Timeless White

Ivory Linen Shell Hardware Mini Caftan

Since moving to Florida, I have fallen in love with white. White here feels so fresh and clean and is a great foil to tropical colors. I now have a white stucco Spanish Colonial house, a white car, off white walls in my home, and a growing appreciation for white in my wardrobe.

New Spring Addition

Sage Tafetta Angelise Tie Skirt

 

I just got this great skirt for an upcoming event I have. I love long dressy skirts I can pair with a white shirt or T shirt. I like the juxtaposition of a dressy skirt and casual top. And it's a nice alternative to a cocktail dress.

Red, White & Blue HomeGoods Find

CCC

Memorial Day falls quite early this year - May 25th and, of course, the Fourth of July will be a big deal this year with our nation's 250th. I was in New York City for the 200th and still remember the Tall Ships and the fireworks. I will also be hosting a Fourth of July Wine Tasting & Pairing and have started thinking about red, white, and blue decorations. I just found these fabulous wicker indoor and oudoor Stars and Stripes hot air balloons at HomeGoods. 

The Kentucky Derby @ CCC

CCC - My Kentucky Derby Hat

I will be hosting a Kentucky Derby Party next weekend and I made this Kentucky Derby hat yesterday to wear. I have never seen anything like it! I'll try it on today and decide if I want to add anything else to it and also figure out my outfit. 

I just added this beautiful vintage red silk rose from my collection. The Derby is The Run for the Roses - the winner is draped with a garland of red roses.
