Dining Al Fresco

 Where did Spring go?
Are you a lover of dining outside?  
I sure am and we try do do it as much as the weather will permit

Simple tables are beautiful in the garden and does the food taste better outside?

 I have saved a boat load of images from magazines over the years
 and love to pull them out for inspiration 
 Now that we all use Pinterest we can save our favorites digitally 
and look at them everyday if we need to....
 I'm not sure which magazines I pulled these from 
but I suspect some are over ten years old
 But it is wonderful how a beautiful garden setting 
and a dining table are timeless
 Wicker in the garden.....a classic favorite
 And of course cafe' style chairs....love this table!!!!
 those lanterns!!!!
 modern farmhouse dining
 shabby and weathered with hydrangea....so pretty
 a little photo inspiration 
for the long weekend coming up
 these last three are from our little house in Ojai
we had some memorable and wonderful meals in the garden....(big sigh)

have a relaxing holiday and see you soon!

;)

The New Uniform: letting go and owning your style

Do you have a uniform? Is there a look  or a certain combination of items that you seem to gravitate to  when  you get dressed? For me, the awnser is Yes....yes and double yes Try as I might to be as chic as a Parisian  I am pretty much a California "basics" sort of a gal. Sadly, in the past I often purchased things that had no business in my closet... by that I mean they will probably never get worn, at least by me.  It's not because many of my fashion choices are not cute or stylish...it's because I wear the same really simple, comfortable things over and over again and pass on the new and trendy thinking that today is not the "right day" to wear it.   Weird....I know   So if today is not the right day to wear something  that pretty much sums up the theory  that I'm buying things that just are not working with my lifestyle The photo above is Matilda Kahl an art director at a big New York Ad house.   She grew incredibly frustrated with ...
