SUMMER SCORE

Every summer I watch and wait until these Adirondack chairs go on clearance at JOANN'S Fabric store.  They are regularly $90 a chair but if you wait until mid-summer they mark them down 70% off which means they are $25 each.  You do have to assemble and paint but they are easy to put together and very durable because they are cedar.  We have 2 black ones on our front porch HIS & HERS, that we sit in all year round.  We have a long front porch so we have been wanting to add more seating for friends & family so I picked up 2 more today!  Hurry supplies limited

REVOLVE PICKS

Every month I allow myself to do a little shopping, nothing crazy ok just a little retail therapy!  I window/internet shop as a hobby so I find TONS of things to swoon over.  My rule of thumb is to wait a week and see what still sticks out in my mind as a MUST HAVE.  Here are a few things that I like from Revolveclothing.com

BUSY BEE

I have been really busy showing properties to one of my most entertaining clients by far, he definitely keeps me on my toes and very busy.  I have been spending lots of time showing him & his wife properties here.

When I get a free moment I would love to try this recipe,  bloody mary inspired skirt steak.  Details here

 I also want to make a trip to MAC and trade in my empty containers for this pretty pink shade called Saint Germain

(Inspired by My Mom)

 I need a relaxing mani/pedi, I like this lavender color for my fingers!

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
