As a Lake Arrowhead local and business owner (Dogwood Tavern in Blue Jay and Dogwood Dockside at the Marina) I follow as many (if not all) local businesses on the mountain and their Instagram accounts, including the Airbnb’s, and while there are so many truly adorable and perfectly remodeled rental cabins up here, the Little …
At the beginning of the year (2022) I decided I was going to keep track of all the books I read, physical books and audio books, in list form on a simple NOTE on my phone, month by month. I wanted to not only see how many books I actually read (vs how many I …
All the sundresses and rompers before summer ends! What I’m Wearing… * Cut out floral romper from Hollister (Chad came home with 4 of these cute rompers for me just before summer, which was super thoughtful… but when I first tried them on, I felt like they were a little young for this old lady …
A couple months ago I partnered with Jared for a Pinterest collaboration for their timeless watches and everyday earrings collections and though they’ve been live on my Pinterest for a few months now, I thought I may as well share a few of my favorite shots here because well… I think they are too beautiful …
What I’m Wearing… * Pink and white gingham (checked) dress with puff sleeves – not to be confused with this pink “love of my life” dress or this cute floral pink dress. I guess I have a thing for pink dresses! * White Crocs classics * Sunglasses by Phillip Lim – old * Pink lemonade …
Earlier this month (July) a very cool sewing magazine called The Pattern Pages featured my DIY Scrunchie Headband in issue number 27 and because I’m itching to (or rather forcing myself to) post here again, I figured I’d share. Also, this magazine is very informative if you’re interested in learning how to sew! Available in …
It came to us almost by magic, really, like the best things often do… Months ago I received a quiet little text from a good friend about a possible vacancy and opportunity and after much hesitation (on my part) and negotiation that seemingly, spontaneously spawned into a whirlwind of cleaning and readying to open after …
What I’m Wearing… * Lee vintage modern denim unionalls (they’re having a 20% off sale right now!) – the legendary unionall remains my favorite thing to wear (for like 4 years now) * Vintage black leather belt with silver eyelets * Lieutenant’s hat for a reboot * Marc Jacobs pillow bag (since forever) * Also …
What I’m Wearing… * Love of My Life midi dress from Free People… also seen here and here because, like my Lee coveralls, it’s a go-to as soon as the weather is warm enough… AND I’M SO GRATEFUL FOR THE WARM WEATHER LATELY! They don’t have this color anymore but I’ve linked all the available …
Banana Republic is a whole vibe right now and I’m loving it! The company known for their passion for expedition-wear from faraway places is yet again giving it’s own 90s Preppy Safari looks… and though there’s nothing new about it, it somehow feels refreshing again. Though I do love a good “I just got off …
I’m not exactly sure what I was searching for when this beautiful A-frame image popped up on my screen, but thinking it might be located in Lake Arrowhead, I clicked on it and it led me to the post A Modern A-Frame Cabin in Lake Tahoe, California on the Style Files wherein I learned that …
What I’m Wearing… * Checkered sweatshirt by Levi’s (also seen here and here) from a few years ago… I love this light tan checkered sweatshirt as well… it’s bigger and looks so cozy! I’ve linked a bunch of cute options in the shopping widget as well as tons of other checkerboard items I love. * …
With spring in the air and Easter right around the corner, I couldn’t help falling in love with these adorably whimsical rabbit sculpture lamps that are equal parts Alice in Wonderland and Jeff Koons all wrapped up into one cute lamp. The addition of the collar as mini lampshade with just enough light to guide …
What I’m Wearing… * Sweater is from Pendleton (the local shop up here and a gift from Chad) It was on the sale rack and it kept drawing my eye. I finally went over to it and there were only Larges left. It’s not usually my color scheme or my shape but I tried it …
It’s been ages since I gave myself a pretty nail art manicure or even just painted my nails. In fact, I think the last one was in fall, way back in September, the exact opposite of spring, and it was a twist on a french manicure in brown tones. With all the extra vitamins I’ve …
