<\/p>\n 1. DOLCE AND GABANNA GORGEOUSNESS. I was recently in the store and all I can say is I am so glad I am not a 4 , otherwise I would have had to sell my house to afford all the magnificent frocks I was fainting over…OMG they were all sooo beautiful. The one and only time I was happy to be ” a few sizes up from there”:) But the blue and white beauty stopped me in my tracks, how beautiful are these…..<\/p>\n If I was doing a summery wedding I would all my bridesmaids take their pick of one of these beauties!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2. INSTAGRAMS OF INTEREST Oh boy, so? much to love this week.? The beauty and inspiration was off the charts, I had a hard time stopping myself. But there are this weeks “winners” though there were many many more:)<\/p>\n \n 3. A NAPA VALLEY SOIREE,? I PLAN ON GOING TO NEXT YEAR! The annual Festival del Sole looks like so much fun and? I would love to get a few couples together to go or make it a girls trip, and head to Napa!? Friends of ours were at a wedding not far so took a little side trip and attended one of the days (it’s a 10 day event).<\/p>\n Anything that involves beautiful dinners at famous wineries, an opening night? cocktail party at Opus One, Kevin Spacey rocking the house and amazing wine at every meal….all that against the majestic Napa Valley backdrop, I am so there!

I have shared before how much I love espadrilles, I own the Chanel pair which I love but they have a snug fit, got these a few weeks ago and they fit so perfectly and are probably them most comfortable espadrille I have worn (and I have tried a lot). These are from Gucci, not crazily priced and soooo comfortable and look really chic on. Click here to find out more……<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n 5. A DESIGNER WHO DOES DORMS. Yes that is a mouthful and yes it is true. Dawn Bishop is a designer who….you heard right, specializes in dorm room decor. I never knew this niche market even existed:) But I must say her rooms are impressive and looked NOTHING like my own kids rooms (of course they are boys so truth be told they really didn’t care lol)…….if your child’s dorm room needs a decorators touch then click here to visit Dawn Thomas to the rescue:)<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n 6. MY GORGEOUS NEW TOLE! I am over the moon about my new chinoiserie tole pieces…exquisite. They are such classic pieces that will stand the test of time and naturally I had to find a few places in my own home for some of these beautiful pieces! They are under promotion right now as of yesterday (ends tomorrow), click here to view.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n 7.? A BEACH PARTY. Last night went to such a fun party at a dear friends, it was a hot steamy summer night (though cooler by the ocean) and this friend never disappoints, her theme was “Jaws” and from the invite to the take home favors of Jaws t shirts and cookies, it was a wonderful well thought out much enjoyed evening:) A few highlights….<\/p>\n You have to have a raw bar….yum!<\/p>\n All the waitstaff were dressed like this….cute!<\/p>\n A Even one of the fruit trays carried the Jaws theme over:)<\/p>\n No beach party is complete without a live band who played classic rock and Jimmy Buffet hits….fun!<\/p>\n A few of her family members were? celebrating birthdays this month, so she had this almost too pretty to cut cake made<\/p>\n Adorable!<\/p>\n![\"10136-CalligraphicDesignElementsSet1_2-1024x215-300x631121\"](\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/10136-CalligraphicDesignElementsSet1_2-1024x215-300x6311212.png\")
