FIND OF THE DAY: Tommy Hilfiger Claire Dress
June is by far the weddings galore month. And if any of my friends are like the rest, beach-side casual-but-elegant affairs are in vogue for this season. Now, confession is in order: I hate fluffy pastel little frocks, so when I am looking for something to wear to such a sea-side reception I'm looking for something with a bit of an edge that I can wear time and time again for various other occasions. So, looking as I did I stumbled upon (no pun intended) to this Tommy Hilfiger little number:

Project Decorate Take one: Screened outdoor area a la the Hamptons
I am ready with take one on my friend's new-home-fixer-upper remodel project. (you can see the original post for the back story) Surprise, surprise! there are complications with escrow, title etc., so my friend is having her hands full, but she is in love with the idea of turning the house into her dream home. So, we have been busy going over and planing a lot of the anticipated projects (and there will be a ton of those...).
Now, my friend want to get this

Five reasons why you will wear whites all summer
It is hot and at time truly oppressive outdoors, especially with humidity being higher than normal in So Cal. I was in downtown this morning and literally I thought the asphalt was melting under my heels. And trust me there were a ton of other miserable people who were huffing and puffing (and yes sweating profusely) trying to navigate the heated concrete mess that is LA downtown at 93 degree Fahrenheit. Yes, it is the opposite of this ...

Summertime dresses to dies for
Breezes, sun, gentle swaying of palm trees, the crash of summer waves ... yep! it is that time of the year. Vacation, stay-cation, or if those are not in the cards -- just an old fashion outing with your sweetheart or besties on a coll summer evening! In my humble opinion there is no better piece of clothing that says summer fun better than a fab maxi dress.

My Dream Maxi Skirt
Well the title of the post says it all ...
Carolina Herrera Spring Summer 2014 Women

I fell in love with this skirt the moment I saw it about a year ago. While surfing the net (guilty, I spent way more time on there than I should) I just happened to see this fabulous photo of Blair Eadie from Atlantic-Pacific and I had to share it. You can see the original post here, and it is worth it!!!

Well, with all due respect to the Carolina Herrera's chosen model, there is no competition here. Real life wins all the way!!!

Black on White home decor
I just love black modern furniture against a crisp white wall!
photo found on pinterest and attributed to The Budget Decorator
the Vadbeak house by Norm Architects
Bonus points if paired with polished concrete floors and molded paneled walls as in the amazing remodel by the Norm Architectural Firm.
Decluttering by using modern black or dark brown furniture which have clean geometric lines is also a sure way to make your room look expensive, way more expensive, than it actually is. Here are some of my favorite choices of the moment ... (just hover over the collage for details)

Best Trends of Resort 2016: Edgy Black
The Resort 2016 collections are piling up and this year it is a mixed bag for me. I love a ton of them but there were some dud from people I did not expect. Oh well there is always Fall to look for, Right?!!
One trend that I do love from the Resort 2016, however, is the edgy black for summer (sorry but I had to throw in that black and white number from Philipp Plein ... it is just awesome). Leather or rigid silhouette lines paired with lace, quilted, crochet, and see-through elements —short hemlines but all done up to the neck .

Glamour by the pool
Pool season is upon us, at least here is So Cal, so it got me thinking of supermodels uber cool photo shoots, fabulous swimsuits, luxury hotels, getaways ... in essence everything you want to have and do if you were on a dream vacation, let say, at a five star hotel while relaxing by a pool that just take you breath away. So, I did the next best thing (the first being, of course, booking that vacation) -- surfed pinterest for some eye candy:
