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 …
Dogwood Dockside Bar & Grill / Our New Lake Arrowhead Venture
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 …
And I’ve been waitin’ so long… Now I gotta resurface
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 …
I’m Gonna Take You on a Trip So far From Here
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 …
The NEW Banana Republic is the OLD Banana Republic Safari Aesthetic
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 …
Sunday House Crush / Rustic Modern A-Frame Cabin in Lake Tahoe
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 …
Whatever Tomorrow Brings I’ll Be There
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. * …
Celebrating Spring with these Adorable Rabbit Sculpture Lamps
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 …
Red Light, Yellow Light, Green Light – GO!
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 …
Beauty // Floral Nail Art for Spring Manicures, Groundbreaking
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 …
Shopping in Lake Arrowhead // Song of A Sparrow Soaps & Candles
Last summer while we were waiting for a table at Antlers in Twin Peaks, Chad and I wandered into the little Mountain High Market (the one they used in the film “Blue Jay“) and at checkout, Chad added a few bars of soap from local maker, Song of a Sparrow, that were sitting on the …
If You want my Future, Forget my Past
What I’m Wearing… * Lee High Rise A Line jeans (which are surprisingly comfortable, I must say… and also look cute dressed up with heels or dressed down with sneakers) * Lee Cropped hoodie sweatshirt – SO SOFT and comfy (ALSO, I’m featured on the shopping page! EEk, So fun.. It never gets old 😉 …
Sunday House Crush // The Ultimate Oasis in Santa Barbara
Based solely on the exterior, I would not call this house an oasis, and to be honest, those weren’t my words anyway, but stolen from the listing, however, I do find this home oddly appealing with its expansive modern spaces designed with an old European vibe that I’m just drooling over. It’s confusing to describe …
Book Review & Thoughts on Rules For Being a Girl
* Rules For Being a Girl by Candace Bushnell & Katie Cotugno This might seem a little bit silly to say considering I’m 45 years old and referring to YA (young adult) literature, complete with teen angst and problems I left behind almost 30 years ago… BUT OMG THIS BOOK WAS INCREDIBLE! Okay, incredible might …
As Winter Melts… Flowers Competing for the Sun
What I’m Wearing… * Black turtleneck sweater (old) * Black leggings Victoria’s Secret (foldover yoga leggings are my favorite) – also seen here in a far cuter look I think – the reviews say these foldover leggings on amazon (for far less) are like the VS ones and now I want to try for myself! …
