Crew: Brian, Seth, Bob & RW
Current: Flood - Ram Island 1840
Winds: SW 220 at 9 to 14 kts
Start/Finish: between GLP & Horseshoe
Course: s/f-N-I-N-s/f , Distance: 7.0 nm
It was late morning by the time I arrived at the boat, having stopped by Defender on the drive down for some supplies. By mid-afternoon the winds picked up into the high teens with gusts to 25 according to GON's ATIS. I began to wonder if we might get more than we bargained in our first race of the season.
Motoring out at 1730 in a chilly breeze of 10 to 12 knots, we all donned jackets and hoped the reported rain would stay ashore. With a half hour of ebb remaining, I elected to start at the committee boat with a tack to port once we were clear, thinking we may get lifted slightly by the current. In retrospect, I believe we may have had more current on our nose than on our lee. Noo Problem over early, re-crossed on port near the RC and hung on till short of Seaflower. The remainder of the class went left on starboard and all of them appeared to eventually approach North Hill through the Dumplings.
The slog through the chop on port was slow going, yet I hung on till well past Seaflower where we laid the mark for a much smoother board. We had a decent bear-away set and run down between the Dumplings up to six and a half knots at times. Nearing Intrepid, we jibed and lowered to pole from 5 to nearly 2 in preparation for the tight spinnaker reach to the pin at the starting area This helped us significantly (again exceeding six a good bit of the time) as many boats were unable to fly their spinnakers successfully. We rounded the pin at 1855 with a reasonable douse and hardened up on a headed port tack. A tack to starboard well short of Seaflower put us on a long layline to the windward mark.
Later at the Seahorse, I learned that the RC had used us as a gauge; figuring if SeTherin were to finish the first lap by 1900 hours & prior to the fast boats nearing the top mark, it would not be necessary to shorten the race at North Hill (at the end of the second beat). I found also that MiniMaxi missed the pin and rounded the committee boat instead, not realizing their mistake till too late in the game.
On the second beat the wind picked up to 13 kts requiring the flattening reef. At first I was reluctant to put it in, thinking other flattening measures would be sufficient. I failed recognize the colder air (this early in the season) may demand it sooner than at the 14+ kts we are used to in the warmer summer months. All of us were slow in depowering the rig in the increasing wind. Thanks to Brian for his attentiveness, and also for remembering to shake it back out with the decrease to twelve knots near the top of the course. Hopefully, we can get the rust worn off quickly.
About five minutes short of the mark, ahead a good bit and slightly to our lee, Seaquester tacked directly of ahead of and too close for Tumult to avoid. I could not see as they were shielded by the genoa & I only heard the noise of the collision as my crew watched Tumult ride up Seaqueaster's reverse transom. Fortunately, we were well enough to windward to avoid them and the numerous boats converging on the mark. Following the rounding with another bear-away set and a jibe to port at the first opportunity, we had good run to the finish, almost catching Tumult (w&w w/o spinnaker) at the finish.
Our elapsed time exceed that of the whole fleet (34 boats), yet we corrected to 14 and finished 4th in class. Though it would have been 5th had MiniMaxi not made their error. Would we have faired better not splitting with the class at the start? Maybe!

"What Do You Stand For? Getting Back America's Integrity"Lichtman has been writing and speaking on ethics to corporations and organizations for 10 years. His first book and talk, "The Lone Ranger's Code of the West, an Action-Packed Adventure in Ethics," not only made the process of examining ethics more approachable and clear, but fun as well. In the last several years, Lichtman has been drilling deeper into the subject of ethics by collecting stories for his new book, "What Do You Stand For? Stories About Principles that Matter." Using responses from Mario Cuomo to the Dalai Lama to a cross section of "ordinary" citizens, Lichtman talks about the principles that matter and encourages people to live up to their highest aspirations by using a practical, clear-cut code of ethical values.

I wanted to share my Great-Grandma's Home-Made Spaghetti Sauce with you today. It's my favorite & I hope it is your new favorite, too.
When I was a little girl, living in Pennsylvania with my mom, dad, and my brother, I can remember many dinners at my Great-Grandma's house. We would to all get into the car and drive 45 minutes to my great grandma's and great-grandpa's house. They lived in the same brick row-house that they moved into when they were married.
I can remember walking up the stairs to the front door and seeing them rocking away in their chairs on their front porch, waiting for us. On colder days, I'd look through the front door to see my great-grandfather sitting in his chair by the door, watching TV with the closed-captioning on, while my great-grandma was in her tiny white kitchen, cooking dinner.
Through the kitchen, there was a door that led outback. Her backyard gives way to a hill that leads to what seemed like hundreds of stone stairs. Those stone stairs led to the train tracks. I always loved that "adventure" of running up those stairs with my brother, excited to see what would be at the top.
(Her house is pictured below: far right).
My grandmother wasn't Italian, in fact, she was 100% Irish, but she married an Italian man, and she was proud to tell everyone that she could "Cook better than any Italian woman" and she was right… her dinners were fantastic. Her sauce was the best, and I still make it today.
As a busy mom, I usually make quick meals, but sometimes I want to create those meals that "feel" like home. I want our kids to walk inside and smell the smells that remind them that Mom is cooking dinner because she loves them. I want to have those recipes that I can pass onto them when they start cooking their meals. I want to create those recipes where the kids help and learn how to make them, too.
I do, however, use a few tricks to save time.
Instead of fresh garlic, I used the jarred minced garlic. Instead of dicing tomatoes myself, I use Hunt's. Hunt's diced tomatoes are steam-peeled, which means that they peel them with steam from water, not chemicals. I know it's not the easiest way, but it's the right way because no chemical by-products go back into the earth.
This recipe will only take you an hour, so a little longer than my normal meals, but it's worth it. Trust me!
- 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 chopped small onion
- 3 crushed cloves of garlic
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 (12 ounces) can of Hunt's Tomato Paste.
- 2 (28 ounces) can Hunt's diced tomatoes (I use one can of Hunt's petite diced tomatoes and one can of Hunt's regular diced tomatoes).
- 2 (15 ounce) cans Hunt's tomato sauce
- 2 cups of water
- 3 teaspoons dried basil
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup red wine
- Brown meat and Italian sausage (break it up as you stir it)
- Add onions to meat mixture and continue cooking. stirring occasionally until onions are softened.
- Next, add your Hunt's diced tomatoes, Hunt's tomato paste, and Hunt's tomato sauce.
- Next, mix in the spices, sugar, and garlic.
- When the sauce has started boiling, add your wine and water.
- Simmer on low (stir often) for an hour.
If you want to cook the sauce a little longer, that works, too! Sometimes I'll let it simmer for 3 hours or so.
I just add another 1/2 cup of water to keep it from getting too thick. (be sure to keep an eye on it to prevent it from burning).You can use this sauce on pasta or in lasagna. It's really the best sauce… I know because I have one child who doesn't like red sauce, but this one is approved by him. 🙂

"Deer strike near Warrensburg, MO did about $4K in damage... One week after CARSTAR Blue Springs got it, you can't even tell it happened. Thanks for making my truck look brand new again! " - Ron
"Kc Auto Carstar is the only place that I would ever take my car to be repaired. I have used their service for at least 5 different car repairs and can honestly say that my expectations have been exceeded every time. The staff is wonderful also. They are courteous and helpful and go out of their way to make sure you get the best deal. They care for your car and they care for the customer. I would recommend KC Auto Carstar to my family and friends without hesitation. THANK YOU KC Auto Carstar for your outstanding service." - Teresa C.
"Having your car damaged in an accident is never fun and your thoughts are here's comes another hassle. A friend of mine took his jeep here and they were excellent. His insurance company recommended them. Pros with personality. Excellent service. In this day and age we all have cell phones so take pictures of both or all the cars and I would even recommend their insurance information. When you start the process you can upload your pictures to them and will give you idea at what you're looking at. And if you have an accident, you can have your car towed directly to them. Great communication. They and the insurance company made it a stress free situation. " - Rick L.
"Company Spotlight!
Some of you may have heard that our van was hit in the parking lot at Ocean's of Fun a few weeks ago. We had it towed to KC Auto Carstar and they totally took care of us! The first time estimate they told us was that our van would be done July 19th - the day we are scheduled to leave for a long road trip. I'm sure you can imagine that this could have meant a ton of extra stress to heap onto an already stressful time of packing up for a trip. Jason asked them to have it done by July 16th and they went out of their way to get it done for us! We also needed to get some maintenance done and replace the windshield prior to our trip and they helped us get all of that done/coordinated while they had it! All we need to do now is get new tires and we are good to go. Thank you KC Auto Carstar! You took a bunch of stress off our plates for this week!" - Jennifer L.
"I could not believe the tremendous service. The parts were on time and the repair was accomplished in three days. I have never experienced such 5-star treatment from an automotive company." - Y.J.
"It was a real pleasure not only working with you but my car looks great! You all seem to go the extra mile and I want you to know how refreshing it is to me. Thanks so much." - D.B.
"The CARSTAR people were very pleasant and professional. I especially appreciated having my car cleaned before being returned to me." - C.H.

Hello! I am trying today this ingenious technique by Jennifer McGuire (really, which technique by is her is not!?!) And this is the card I made –
Although I had the links and video, I made this card by memory, and made a tiny mistake. Instead of letting the card air dry between colors, I heat dried it – this didn't let the colors blend, and instead of a pretty color imbibed kinda look, it became dotty!! Not what I wanted!! I had to mist it before proceeding to add more color, since the misting blended the inks a little too much! 😉
So, anyway, the stamps I've used in this card are Paper Smooches Bold Buzzwords, Calico and Twiggy Florets, and heat embossed them in clear. I then used distress inks for this technique – Tattered Rose, Victorian Velvet, Shaded Lilac, Dusty Concord, Pumice Stone, Rusty Hinge, Brushed Corduroy and Walnut Stain.
Finally I added some Deco Art Glamour Dust Ultra Fine Glitter Paint in gold in all the 'holes' and then added a few dots of gold stickles like enamel dots. Again, maybe I shouldn't have added the dots in the flower centers.. 😀
Conclusion: I love the technique – I absolutely don't mind getting my fingers inky, more so when I know I can easily get it off!! So, I am definitely going to try this one again!! One more thing – it looks even better if the paper used has some toothy texture – mine was less toothed, so there's not much texture – you can really see the texture in Jennifer's cards – they are just fabulous!!
I am submitting this card to the Paper Smooches October Challenge: Fall Color Story –
Thanks for stopping by! 🙂

Are You Planning On Buying Instagram Followers? What Will Happen If You Do?
Make your Instagram following a bigger number than you have ever hoped for by following honest and thoughtful strategies such as sharing great content, setting smart goals, and engaging your audience. There is a darker side of Instagram marketing that you can take in case you are looking for an easy and quick path to gain followers.
This article will be able to show you the path where you can buy your Instagram followers.
We have actually made a dummy account in this site just to test if this strategy is useful or not and if you must know immediately it is actually very useful if you want spambots as audience in peddling softcore adult video now!. If you want to know the "how" and "why" of this experiment, this article will be able to provide you with all the details about buying Instagram followers review and more, but if you do not have time for that, then you can go directly to the results of the experiment here!
Why should you buy more Instagram followers?
Some politicians, celebrities, brands, and influencers are adding these fake followers so that people will be able to notice their social media stats, if you like to know more you can view here for more.
Is there really a need for them to do it?
This is all because the perception of others is important. A common metric that brands use to measure the Instagram efforts that they were able to do is being identified by the number of followers that they were able to acquire since people will definitely look at how popular the brand is depending on the number of followers that the Instagram account will have.
Since anything is possible these days, if you really want to speed up your game, you can buy Instagram followers to make your brand look as popular as it can be so that there will be more people who will gain their curiosity to the brand. Even if it is true that quality should be above quantity, this would not be very applicable with your Instagram account since many people will surely check the number of followers first before they are going to check your brand.
Making this happen will only cost you less amount of money and it is very easy to do that is why there is not a lot to learn really if you are thinking of buying your Instagram followers.
Is there any assurance that the Instagram followers that you are going to buy for your brand will be able to provide the success that you are longing for?
Start with comparing the difference between a more loosely defined practice of Instagram automation and the explicit act of buying followers.
You can have an Instagram automation if you like a bot to comment and give a reaction on your behalf. However, if you like to choose the ill-advised shortcut that we can provide you, it would be best if you visit our post which is the 'I Tried Instagram Automation So You Don't Have To'.

First Scuba dive
Had an awesome time with Ty on my first scuba dive. He was very informative and waited for me to be comfortable during the dive. I highly recommend him. Looking forward to coming back really soon.
Kristi A
Amazing experience!
Ty is a friendly, patient, knowledgeable and professional instructor with a wicked sense of humour. The dive was 40 minutes long and it was a wonderful experience. I felt in very safe and capable hands. The price is also very reasonable indeed. Thoroughly recommend this dive.
Ipoh, Malaysia
Great refresher shore dive
We went out for a 30 minute shore dive off at the old airport beach. Our guide was very experienced and showed us a great time I. The water. He was great at giving us a refresher on the safety tips as it had been 2 years since getting an open water certificate. Our only regret was that we paid with a card and their system did not prompt for tips. Be sure to bring some cash to tip; I know you'll want to tip!!
Will B
Great experience scuba for beginners
We did a beginner scuba course in maui with in2scuba and had an amazing experience. It was my first time and my wife's second time. and Ty was very patient with us making sure we felt comfortable before going in the water as a group. he took the time to explain all the equipment and the process. once we felt comfortable and started to scuba we saw some great colorful fish and had some great photos taken for us underwater. It was a fantastic experience and Ty was a great instructor. Would definitely highly recommend Ty to go with for your first time or even if not your first time.
Baruch G
Great scuba in maui
I brought my kids to scuba in maui.. they had only just been certified a year ago and this was their first dive as certified divers.. I wanted something that was safe and a positive experience for them and Ty was all of that and more! He was great with the kids and stressed safety and respect for the ocean and nature.. we did 2 dives and he pointed out and showed us many interesting things.. we saw so many fish and turtles and we had a blast. I would highly recommend and will use In2Scuba again when we return.

Ty was great with the beginners, patient and kind. The shore dive was nice, lots of beautiful coral.

The flooding has hit about one-third of the country, leaving villages isolated. Hundreds of houses have been evacuated.
Roads, power lines and communications have been damaged by the flood waters and further rainfall is expected.
Greece, the United Nations, and other international organisations have offered assistance to Tbilisi, which is also braced for more flooding.
Gigi Ugulava, chief of the presidential administration in the Georgian capital, said the Mtkvari River in Tbilisi had overflowed its banks in areas.
"But at least there won't be rain everywhere at the same time - that gives us reason to hope," he told the Associated Press.
Aid offer
President Mikhail Saakashvili, visiting the Shida Kartli region in central Georgia, said millions of dollars would be needed to repair roads and bridges damaged by the floods throughout Georgia.
"Georgia has not faced such a great amount of damage for the past decade," he said.
The breakaway region of South Ossetia has reportedly rejected an offer of aid from Mr Saakashvili.

The Air Force has been trying to retire the jet in favor of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
The U.S. Air Force has reportedly decided to temporarily call off its campaign to retire the long-serving Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II close air support aircraft. The service finally relented because the Warthog is in high demand fighting the Islamic State terrorist entity in Iraq and Syria.
With its distinctive, even ungainly design, the Warthog is nonetheless beloved by U.S. ground forces who have come to rely on the low flying jet to provide air cover during battles with militants in Iraq and Afghanistan. But the Air Force was—until recently—trying to retire the jet in favor of the stealthy, supersonic Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
"It appears the Administration is finally coming to its senses and recognizing the importance of A-10s to our troops' lives and national security. Since before I took office and after, I've consistently highlighted the A-10's irreplaceable capabilities and worked to expose the Administration's flawed argument for wanting to retire it prematurely," Rep. Martha McSally (R-AZ)—a former A-10 squadron commander and current member of the House Armed Services Committee—said in a statement. She added:
"With A-10s deployed in the Middle East to fight ISIS, in Europe to deter Russian aggression, and along the Korean Peninsula, Administration officials can no longer deny how invaluable these planes are to our arsenal and military capabilities. But our fight does not end here. The Administration has been persistent in its efforts to send our best close air support asset to the boneyard without a replacement. That's unacceptable, and I'll continue to lead the fight to ensure we keep these planes flying until we know without a doubt we can replace their capabilities."
The Air Force's leadership has insisted that the F-35 can perform the close air support role as well, if not better, than the A-10—especially in a contested environment. However, Air Force close air support experts dispute those assertions.
Air Force sources said that there are certain missions that only the Warthog can perform. Those missions include attacking the enemy in "danger close" situations in close proximity to friendly ground forces and providing overwatch for search and rescue missions. Nor does the Air Force have another weapon that could eliminate enemy tanks from the air as efficiently as the Warthog. The A-10 was originally designed during the Cold War to counter an armored Soviet juggernaut pouring through the Fulda Gap in Germany. Indeed, the Pentagon conceded those points during an April 2015 Congressional hearing.
Despite explicit instructions from the U.S. Congress to keep the jet in service, the Air Force has gone to great lengths to rid itself of the A-10. The service's campaign went so far as to leak doctored civilian casualty numbers caused by A-10 sorties, according to one report. Moreover, according to defense sources, the Pentagon has been designing a series of close air support comparison tests between the A-10 and the F-35 that were effectively rigged in favor of the Joint Strike Fighter.
But with combatant commanders demanding the A-10's services in Iraq, Syria, Korea and even Europe, the Air Force has been forced temporarily halt its crusade. The first hints of such a move came late last year. "I think moving it to the right and starting it a bit later and keeping the airplane a bit longer is something to consider, based on things as they are today and what we see in the future," Air Combat Command commander Gen. Hawk Carlisle told reporters on Nov. 10. "Eventually we will have to get there. We have to retire airplanes."
Senate Armed Service Committee chairman Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) also applauded recent reports that the Air Force is deferring its quest to retire the A-10. "I welcome reports that the Air Force has decided to keep the A-10 aircraft flying through fiscal year 2017, ensuring our troops have the vital close-air support they need for missions around the world," McCain said in a statement. He added:
"Today, the A-10 fleet is playing an indispensable role in the fight against ISIL in Iraq and assisting NATO's efforts to deter Russian aggression in Eastern Europe. With growing global chaos and turmoil on the rise, we simply cannot afford to prematurely retire the best close air support weapon in our arsenal without fielding a proper replacement."
McCain noted, however, that the Air Force has not officially stated that it's backing off from retiring the A-10. "When the Obama Administration submits its 2017 budget request in the coming weeks, I hope it will follow through on its plan to keep the A-10 flying so that it can continue to protect American troops, many still serving in harm's way."
Indeed, until the president submits its fiscal year 2017 budget request to Congress in February, the Pentagon will not comment officially on the matter.

I was recently talking to a friend about watching our children grow up and how they have to face so many difficulties. We agreed we would like to prevent them from facing problems or stress….but then again we know they have to!! My wise friend made the statement "the best gift we give our children is resiliency". I've thought about it and have decided she is absolutely right!!
Love, nurturing, patience, sense of family, a home and education are just a few gifts parents give their children Most parents want their children to have a better life than the one they have had. Along with all the things and values parents give there are tools needed as well. The tools of hard work, self reliance, coping skills, stress management and communication skills are all necessary but there is a specific gift that parents need to give their children that is often overlooked. RESILIENCY is the ability to bounce back after adversity or to overcome a difficulty. A person is resilient when they experience a challenging situation without losing themselves. A bad event does not change the person's sense of self if they have RESILIENCY.
Here are a few ideas for increasing RESILIENCY in children:
- teach them to stand up for themselves
- allow them to solve their own problems whenever possible
- build them up if others tear them down
- be honest with them, in a kind way
- help them to develop healthy self esteem
- let them know the world is not perfect
- confirm that "its not fair" and that's ok!!
Children who possess RESILIENCY are going to be stronger in the world. They will be able to handle problems and challenges more easily. RESILIENCY allows children an opportunity to try many things without being discouraged. RESILIENCY allows them to see their failures without having to quit. RESILIENCY is a gift that will follow them into adulthood and will hold its value more than any other gift!

If I am being honest with myself and you all, I have to admit this is the first spring I feel satisfied with my wardrobe…and my approach to adding a few carefully chosen pieces to the mix. The style clarity I have experienced over this calendar year still amazes me. I know I put the time and work into it, but still. I feel as though I've been given a gift!
Although the casual cool girl vibe may look effortless, it is far more deliberate than we convince ourselves it is when scrolling through Pinterest. I feel like this is the source of so much angst and discontent among ladies everywhere. We compare ourselves and wonder how & why she looks so naturally amazing while we are still struggling to achieve this seemingly allusive je ne sais quoi. Most of us have the potential…it is just a matter of channeling our instincts, and learning to be mindful about our wardrobes…our skin, our health, etc. Everything worth having requires effort, sacrifice, and patience. Set backs and frustration are part of the journey but we must not give up!
Are you guys with me so far?
In today's post I want to talk a bit about how I experienced clarity unfolding in terms of my personal style.
When I really leaned into my love of simplicity, neutrals, and the effortless vibe, I experienced a short of style epiphany. Although it didn't happen overnight, I was very aware of the process and when my wardrobe really started to fall into place! I finally stopped fighting the urge to purchase similar pieces (you know the uniforms & signatures). I embraced what I love and started paying close attention to what always works, to the details, to fabric, to how clothes felt to the touch. I purged like crazy! I purged regardless of how recently I purchased the item, of the price I paid for it, of the label, etc. If I didn't feel my very best in it…out it went. When I place my sacks of clothing into the donation bins, I prayed each item would land in the hands of the person they belong with. With each of these decisions, my style clarity blossomed and my wardrobe began falling into place. My shopping habits changed drastically. No more settling, no more impulsive purchases. Instead, meticulous & mindful choices are paving my way to a functional wardrobe that I love.
When we take the quality over quantity approach, we obviously can not purchase all of even our short list, and we must wait longer than we like for some pieces we have our heart set on. I promise it is more than worth it in the end. There was a time when I would settle, or try to find a less expensive option and those always ended up in the donation bin. Not good. I wish I had the money I wasted on those silly purchases now. I could buy this stunning bag, slip dress and more… Grrrr.
Live and learn, right!?
Editing like a pro is all about choosing items that work seamlessly into your existing wardrobe. It means choosing pieces that you can wear with several items you already own. Also, carefully considering what you need to fill the gaps in your wardrobe is a must! All of this means taking your time, never settling, always choosing quality over quantity, and staying true to your personal style aesthetic.
Lets talk about my spring 2017 wardrobe prep…including my short list and a few additional pieces I'm loving right now. A few I've purchased, a few I'm craving in a big way, and a few I love but they are a little out of budget. I'm trying to choose only what makes most sense based on my current needs and lifestyle.
I've stocked up on jeans & cut offs over the past year or so. Also, I'm completely satisfied with my collection of button ups, crisp white tops & ts, camis, warm weather blouses (mostly lace), and casual dresses. I've been drawn to vertical striped button ups, white…lots of white, cotton-linen blends. There is not a ton of variety in my wardrobe but I've learned that sticking to what works is my key to wardrobe zen.
Lately, I notice myself focusing on shoes…and handbags. My shoes needed a bit of updating as my style has evolved. I'm craving simplicity, high quality and timeless pieces that I'll have for years. I want my shoe/bag pairings to add some dimension to my wardrobe of basics. There is nothing like a luxe bag and shoes to tie a look together.
Recently, all the shoes I've purchased are black, and then there is my Adidas superstars which I adore!
REGULAR GAL EMPLOYS PRO EDITING TECHNIQUES {laughs}
I'd like a nude bag but I think this purchase may be on hold until next spring. I found the one I LOVE, and if I don't end up getting this particular one…at least I know exactly what I'm looking for. I will not settle. I will wait. Currently, I only have one pair of nude shoes so I think maybe next spring my focus will be on the nude bag and a couple of carefully chosen nude pairs of shoes. See how this works. Here is a perfect example of the elements that factor into editing our wardrobes like a pro. In the interest of choosing the items I will love forever and ensuring that I prioritize in terms of my most immediate needs, I will most likely put the nude arsenal on hold.
1. Black pointy toe flat mules. purchased. Marc Fisher shiloh flat mule. Reason: this pointy toe slide has held its position on my spring shortlist since fall! When something sticks for a while, it is a pretty good indication that it is a worthwhile purchase. I love the minimalist vibe and the versatility of this shoe. It's great with cut offs, dresses, skirts, all my Levi's.
2. Black silk slip dress. eyeing Cuyana silk slip dress. I love the feminine elegance of this piece and it is a great choice for an LBD because of it can be dressed up or worn in a casual setting. I have a summer wedding to attend so this is another reason to purchase it this spring.
3. Linen button up shirts. purchased. H&M logg Linen-blend shirt. These are phenomenal for the price. Well made and spot on in terms of a modern cut. I snagged both the white and the striped one, and I know they will be in heavy rotation this spring and summer. I did size way up for an oversized look. H&M is tricky but there are some fabulous finds and these are a perfect example.
4. Simple light colored cross body bag. Cuyana top handled bag. See notes above for the story. I adore this bag. It is exactly what my hand bag dreams are made of. It is stunning in black also. Swoon!
5. Neutral silk square scarf. purchased. Banana Republic large silk square scarf. I love the color palette on this beauty. My one exception to the bag & shoe matching rule is using a silk scarf tied onto the handbag to pull together the contrasting elements. I can use this scarf to make my nude heels work with a black bag. Also, this will be perfect to add some detail to a basic denim and t-shirt look.
7. Black suede block heel mules. purchased. Vince Camuto Jevan block heeled mule. These are perfect. Great quality, plush suede and dramatic block heel. Exactly what I was looking for and the price is amazing (60% off) over at 6pm.com.
