friday eye candy: mens suiting

do we not love our men in a suit?

not sure about you,

but my guy is either in his work uniform

(go navy)

or in his workout clothes,
the fitness machine he is.

but 

oh boy,

mr. man had to step
up his game.

recent on-the-job travels have opened up the 

doors o' fashion for 

him and his suit section of his closet 

which is currently housing very fashionable,

circa 1995 suits and ties to match.

lovely.

after a full month of unadulterated
pure estrogen fun.

not sad.
happy

unforgettable outings
i am still smiling about.

went into one of our local malls
only to stumble upon
the grand smack opening of...
that's right,

what for it....

Tory Burch

never did i think i'd
be strolling her new digs
and checking her stuff out
not through the screen of my computer.

oh glory be.

can you say
"jack pot?"

thank goodness for my trusty
iphone camera.

throw in a little
picnik
and
voila!

look at all this eye candy...

that's right.
champagne,
baby.

and special
tory burch cookies.

this handsome gent
was offering the goodies
for the taking...

we enjoyed both.

i snapped shots of
the products,
the furnishings,
even the throw rug.

coudldn't get enough.

this is us,
giddy.

maybe i can check out
the sale rack?

to stroll?

Friday Eye Candy: Royal Wedding

You know it.
We woke up at 4am.

Had to be at a party...

this party...


Thank goodness all we had to do was
roll out of bed in our jim jams,
throw on a hat and head out our back patio
to our fantastic neighbor's back porch.

This was waiting for us.
Nummy.

Cucumber mint sammies
(no crust, of course)
Fresh Strawberries
Proper English Clotted Cream
Jam
Tea
*We humbly donated the Scones

Look at the glasses placed on the leaf?
So cute...

Miss Christin explains the food and beverage options.
Love her.

We weren't the only early risers.
This is Yvette.
She drove all the way down from Connecticut.
She wouldn't miss this shin dig!

Look at my girls.
Enthralled.


Their first Royal Wedding.

We hung on every word...

And oh, that dress!
Still can't decide which I like better,
Kate's
or Pippa's?

Donning hats,
sans make-up,
in jams.

A parting gift even?

Stop it...
Who's the best?

Miss Christine!

Tell me how you experienced the
Royal Wedding...

Will + Kate = TLA

Remember this post?

Hayvenhurst Estate in California?

I was pretty sure this was
my ultimate dream home.

Decor fit to a tee...

Not so fast, hot stuff.

We have some competition.

A bit more cozy,
quaint,
and on the beach.
Aaaah.

Grab a tissue,
this is totally drool worthy.

I love that outdoor living.

Feel that breeze?

Don't think I don't see you, Mr. Dutch Door.

I know, kitchen is a bit quaint.

But oh so doable.

Should I just park my bike right here?
