rambling around {my summer boots}

My last post here had a list of possible summer wedges and espadrilles. I found my shoes, and as you can see they are far from an open toe sandal or wedge, but hopefully comfy and definitely  stylish behind the chair. You like?

shoe shopping {for summer}

Did these get your attention? Yeah me too.

Today after working in high heels all day my feet ache, what a welcome relief with these lace up espadrilles.  The white ones with the bow are super cute and inexpensive.

I changed my mind, I'm all over these charlotte olympia hooker heels, and that other pair make me want to go to the circus.

What about you, found your summer shoe yet?

A busy schedule has kept me from my beloved reading so when a much deserved salon break allows me time to read at work, I'll pick up some beauty inspiration from one of my trade magazines. Travel and design inspiration lately, also seems to also be in the pages. Couldn't helped but be mesmerized by the first circus inspired tent theme of the work out room.  Spring for me is the beginning of rejoicing in outdoor living throughout sunny So. Cal. summer. With billowy coverings and colorful stripes like these, bring out the sunshine!

giving back is the new black {hartnell bridal}

thinking a lot lately how to give back and encourage a green sustainable business.

led me to this lovely lady, Hanna Hartnell she runs her bridal boutique living green

not only has her lifestyle incorporated the healthy habit by preserving the environment through conservancy organizations and planting and caring for more green trees

she even has led her animals in the act of giving back, Biscotti  is a registered therapy dog.

now that's something to shake, rattle, and role about!
