They’ve done it again! Old Navy has me coveting these great pieces from their latest collection. It all started when I innocently was reading my Lucky Magazine (with Cristina Hendricks on the cover). I got to a spread on jeans and saw these… aren’t they cute? And since it’s Old Navy, they are very affordable….

Last spring my dear friends Sarah and Charles went on their first weekend trip together (alone) since having their daughter (their second child, and my goddaughter). I said, “Don’t come back pregnant you two!”… well they did! Early this year John was born…and now I have to play catch up and get going on his…

As I mentioned I spent some time on Saturday night with my watercolors. Here is something I did on Saturday night. I started with the leaves on the left…and then moved onto the ones on the right.Tonight I have to rework the “bee”…remember the “bee” from the book? Well, I need to make him a…

It’s been raining pretty much all week- not just rain, but crazy Miami summer storms. It feels like today was the first day we’ve seen sunny skies for the whole day.

Talk about summer weather in Miami! It’s been over 90 degrees with well over 90% humidity everyday. This calls for light fabrics and white jeans! Hence, my ensemble as depicted above. What’s your go to summer “uniform”?

Happy Monday!So, I “finished” the color sketch of Baby M’s- “M” under the sea. As you can see the “M” is still white, and that’s because I am not sure what to do… I did two mock ups of potential colors. I’m debating between a red “M” and an orange “M” (see below). What do…

Joyeux Bastille mes amis! It’s July 14th and today is the day that the “D” in my monogram shines…because it’s Francias. Anyhow— in honor of Bastille Day I thought I would devote this weeks Thursday Threads to the bee. Not just any bee, but Napoleon’s bee.See, the cicada (the golden bee) was first used in…
