A Gorgeous Garden Stool

Silvie Garden Stool

 

I'll bet most everyone reading this has at least one blue and white Chinese garden stool. I have many at CCC both indoors and outdoors. I have found a new one that really is an especially lovely example.

Iconic Caftans

Royal Blue Lace 3D Maxi Caftan

I am a caftan devotee - in the tropical heat of Florida, there's nothing more comfortable. Caftans, also spelled kaftans, were originally worn by men. Cut from airy material to sit off the body, it is one of the most comfortable things you can don in tropical climates. Long associated with Palm Beach and Florida, the caftan is as comfortable as sweat pants, but with elegance and sophistication.

A Chic Pink & Blue Palette

Jonathan Adler

 

My design aesthetic has definitely changed somewhat since living in Florida. I have really embraced white walls. My house is white stucco outside (Sherwin Williams Alabaster) and white walls inside as well (Benjamin Moore Classic Gray), a warm white. 

Chinoiserie Chic Summer Bags

Bamboo Straw Handle Tote

 

I have found two great handbags for summer - one for day and one for evening. Both feature bamboo for a Chinoiserie Chic, coastal, beachy vibe.
