These gold t-strap sandals are my current favorites for Hawaii. Very simple and elegant.

This coral tunic can also come with me to Hawaii! Would be so cute with a bikini, navy blue shorts and gold sandals.

This historic estate isn’t too far from our vacation rental in Kauai. It’s available to rent out for a wedding, but I’m just interested in sneaking a view of the koi ponds on the grounds.

I bought this tribal print maxi dress to take to Hawaii. Long loose dresses are my favorite thing to wear in hot weather. They feel so elegant! The bright khaki pattern should be perfect with a pair of flip flops. And, back in the city, adorable for our cool summers with a light sweater on…

The Ladies Activity Club met on Tuesday this week for wine tasting, food and crafts. Elizabeth hosted a great event! Wine Tasting: A blind tasting of four zinfandels. We tasted each and tried to match each it to the descriptions. Then to tried guessing which was the most expensive. I was wrong (so wrong) with…
