Going Back to Cali

I’m back from New York, invigorated, inspired, and ready to rock….after the holiday weekend. ;o) Until then, how about a little L.A. glam eye-candy to kick-start the summer sizzle…

    I would be completely ok with living this life all summer long! Have an amazing weekend, Erika! So sad I wasn’t able to get out to NYC to meet all of my favorite bloggers. Sounds + looked like an awesome trip!

    The wallpaper!! I just bought some fabric for throw pillows that has that ‘Martinique’ vibe going on so I can pretend I live at the BHH.

    Such a gorgeous spread! I agree with Liz, I’d be more than happy if that was what my summer looked like!
