A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to spend the day at the brand new Villas Fashion Island apartments. We were wined and dined by True Food Kitchen, enjoyed a tour of the beautiful grounds, had a special fashion presentation by Fashion Island and ended the day relaxing by one of their gorgeous pools. It was pretty amazing.

Last Monday I popped into Facial Works for a little pampering. I’m taking all I can get right now because I know in a few weeks I won’t have this kind of time anymore! Facial Works is a cool spot with a facial bar and services starting at only $50. It’s kind of like the Dry Bar for facials. The location is so cute and has an open room setting which would be perfect for a group of girlfriends.

I have a closet full of dresses and don’t normally play favorites, but if I did this one would be a serious contender. It’s the perfect late summer dress, super on budget and is giving me Moroccan vibes. Is it over-played to say vibes? Jeff thinks so but I still use it. I digress…

One of our favorite things to do in the evening is drive down to the beach and watch the sunset with a picnic. We’re so lucky to only live a few miles away and try to take advantage of this as much as possible.

This round blanket was the perfect addition for our last picnic and it paired pretty well with my off the shoulder top. A trend I just can’t get enough of right now!

TGIF! Thanks for reading and enjoy your weekend!

Happy Monday! Did that weekend go by too fast for anyone else? I thought it was time to share an instagram update. I’ve been posting a lot over there lately. Make sure you’re following along over there to stay on top of things. 🙂

I think this chair would be amazing in a corner with a stack of books and a plant on it.

I love a striped shirt and the details on the back of this one set it appart from the rest.

Wouldn’t this dress be perfect at a garden party?! I need one on my calendar so I have an excuse to buy it, like now.

Okay, I may already have this blanket but would love a second one for our bedroom. It’s such a statement piece and would look amazing on our ivory hotel collection bedding.

A huge new Anthro just opened in Newport and I can’t wait to check it out this weekend. I’m sure I’ll come home with something from this list!
