Such a sweet collection of dresses for young girls….

These super stylish stools are my most  favorite “soccer mom” accessory.  They are the perfect size for the girls {and me},  foldable and easy to carry to and from the field. I have had mine {Green Peony Print} for a few years and it is still in great condition.

These fun stools are a must have for all stylish sports moms!

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.

Playful patterns and pops of bright color make a fresh statement in home decor.

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 in the US?

Dear Lola ,

I would love for you and some of your friends to come and visit my closet for a few months.  The Boots are currently packing for their seasonal respite and the Flip Flops have just taken up residence, (not to worry, they all share the same room).  Do let me know when you plan to arrive so I can schedule some outings with the Fancy Frocks.

Best Regards,

Heather

Welcome back friends -I hope each of you enjoyed a lovely weekend.

Has Spring found its way to your home?  We have been teased by this elusive season, so until its official arrival, I can dream of warm lazy days and alfresco dining under one of these fabulous covered porches….
