I may not have been terribly good in geometry – but I know you can’t go wrong with wearing these zig zag patterns {just not at the same time}!
Fun and flirty dress for the summer by Valerie Dumaine.
Love ‘em – signature Missoni print espadrille.
Wear it – Zigzag scarf from dELiAs.

Thank you Karey for noting this on kirtsy {at least I know you are still out there!} because that is how I found Simply Seductive, a gorgeous blog, that posed the question – “Would you go Red?” in a recent post.

..I never leave the house without:
A pair of David Yurman Thoroughbred hoops. Like the name implies, these earrings are winners and have been gracing my lobes for the past 10 years {and counting!}
The minimalist in can’t help but adore the sleek unadorned silver tube. My practical side appreciates a product that has consistently performed [...]

So my friends – consider this “wish” just for you – I hope it comes true…

Take a hand-full of Anthropologie, a dash of Calypso, a smidgen of JCrew and some salty Indian Ocean wind – mix well and you get - Monsoon.
I am quite smitten with just about everything in this store, but unfortunately they only deliver to UK residences. Sigh…
So, Mr. Simon – any plans to open a store [...]

Chalk is a staple in our house {kind of like bubbles}. Our wide-black driveway serves as the ultimate canvas for the girls to create booming metropolises or colorful gardens – complete with the occasional dried earthworm.
But did you know that chalk has more uses than just entertaining a hoard of neighborhood kids creating body outlines?
