WEEKEND STAYCATION

We are staying in town this 4th of July which is a total bummer because it is predicted to reach 115 degrees...HOLY HOTNESS!  So to stay cool we booked a last minute staycation at the Montelucia Resort.  Supposedly there are rafts and a DJ at the pool, should be quite the scene.  I can't wait to float on my raft while sipping a cocktail & working on my tan (not my face mom, I have my hat and sunscreen) !  Hope you all have a safe and wonderful holiday weekend!

WHY DIDN"T I THINK OF THAT

Kilim has been around my world for many years.  My Mom being an interior decorator, we had Kilim rugs and pillows in our Mountain home in Colorado and in our Spanish Territorial home here in AZ.  So why didn't I think to add kilim to cowboy boots, they blow my mind!  Check them out at KIBOOTS & COBRA SOCIETY
These will be a MUST for FALL 2011

KVL

I NEED this initial necklace from Max & Chloe, it's a necessity!  I'm thinking about ordering one with my maiden name initials so I have a keepsake to carry on my family's name since I am the last one.  It's so great right?! I love it paired with pearls below, it is the perfect layering piece. This necklace is available in gold, rose gold, and silver.  Purchase here

LUNCHBOX

It is beyond HOT here in AZ and nothing sounds good for lunch these days because I am full from drinking sooo much water & I dread getting in my car to grab something.  However, at Whole Foods today I came across these Asian garden rolls with peanut sauce and they were so refreshing & healthy too.  I also put in the freezer a Naked Smoothie for an afternoon snack in lieu of a protien bar.  It is nice to find something else to add to my fairly routine lunch choices. I will definitely do this lunch again & again!

VA VA VA VOOM

I'm really digging this orange dress on Jamie Chung.  The plunging neckline is very flattering and I also like her coordinating lipstick.  The dress is back in stock for $299 & comes in black, white, and hot pink. Purcahse here

NUDE ESPADRILLES

Espadrilles are BACK IN STYLE these days & they are literally everywhere.  The trick is finding the right pair!  I like simple nude espadrilles because they go with everything and the neutral color makes your legs look longer always a bonus!  I own these wedges that I bought last year and never wore until now! 

*Apparently guys think they are hot shoes, the same goes for white bikinis, & white pants?!?  I will never understand the man's brain!

Mine are Enzo Angiolini purchased last year
