Five Things

June 29th, 2012

{Summertime sunset manicure}

This next week we’re heading up to Northern California and I can’t wait. We haven’t been since we got married there in April, so I’ve just about reached my limit for how long I like to be away. On the agenda: a day trip to Napa, oysters at Stinson Beach, a 4th of July barbecue at my parents’ house, trying out new restaurants in San Francisco, visiting friends, and going to a wedding. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and here’s a little glimpse of five things that are making me happy right now.

    Summer time and cute nails! It’s time to try something new, something unusual. The simple hair is the special style to some people. Can be very different and nifty.

    Emily – the nails were a total inspiration! Have been changing my nails almost daily this summer and this was a fab way to do something fresh and totally dedicted to the vast shades of coral I know possess. Love.
