan.

Hope your weekend was just as lovely. Please share with me what you did. :)
