Happy Fourth of July!

July 4, 2013 By kimwheeler No Comments

I’m finally back from my adventures. I’m fighting some serious jet-lag and went from winter temps in Europe to 100 + here in California. However, I’ll be back as soon as I can get it together. I can’t wait to share my photos from England, Holland, Belgium and Germany.

Today I’m off to our annual Fourth of July parade and hoping to catch some Wimbledon today too.

Wishing you a wonderful Independence day if you are in America today. I’ll be back soon with a Wimbledon post!

In the meantime, here’s some of my favorite July covers. The July issues always seem to be the most inspiring!

9 a.m. and I already moved the furniture all around! My husband is away this weekend and asks if I’m relaxing. This is my relax mode. Could this be a Virgo thing? Anyway I’m sort of excited for cooler weather and changing things up.. anyone else? I could actually do a sweater this morning!🍁Hoping you all are having a happy Sunday..

Have you ever thought of using a planter for your kitchen utensils? I just popped mine into this cute planter from @anthropologie and I and like the texture and fall vibe. Looks like a sweater almost. Try this little trick to add some variety to your counter look.

Happy Friday. Wishing you all a lovely weekend. See you all tomorrow on my weekend meanderings post and
I am keeping good thoughts for everyone in Florida and on the lower East Coast in the path of the storm. 💙

Just a few of a billion pictures I took this weeke

Just a few of a billion pictures I took this weekend in Lake Tahoe. I don’t know why, but getting up there always feels so good for the soul. This early fall time is my favorite when it’s less crowded and still warm. Now I can’t wait to get back..If you haven’t been in fall, I highly recommend it.

A day I won’t ever forget. Two things that were so touching were the flowers that were left by people at Windsor Castle for the Queen were used to make this incredible border along The Long Walk to Windsor Castle…, and along that procession was her pony Emma standing at attention. 💗
Beautifully done day by a nation and people who adored her. When I saw her pony it really got to me. I feel grateful to have lived in her Elizabethan era.

Today a little tour of my remodeled closet and how I organize my clothes. I thought since we did our Signature Style posts on ‘closet clean out’ this could be helpful and some inspiration to get in there and try things on, make lists and organize, before shopping this year!

I hope this is understandable.. I’m a fast talker and trying to slow down. 🙈Let me know what you think of my system - and read my post- and @cindyhattersley and @sarahlondonstyle for ideas and inspiration if you missed them last week. And clean your closet- it’s your first step to having a wardrobe you’ll love! ❤️

Lunch alfresco today with Nate and Jer and their darling family. What a nice mailbox surprise and a lovely way to start the week with inspiration. I am feeling grateful for beautiful 79 degree California weather after a week of hellish temps. Wishing you all a good week and look for this beautiful issue of @archdigest !

I’m so crushed today about the Queen. This treasure was my grandma’s and inside the top of her nightstand. It was a Coronation tin and I am lucky to have it. Grandma adored the queen and they were of the same generation- one of service and doing the right thing. ❤️

I think this whole time she reigned was a New Elizabethan Era of sorts and we were so fortunate to have her so long. I can’t really believe she’s gone and I’m sure there will ever be another like her.
Feeling for the people in the U.K. tonight and so many of us all over the earth for whom she was a symbol of what is good in the world.

Are you ready to go shop for fall? Hold off and read our posts before you spend a dime on new things.. This month’s Signature Style with Cindy and Sarah is ‘Closet Cleanout’ and we have some great inspiration for you… All of us are looking to use what we have and buy less- and buy better. Sarah shows what to do to remake your pieces instead of donation, and Cindy shows the key killer pieces she has that she mixes so many ways.. I am showing what you can do with what you have by styling them with what you already own.

Please visit and let us know what your thoughts are on upcycling, buying less and better and using what you have to make new looks…I promise it’s a lot of fun and will make you think and make better choices for your fall capsule wardrobe!

A little ode to our 26th Anniversary night away in

A little ode to our 26th Anniversary night away in the city at the pretty @sanfranciscoproper hotel! It’s a dreamy little sanctuary and the place to go for a fun dinner at their restaurant, Villon and Charmaine’s fun rooftop bar.. The rooms are adorable and so comfy and with all the amenities you can dream of! If you’re planning a night in the city.. look no further.

All about this lovely hotel, my new outdoor redone patio furniture, mirrored backsplashes, tennis bracelets and more on this weekend meanderings!
