I’m in full fall shopping mode right now. Fall transitional style is all about the corduroy, suede, and cozy knits. And, as you can see from what’s in my cart, I’m just loving the warm neutral tones like tans and browns and bold autumn colors like red and orange.

Current Obsessions: Daring Denim Skirts

August 4, 2018

In the spring, the island is much less crowded so there’s hardly a wait for restaurants and attractions and very little traffic.

Mother’s Day! The day we celebrate all the moms and grandmas and aunts and mother figures in our lives. I, for one, am always having trouble trying to find something for mothers day gifts. It’s hard to find something that they don’t have or something they really want or need. Every time I ask, the answer I always get is along the lines of “Whatever you get me, I’ll love.” Well, that doesn’t help at all. So that’s why I’ve rounded up nine ...
