Hello! I wrote this post a couple of days ago knowing that we would be in the air on Saturday and then hit the ground running in Madrid on Sunday. Right now, we are probably meeting with the priest who will perform our daughter’s wedding. So, you know I needed help with under-eye bags! I want to tell you about what I brought, Cindy’s new home, a beautiful toss pillow staple, and more. Time for Five Faves with Annie and Cindy!
Help With Under-Eye Bags
Matcha GreenTea Under Eye Patches were recommended by my future son-in-law, Luca. Which I thought was funny at first…but he’s right! These gel eye masks provide a soothing effect.
I find that they help minimize my undereye bags. I can’t say that they get rid of my dark circles…but my concealer helps that.

What To Watch
Speaking of Luca, this is a cute movie on Disney Plus. Luca reminds me of our Luca as a little boy (ALREADY calling him our Luca). “Set in a beautiful seaside town on the Italian Riviera, the original animated feature is a coming-of-age story about one young boy experiencing an unforgettable summer filled with gelato, pasta, and endless scooter rides. Luca shares these adventures with his newfound best friend, but all the fun is threatened by a deeply-held secret: he is a sea monster from another world just below the water’s surface”.
We even watched it without any kids!
Cindy Hattersley’s New Home
The week before last, I had a fun stayover at Cindy Hattersley’s new place in Salinas, California. She has done so much to it. It’s got great bones and it will be fun to see what else she does with it!
What to Wear – Spanish Fashion – Maxi Skirts and Dresses
On Instagram, I was checking out Spanish fashion influencers for what to wear on our trip…and discovered that we have a lot in common. Did you happen to check out my Summer packing list for two weeks in Europe?
This is Maribel on Instagram. She has a cute feminine style.
Here is the link to her straw bag. “Tapping into the ever-enduring basket obsession, LOEWE presents its signature interpretation of the coveted summer silhouette with this Pochette bag. The raffia accessory is accented with butter-soft leather trims, including the ubiquitous Anagram patch and a versatile crossbody strap.”
I think I need white sunglasses 🙂
Solid Pillow That Works
Sometimes you need a solid linen pillow to freshen a spot like a sofa or a chair. “Meet “the little pillow that could”. In colors that are easy to layer, a solid foundation for endless pillow combinations”. I like the ivory fringe and it comes in coastal blue, dark blue, deep yellow, and rust.
Let’s check out what Cindy and Annie have for us!
Satisfying career, wonderful marriage, great children, in-laws and grandchildren, but of all of these, working with Classic Casual Home has been THE best! I am humbled by the generous words of support and encouragement I have received from so many of you and from unexpected folks as well. Thank you CCH and Mary Ann.
Let Mary Ann know what you want next: soup, entree or desert.
Love, Walter
You are so loveable, Walter. I will reach out to you again!
This post makes me want to take a vacation. Best to you and your family on what will be one of the best memories in your scrapbook of life.
I am loving Cindy’s new home. She has such a great style and it looks like a wonderful place.

Such beauty on your blog! Best wishes for wedding bliss.
Your son-in-law to be is off to a great start … anyone that can recommend good beauty products is welcome in the family. Cindy’s new home is so light and bright … of course she’s already turned it into a Instagram-worthy dream. Wishing you the best in your role as MOB … happy happy! xoxo
Hi Mary Ann
I know you are basking in the sun in Spain right now. I hope you all are having a wonderful time. Thank you so much for featuring my house. I need to check out that Disney movie for Summer!
I’ll be thinking of you for the next 2 weeks as you travel the roads of Spain. Of course you’ll see wonderful things and go fun places but undoubtedly the highlight of your trip will be witnessing your beautiful Alexandra marry her true love, Luca. I can’t wait to see your photos of the wedding and all the things you did. Have a fabulous time.
Hope you all have a wonderful wedding day.
