life lately


 i am SO happy with the new home! it has this cool old barn in the back and i like to call it "the farm". my neighbors have chickens, goats, the garden has tomatoes the size of melons and check out the zucchini i picked! its like jack and the beanstalk! i have been bicycling all around, i feel like i am living in pleasantville...
but for the record..moving sucks. UGH what a total SHLEP. i have realized that i am a hoarder, specifically a textile hoarder! i have wayyy to many quilts and linens..its just too hard to part with those.

i am looking so forward to a long weekend to chill and try to get settled box by box.

just wanted to say hey & happy long weekend to you all!

island style

just some island style essentials that are necessary to feel chill

cute bikini..i like this hawaiian retro style one from here

this saved my hair in the humidity..actually i use it everyday, but smooths up the frizziness
available here

i adore my sarong from Matta..i wear it as a minidress and tie it like a halter behind my neck if that makes any sense..plus the little beads are an added cute detail..
i am not usually into jack rogers sandals..but these have a 'boho-ness" i love..
can't go to any island destination without your rikshaw Kurta! this one will be available on the website in the next week!

love love this african bead jewelry found at my fav...calypso

ok i will reflect...

as i peruse the blogroll this a.m i am seeing some really heartfelt sentiments from all you lovely bloggers out there..and it made me think..maybe i need to reflect?..except my memory is pretty poor..so to get a jolt of memory i headed to my iphoto library so i can see visually what happened in 2010...
new years last year was a brett dennan concert, followed by frigid New York for a trade show, celebrated my birthday with amazing girlfriends in Napa
rikshaw's BIG photoshoot for all the children and womens clothing! i was so happy with the results!
early spring was meeting many new babies that my cute friends had, heading to los angeles to celebrate easter with a dear friend, breaking in "bessie" my bike, and of course playing with jumby
once spring/summer really hit it was nothing but shipment after shipment ! and a ton of trunk shows..work was crAzy busy! ohh and my obsession with kombucha reached a new high when they decided to pull it from the shelves..
the summer i took a few trips, one down to southern california and met some fellow bloggers, went to south carolina, and lets not forget the the jack show...lottsa work but got some great beach time
fall marked yet another photoshoot, (lots of the images are getting on the website now!), went to new york and got to attnd the jcrew spring preview show, family came out for thanksgiving, and I had a white christmas in virginia!
whew..we are tired..

2010 it was a year of alot of hard work, busy days, new friendships, new places visited...all and all a great year and looking forward to new beginnings in 2011 ! i want to thank you for reading this blog...it has turned out to mean so much to my everyday.... i have loved hearing from you and actually getting to meet so many of you.
onward and upward to a wonderful 2011!!

gift guide: sacramento street

Caitlin from Sacramento Street here! Can you believe the holidays are beginning? I certainly can't. When Catherine asked me to guest blog about my favorite gifts to give this season, I thought to myself "holy cow! I haven't even begun shopping or thinking about shopping" - well Rikshaw Design readers, Catherine got me to start shopping and here is my current list. Enjoy!

Stocking Stuffer: I have to admit this one isn't very creative but it's my go-to calendar every single year. I count down the days until this Linda & Harriett calendar is available and I buy up a few for family members stockings. If you are a paperaholic, like myself, than you will love this!

Hostess Gifts: I'm always searching for unique gifts to bring to holiday parties for the host - I can't bring myself to bring another bottle of wine or champagne. This year I'm introducing it to everyone it's my new favorite liqueur - St. Germain made out of Elderflower. Pour some in a glass with a little champagne and some Pellegrino and you are good to go - it's like heaven. Another fabulous gift is a S'mores kit. It's fun and unique!

Friends: My go-to gift for friends are Antipast socks. I love picking out a different color and pattern that represent their style. Antipast comes out with hundreds of patterned socks every season - its a fun gift to give because who buys themselves a nice expensive pair of socks? Another gift I'm going to give a few friends is this super cute elephant tape dispenser from iomoi. I want one for my own desk.

Husband: My husband is a hard man to shop for because he never really wants anything, but this year he's finally given me a hint - the Flip camera. I can't wait to have this on trips and at events. One other item I'm getting Eric is this Jack Spade toiletry bag. He usually puts his toiletries in a ziplock and I think it's time for him to upgrade.

Hope this helps with your holiday shopping - I need to get out shopping to check things off my list. Happy Holidays!

*****************************
caitlin, what a chic list! i Will try that liqueur, will check out those socks, and can't go wrong with a flip camera! thanks for participating!

sunday sentiments

image from here

happy sunday folks..
don't have much to say....i feel like my creative 'tank' is tapped out..do you ever get like that?
here is some randomness happening in my head as i type:
i am enjoying my pandora station 'jack johnson' excellent mix of mellow chill tuneage..currently listening to "somewhere over the rainbow"
last week of july up next..this summer is quickly coming and going..many of you are sweating bullets in the east..but as i type this i am in jeans and a flannel..sunny but chilly..hasn't felt much like a summer in california..
someone told me i talked like june carter (reese witherspoon) in Walk the Line....will have to watch that flick again
and speaking on flicks..going to watch Surfwise in a bit ..will report my thoughts after i see it..
here is a little summertime video of donavon & jj..singin a little ditty...and doing a little surfing..

on my soapbox


images from tumblr



I wanted to take a moment and say how terribly bad i feel for all those that live in the communities affected by this horrific oil spill..I literally get so mad when i watch the underwater video of all that oil pumping into our sea, and if i see another oil covered pelican I might freak out! how is it that we can go into outer-space but we can't put a lid on this oil pump...what's worse about it all is.. what can you do?..its such a big problem its out of our hands..
My fav, jack johnson in the video above mentions something we can do to reduce our waste going into the sea, and i concur..no more plastic bottles..we already have enough junk filling up our seas, the least we can do is strive to be plastic free..

btw jack's new cd, INTO THE SEA...is a must-download..heart him..
