shop | poppy store {marin country mart}

I was asked last week by a lady who I have worked with in the past (a very talented lady I might add) to photograph the opening of the new Poppy Store located in the Marin Country Mart. Originally, I had turned it down because I had too much on my plate... but when my schedule suddenly freed up, I was happy to hear that they had not filled the spot. Since it was a job that I was hired to do, I can't share those photos just yet... however, I will say it was such a lovely store to photograph... full of the most precious children's clothing I have ever seen. So darling, I could not resist spending part of my paycheck right there on the spot (truthfully, I could have spent my entire paycheck, plus more... thank goodness I am not having a girl!!!).

Here are some of the goodies I came home with... too cute for words.

shop | steed in st. helena

A few weeks ago I was asked by Remodelista to photograph a new store in St. Helena called Steed Fine Hoarding and Tack. Words can not describe how much I love this store (and Remodelista for the matter). I wanted to buy everything! Seriously, Dione is someone who I would happily give the keys to my house and let have free reign in designing. No questions asked. A girl can wish, right?

Here is the link to the article that was published today... and below are some of the extra photographs from the shoot.

well, the lovely ladies of alice's consignments are putting on napa's first antique and vintage flea market this saturday, may 22* from 8 am until 3 pm. finally, a flea market i don't have to get up before 5 am to be one of the first to see what the vendors have in their possession!

oh how i love anthropologie...

{ruffles + converse = happy}

last fall and all through the winter i was in love with this jacket from jcrew...what i am saying? i am still in love with it! wish i could wear it to bed...but now that spring is here (and we had two whole days of sunshine), i found myself needing something just a bit lighter. or at least that is what i told myself when i walked up to the checkout stand at anthropologie the other day.

{curio collar jacket}

how could i resist with all that cuteness? those ruffles and rhinestones...it was just waiting for me to take it home.

i also fell in love with these pieces below. but somewhere between grabbing them off the rack and walking to the dressing room, images of my basement started to pop into my head. that darn little project, which is no longer little...the one that needs doors and door knobs and waterproofing and window casings and rugs and furniture...well, it most certainly put a stop to me even trying them on.

{gleaming shoots blouse + blue book blouse}

{love this whole outfit.}
