Weekend Wishes
Good morning! Here’s were I’d like to have my morning coffee this weekend. I imagine sitting here with no laptop, phone or technology of any kind. Just enjoying the surroundings. What are your plans for the next few days? We have lots of cleaning and organizing lined up for today, followed by dinner with friends this evening. Hope your weekend is off to a great start!

Plum Pretty Sugar Fashions on Etsy
In what began as a designer’s journey to find her own path, Plum Pretty Sugar Loungerie was born. The desire to create a line that evokes feelings of “living beautifully, inspired and with heart” is at the core of each design.

Turquoise Tuesday
Good morning! Welcome to this week’s Turquoise Tuesday. How’s your week going? In my little corner of the world, we are in the middle of the hottest stretch of our summer, (so far).

Yesterday I read a beautiful and inspiring post by Shannon of The Simply Luxurious Life here. And thanks to Brooke Giannetti of Velvet & Linen, I fantasized about visiting Carmel by the Sea here. Hope your week is off to a great start too!

Rachel Zoe Returns…Finally!
As RZ fans already know, tomorrow is the big day. New episodes of The Rachel Zoe Project return to Bravo TV’s lineup. I couldn’t be happier about it! (In fact, I’ve kind of been counting down the days.) Summer has seemed a little empty without the fashion-filled drama that is Rachel Zoe. And in celebration of her return, here’s a look at some of Rachel’s fashions over the last couple of months. Who else is a Rachel fan? I’d love hear from you!
