Bathing Suit Shopping……

Gals- I don’t know about you, but for me, bathing suit shopping is about the WORST. The lighting is always terrible and you never have quite enough of a tan going on, so you’re just not…..your best. At least, that’s how I feel every time I try on bathing suits. Yesterday, I went to the […]

ME + EM…….and a few fun finds….

Gals. I love stumbling upon a brand that’s new….to me anyway. This site, ME + EM has so many great staples, but also a ton of fun pieces you could wear right into Spring. Check out the BEST invention of a cuff that goes under your sleeve. Why the HECK didn’t I think of that??? […]

Throwback Thursday….Simpler Days……

Gals. I wonder what it would have been like to live in the “olden” days….it seems so much simpler. People must have really ENJOYED life because they didn’t have a phone or a computer shoved in their face….sigh. Anyhoo, I saw this photo and it made me think about what a great gift a pair […]

A little more Spring Break…..

Gals. Lucky me. Before we head off to our 24th consecutive spring break on Boca Grande, I get to go to…….the Star Wars theme park at Disney World. Yep! You got that right, I’m headed to Disney. I can’t believe it. Actually, I may let the others go while I sit by the pool at […]

Throwback Thursday…..The Silver Platters…you know you loved them…..

Gals. I know, I know……I love The Brady Bunch. One of my FAV episodes is when The Silver Platters hit the stage. Their outfits (each one a bit different) were SOOO cool to me way back when. In fact, I still kinda like ‘em. Lucky for all of us, designers are offering similar looks that […]

Acid Wash Jeans……What?? YES

Gals. Acid wash jeans and a great T-shirt. Did you ever imagine? In the 80’s, we were ALL in the acid wash, remember? Hard to believe you can find new versions of it today, but I really did. The slouch pair is by Mother. I sincerely love them because they’re loose and slouchy and I […]

St. Paddy’s Day Fun!

Gals! It’s almost St. Paddy’s Day! Are you going to get your Shamrock Shake? LOL. I used to get those for the kids every year, and sometimes I still do! But, I realized that a mint chocolate chip shake is a whole lot better ;0 St. Paddy’s always brings up great memories for me. I […]

Throwback Thursday with a friend…..

Gals- I’m SO happy to do a meaningful (to me) Throwback Thursday ! My friend, Maggie, whom I have know for about 25 years, started a jewelry line called Deo duPont. I just saw the collection here in Boca Grande and every single piece is chic and gorgeous!!!!!!!!! Maggie and her partner, Donna, have created […]

A Sad Day in Boulder…

Gals. Thanks to so many of you who checked in on my family and I 🙂 We are currently on a family spring break so we were not in town for the awful shooting in Boulder. While that grocery store is about 10 miles from our house, it still feels so close to home as […]

Throwback Thursday…..the forever classic, Lilly Pulitzer!

Gals. Say what you want, Lilly Pulitzer is the epitome of chic, colorful, American resort wear. The brand just celebrated their 60 year anniversary – how cool is that? Lilly herself created a brand that has been worn by the fanciest ladies in Palm Beach and it really all happened by accident. She was trying […]
