step aside martha..

jenny from my little green notebook..really blows me away with her transformations she does with a bottle of glue and spray paint...seriously check her out its amazing!
picture above is grasscloth shades she made, orange croc tack paper, and painted the side rails gold...plus look at the exquisite framing she did with the ribbon...it looks like embroidery!

can do no wrong

perfection...all looks from jcrew

must read


image from here

i am not proud to say that i have never been much of a reader. recently i decided to read the middle place, by Kelly Corrigan...this book really grabbed me. I looked forward to getting into bed early and hearing the hilarious stories about her relationships with her family and the heart-wrenching struggle with cancer.
it is a must read a laugh and cry out loud..if you haven't read it yet i promise you will love..

...so now i am going to attempt at finishing some more "half-reds" books i started and never finished..

the perfect day

the fabulous Sadie, from the rikshaw team, told me about the weekend sherpa..I am loving this site, you can search by activity (hike, bike, relax, get away) and by california region and you can sign up to receive their newsletters which tells you seasonal things to do..So yesterday Jumby and i headed to point reyes, and went to the best beach Limantour Beach. This stretch of pristine beach, not a single scrap of trash, beautiful blue waves and people horseback riding on the beach (it was Jumby's first time seeing a horse, i think she thought it was a dinosaur!) Then afterwards headed into cute point reyes station, where they were having a climate control rally, so i listened to a few speeches, then headed to cowgirl creamery and picked up some yummy food.
The drive was so beautiful will fall foliage, cows grazing the fields, good music playin, it was a perfect day. here is the link to the activity we did..thanks sadie..next up "the perfect mt tam hike".

the glory of tory



leather leggings..and that jacket needs to be mine!
she looked stunning on this episode

i am sort of having a massive girl crush on, tory. I don't even own her famous ballet flats with her logo...its her website..i can be on it for hours..
1-play the cd and by it.. $10 of it goes to save the children in africa
2-peruse the tory must-haves
3-look at all the inspiration of all her seasons, this fall was military above
4-then her best dressed list featuring people with impeccable style
5-then end and check out her "tory entertains" to see what party she is throwing the invite she would use and the menu she would have..

i just love how you feel... like you are stepping into her life and getting a privileged peak..and what a FABULOUS life it is..
