Summerland is cutest little town off California’s Summerland is cutest little town off California’s Highway 101. So many people have never been, including myself until last week when we stopped and I fell in love! 

The number one place here is the famous @godmothersbooks which had been on my list, and is a gathering spot for the community, besides two levels of the best collection of books and a cute courtyard cafe.

Next door is the @summerlandbeachcafe 
and three incredible home stores- @porch_summerland, @thewellsummerland, and @botanik_summerland Botanik. There is much more, but we had to get back on the road. I need to get back there and explore more.

Pop over to the blog and read more about this hidden gem of a town, that’s deserves a stop on your next California adventure.

Thirty years ago today Max and I were married! Tim Thirty years ago today Max and I were married! Time has seemed to fly. It doesn’t seem so long ago my friends Ani and Chris told me I had to meet this guy Max.  Our first date was Mrs Doubtfire!  We talked until 3 am!  We were pretty inseparable after that, though we were pretty opposite. 
I learned to scuba dive and backpack for him -and he learned to love (okay abide) museums and Jane Austen films! 
We had so much fun raising our boys. He is the best person I know and I feel so lucky. 
Love you @trinidadmaxon
Did you know Venice’s Abbott Kinney Boulevard is a Did you know Venice’s Abbott Kinney Boulevard is an experimental spot for new retail and shops? We spent a few hours there last Saturday with our son Jackson who’s recently moved to LA. There’s so many fun concept stores and new brands to discover!
I bought a handbag for fall from an adorable brand @ciao__lucia and Jackson loved the shirts and pants @cookman.usa. We loved @ourplace with bright cookware and kitchen equipment. 
More details about my bag -and the cool brands on the weekend blog.

Happy Saturday! Don’t you love a little lamp on th Happy Saturday! Don’t you love a little lamp on the counter? I’m a fan of the soft light glowing as the day starts and later as twilight comes.  This one from @shophuntandbloom is perfect in size for my bar or a kitchen. I discovered H&B looking for plates for my kitchen wall. 

The weekend newsletter is up and I’m sharing my cute new lamp, a fig couscous, some gardening and more.

Maybe jewelry is our gateway to an updated fall lo Maybe jewelry is our gateway to an updated fall look? Today on the blog, Cindy and I are sharing the trends, styling ideas, and some of the coolest pieces we have found in the jewelry space- and yes some of these pieces have an 80’s feel. 

Jewelry is getting bold, after years of ‘quiet luxe.’ I’m here for it . Let’s get louder!

Dig in the drawer, wear what you own, and mix it up. ✨Some ideas for that too on August’s Signature Style.

Today on the blog, I’m sharing the best summer sal Today on the blog, I’m sharing the best summer salad you will ever make. This is a longtime favorite from my friend Alex who is an incredible entertainer. She always makes everything California casual, and seemingly thrown together, but it tastes and looks fabulous! 😎

This salad uses the best of summer so make it soon!
The salad 🥗 is…
~Washed butter and a mix of greens (not bagged right now)
~Watermelon cubed
~Baby tomatoes halved 
~3 ears of white corn (slice off uncooked and rinsed.)
~Red onion sliced
~Toasted pine nuts 
~Feta cheese crumbled ( I substituted mozzarella here as my feta went bad.)
~Poppyseed dressing. Yes bottled. Sorry, but it is so good. I used Brianna’s as the original recipe calls for it. 

Assemble and toss gently with the dressing. Top with pinenuts and blue corn chips crumbled are good too.

Alex’s salad is a great one to share at a gathering because it makes so much and can also be a terrific dinner with a protein added. 

The full recipe on a card to save is on the blog, along with other delicious summer food ideas from five friends.

Every summer I have to have at least one visit to Every summer I have to have at least one visit to Garwoods where the beauty of the lake is laid out before you and it feels like the Riviera with people boating in and families enjoying summer lunch on the beach here. 

The epitome of summer.☀️

The beginning of August is always a great time to The beginning of August is always a great time to grab some quality linen on sale that will be beloved pieces in your closet!  Cindy and I have scoped out the retail space and chosen the best options -and most are marked down now. Grab these lovely things before they are pushing boots and sweaters on us! 

I’m wearing a black linen set from @athleta surprisingly (not just workout) and my go to linen pants and popover shirt from @frankandeileen. Other good finds from Madewell, Tuckernuck, Banana Republic, Gap, and others on the post.

All the details are on our posts! ⬇️

Happy weekend everybody. Hey my hair is kind of a Happy weekend everybody. Hey my hair is kind of a mess here, but I don’t care. I had a crazy week, but I wanted to share two blog posts are up on my bio…
-Cindy and I did our annual linen post with some chic finds and good deals right now before the end of the season. 
-Today I shared my new wallpapers and a Provence home tour. 
*Both are linked in my bio and stories. 

🍅 My tomatoes are coming in and my dad just also brought me tons! This salad is so delicious with just tomatoes, basil, sliced cucumber, and avocado cubed, small mozzarella balls – all topped with a drizzle of good olive oil and Malden salt. The crackers are @ellasflats and good for you too. My go to summer lunch! 

These are my favorite things about summer, great salads, and all the wonderful produce! If you aren’t growing your own tomatoes, get to the farmers market and find some of those sweet ones. They really are different than store bought!

Happy weekend, everyone!!

On the weekend blog, two great spots in Portola Va On the weekend blog, two great spots in Portola Valley - the wonderful @laderagardenandgifts and the charming beer garden @alpineinnpv for lunch!  Both just minutes from each other and make for a great day out. 

I never fail to fall in love with something at Ladera - plants, pots, or beautiful house items. The people are the nicest too. I brought home an ivy and the prettiest peachy pink orchid. 

Alpine Inn is historic and recently redone. The food is delicious and it feels like you’ve been transported to an afternoon in Europe. Loved the little gardens growling between tables. 

P.S. I am wearing @frankandeileen updated version on their polo dress 💕with a longer sleeve and a slightly shorter length. It’s been a favorite this summer. (Link in story or my ShopMy in bio.)

All the deets on the weekend post!

A few photos from our summer day at Half Moon Bay. A few photos from our summer day at Half Moon Bay. We had gorgeous sunny 🌞 day at Frances Beach and then shopped and had lunch in the charming downtown. 

You have to see the third video with the pelicans… I had no idea they used air between them to fly like the Blue Angels! We also saw many Whimbrels here.

Downtown Half Moon Bay is well cared for and filled with all the small shops that we want and are losing in our downtowns.  They also have some wonderful murals!  We had an Italian lunch on a sunny patio with farm to table minestrone and the best focaccia of our lives at @itsitalia . 

On the weekend post are all the cute shops, a few restaurants, and more good things  not to miss in Half Moon Bay.

I am wearing the best little denim shift top from @frankandeileen that looks good with everything .
It’s all on the weekend blog - or comment link and I’ll send you it!
