yountville.

Wow, what a weekend.  G and I went up to Yountville on Saturday for a little day trip.  I love love love living so close to wine country.  The fact that we can drive up for the day, eat an amazing lunch, then head back in time for dinner in the city, is a dream.  We ate the most delicious meal at Bouchon, walked around the quaint little town, then relaxed for a bit at Bardessono.  Ummm, can we talk about this place?  It was SO pretty!  We were trying to figure out a way to sneak up to their pool for a bit, but home was calling, so we headed back and chatted about how we'd definitely make a return visit.

swim sale.

I know, I know, what am I doing posting a photo of a bathing suit when it's the end of September.  Ummm people, it's Mara Hoffman (!) and it's on sale (!), score!  I already own one Mara beauty, so I won't be scooping this one up, but I think you should.  And hey, depending on where you live or where you take your next vacation, you totally might have a chance to wear it before next summer.

sofa dreams.

G and I aren't on the hunt for a new sofa quite yet (we simply adore the one his parent's gave to us years ago and really don't want to ever let it go).  When we DO decide to get a new one, tufted is what my dreams are made of.  Well a white chesterfield is REALLY what my dreams are made of, but I'm willing to compromise a bit as long as tufting is a part of the equation.

chair leg love.

I am smitten with the dip dyed legs of these chairs.  Such a simple diy, that adds a big punch to an otherwise simple wood chair.  Perhaps I need to hit up some garage sales over the weekend to find some chairs in need of a little tlc.

tomfoolery.

Yep, we had a great time at Edyta's birthday party this weekend and here are some pics to prove it!  I wore my new dress...and I'm seriously in love.  So happy I indulged in some retail therapy.  And I gotta say, that tomfoolery photobooth is so.much.fun.
