Golden Slippers

TOM's Gold Glitters will jazz up any summer outfit without sacrificing comfort. Plus, with their One for One program, with every pair of shoes you buy a new pair goes to a child in need. Fashionista plus philanthropist ... need I say more?

USA... USA... USA...

I almost didn't write this post because it pains me to remember the events of the Ghana vs. US World Cup game on Saturday. But aren't these jerseys the cutest gift for a guy in your life... be it your dad, boyfriend or brother? As I remember they did look pretty good on Landon.

Country Biking

I forgot to mention that we rode these adorable bikes to the wineries. Can you tell that I am reminiscing??? Meeting with the invitation lady today. I think we are going to make our own logo to stamp/ emboss everything with. Will post when it is finished. Very excited!
