Flats

The flat has had a long rally as the office shoe du jour. However, this season's flats beg for a night on the town. Check out some of my favorites above.

Love Doves

One of my first jobs out of college was working as a personal assistant for a prominent Santa Barbara family. During my first week,  I was commissioned to wrapping school, where I was taught the secretes to seamless wrapping, bow assembly and crafting name tags.  I held the job for only 7 months  but the importance of presentation was ingrained in me.

Over the next several months I have four weddings and several bridal showers to attend  so I wanted to invest in a signature wrapping that would work for the various festivities. I was instantly attached to the Two Silver Dove paper pictured above. I love that it works with almost any color. I chose trendy lime green ribbon but I think it looks equally great with pinks.

Canary Yellow

Canary yellow is one of those eye catching colors that demands attention. It will surely be noticed even when worn on just your finger tips. Check out my Canary yellow pins on pinterest!

Pool Side Ready

I am ready for my upcoming staycation in Ojai this weekend. I plan to post up poolside at the Ojai Valley Inn Pool and Spa. My poolside essentials include foldable Sunpocket Samoa Sunnies, Seavees Sandals, a straw hat and Burt's Bee Chemical free sunscreen plus a good read.

Mocktails

I am longing the day that I can sip on an extraordinary beverage.  The last 6 months of ordering water, tea and the occasional soda has found me wanting. In the meantime, I have discovered some mocktails that quench this craving. 1.Tropical Mint Ice Tea  2.Arnold Palmer 3.Virgin Mojito
