Wicker, Rattan, & Basket Bags

Unless you guys have been living under a rock I am sure you have noticed that there is a major obsession with handbags made of wicker, rattan, raffia, and macrame.  I think it’s actually safe to say Cult Gaia led the charge with their now iconic Ark bag (aka my most favorite bag ever).  It […]

I seriously wonder if seasonal trends are really so big that everyone knows about them or if my love of all things fashion and style tunes me in just a bit more than the average woman.  Whether it’s my time spent flipping through the latest Vogue or InStyle, scrolling Instagram, spending hours reading blogs and […]

I can’t believe the 4th is just a few days away (and that we leave for our weekend in Arrowhead on Sunday)!  In case you missed it, this is quite possibly my favorite Holiday of the year, even more than Christmas.  Last week I shared some fun Patriotic finds to take you from the beach […]

Desert Wanderlust

We spent most of last week enjoying some relaxation in Joshua Tree.  I have always loved the desert and being so close to Joshua has given me so many opportunities to get away and explore, I never realized how much there is up there!  We woke up early one day to (try) beat the heat […]

Insta Lately

Happy Hump Day!  We are currently up in Joshua Tree (trying) to escape the heat of Palm Springs.  News flash: it’s not much of an escape at 112 degrees currently.  Someone get me to an ocean, STAT! While we are up here I have been working on my forthcoming Travel Guide to JTree (ahhhhhh!) and […]
