Barbados

I came upon this lovely silk maxi dress at Loehmann's a couple of weeks back. It was just one of the stops on my frenzied, marathon-run through LA trying to put together my idea of the most perfect wardrobe for a tropical locale. In the end, it didn't make it into my suitcase, but that had less to do with its practicality and more to do with my fear of lost luggage :) Looking forward to wearing it to Brunch tomorrow.

Raid

Recently, I spent some time with my two favorite people- my mother and little sister. It was my nephews First Birthday and I flew cross country to share in the celebration. It was quite the surprise to see how much they've both grown and changed.

There once was a time when my sister and I would tear through a store, scoring one fabulous find after another; now with the bundle in tow- we have to be very precise and calculated with our selections because the little man's tummy waits for no one! This dress was one of those snatch and dash pieces and fortunately for me, it fit and I loved it.

May Day

There's just no doubt about it, Spring has definitely sprung and it's just our good fortune that there isn't much else to do except settle into this precious season with ease. I picked up some fresh flowers last weekend, switched the linens from the jewel tones of Fall and Winter to the lighter, brighter hues of Spring and Summer; And this week, I'll be celebrating Cinco de Mayo with friends- I'm excited! More importantly though, I've inadvertently developed an obsession with devouring publications and podcasts related to various environmental issues and human interest stories. If you have a moment to spare, please do check out Annie Leonard's The Story of Bottled Water -- I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.
