pretties.
Just a few little pretties that I'm currently coveting. Everyone keeps raving about turkish towels, and I think it's about time to add some to our home. This brass cuff is a definitely must. It's handmade in Kenya and it is just pure beauty. Enjoy shopping (pssst, I also think these items would make the cutest gifts).
new zealand.
This weekend we met up with friends at the Ferry Building. I truly love the hustle and bustle of that place on the weekends...so filled with energy. After eating a quick bite, we headed down to this amazing New Zealand pop-up restaurant, Waiheke Island Yacht Club. When G and I went on our honeymoon to New Zealand, we visited Waiheke Island with these same friends! So it was a treat to hang out at the San Francisco "version" with them. Here are a few photos from our visit to the island three years ago. Waiheke is just a short ferry ride from Auckland and it is absolutely breathtaking. I'm craving a trip back.

wander.
Wow, this week was jammed pack for my husband and me. We are very excited to have a bit of down time this weekend (but not going to lie, we also have a few fun plans with friends). I'm very much looking forward to wandering about with my husband. Any exciting weekend plans for you?

h&m online.
YAY, as of today, you can now buy H&M clothes online. What what?!? While we have several brick and mortar H&M stores within easy driving distance, I always love when a store opens up to selling online. They tend to offer more styles and of course it's easier to scoop up hard to find sizes. So, here are a few of my faves from the new online store!
dark side.
And as I continue my love affair with an all black ensemble, these two beauties need to join in on the fun. I seriously can't stop thinking about these fringe pants. And these cutout booties are gorgeous. Ugh, now the question is, what must I part with in my closet to make some much needed room.
hair + clothes.
My go to look is usually hair down and a white maxi dress, but I have been trying to change it up a bit this summer. Instead trying out new hair styles...hello top knot {1} and my new favorite, the low bun {2}. I've also been sporting some all black ensembles {3} which is way out of my normal comfort zone, but I may now be a total convert. And I recently purchased this hat from The Oxford Trunk that I've been wearing non-stop {similar to 4}. Don't you think that it feels really good to change up your every day wardrobe routine?
travel.
Just been day dreaming over here about far away travels. Morocco has always been high on my list, and I do believe that this hotel is calling my name. And while a journey to Africa may not happen right away, a quick trip down to Big Sur is always a must. The beauty of that place is stunning.
