Take Some Time To...

We may not be located in places that have these kinds of views but take some time today to take in the beauty of your life and what is around you. Life is so short. There is beauty in the giggle of a child, the warmth of a hug, helping out a neighbor or friend, putting that extra effort into a dinner tonight with special china and candles, "just because", listening to someone who needs an ear, visiting a lonely elderly person who could be cheered up. We all get caught up in our lives and I am no different. I complain about all kinds of stupid stuff every day but today I am taking the day off! I am going to spend the entire day appreciating everything, right down to our puppy who messes in the house!

Have a beautiful day.......we never know when it may be our last.

Stylish & Fun Gifts For Dad

With Father's Day just around the corner (it's this Sunday!) there are so many different ways you can celebrate your dad. Below are a few stylish and useful items your dad might like but honestly the best way you can honor a great dad is to spend some time with him. Here are some ideas that cost little but mean a whole lot!

Plan a cookout and make his favorite recipe on the grill

Take him to the beach for a homemade picnic breakfast where you can talk and listen to the oceans waves

Make a fun collage of photos of the two of you over the years and frame it

Make a handmade card and write a poem or meaningful message

If you are artistic then paint him something and frame it for his office or home

Use your imagination but most of all show him you care and love him by fitting him into your busy schedule!

Perfect for the dad who loves to travel or has to be on the road for business!

Take Some Animal To The Beach!

As I told you in the post below, animal prints are still going strong for Fall 2011. Why not take one to the beach for a cover-up? Use it now at the beach and later as a wrap or a small tablecloth!

Still Seeing Spots!

Still a big trend this fall are leopard spots. This was highlighted in the recent issue of WWD (Women's Wear Daily) where they showed lots of spots for this coming fall! Here are some items we spotted (no pun intended) that you can wear now and into fall!
