Is it just me or are these flats both masculine and decidedly feminine at the same time? I have seen a few people wearing flats in this shape and I l.o.v.e. them!
Maryam Nassir Zadeh. $239.
So chic. $78.
Sparkly by Marc. $250.
OMG.
Peachy keen. $150.
Thanks coco + kelley for cementing it for me – these loafer are a must have. I predict these are the IT style for fall.
Insert me here:
Tired. The best kind of tired. There is so much to share! Pictures! Stories! Ahahaha! But for now…yawn…nap.
Summer schedule fill up quickly with bar-b-q’s, parties, and events. I wanted to come up with a few inexpensive summer-inspired hostess gifts and party favors so I never show up empty handed and my guests always leave with a little more then they came with.
Farm fresh tomatoes. Inexpensive, unexpected and so good they might not make it home.
Wrap up sidewalk chalk in wax paper for a perfect kid-friendly gift.
I love these wood containers – they are $2.99 for a pack of 4 at Michael’s.
There is something so soothing about blowing bubbles. Have you ever met anyone who doesn’t smile at the presence of bubbles?
More fruit to go courtesy of Martha. Cherries in little white bags. Use pattern edge scissors to make a plain bag special.
I received potted herbs as a hostess gift and it was such a creative gift idea I have been using it ever since. Some garden stores have pre-made pots with 2 or 3 different herbs already planted and they go for as little as $8.99.
Neon and gold and confetti, oh my!
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy 30th birthday.
Happy birthday to you.
By now you know what I got you for your birthday. I can’t wait to dance with you in our living room, now and forever.

The National Stationary Show took place in New York a couple of weeks ago and though I didn’t make it there this year I think next year it is a must do. Dear Hancock was one of the exhibitors I wish I could have visited. A husband and wife team based out of LA, they make stationary, custom invitations, greeting cards and prints. They must have been influenced by another time – their cards look like what you would find in the desk drawers of your parents childhood bedrooms. They are just retro enough to be cool today.

After some snooping I realized that these guys are a pretty big deal – they sell to Anthropologie and Paper Source!
June is off to a pretty outrageous start because right now I am here:
And as soon as I leave, I am going here for our very good friends engagement party:
Life is pretty good!! Sometimes I cannot believe how lucky I am. Truly blessed.

The flowers of June. Hopefully all the rain from May will make our gardens bloom with these colorful flowers. I am also excited about…
Long summer nights….
Wedding season… How many couples do you know getting married this month?
Time up at the lake… The lake is just 30 minutes from town. Once you are there it feels like you are miles not minutes from home.
My love is turning 30! Happy [almost] Birthday RKJ!
