Inspiring Spring Looks in Southern California

Hello everyone! I just got back from Southern California where we spent Easter with family. Then, I met with friends and some new and old clients. Even though I flew down from San Francisco, I did a lot of driving between San Diego and Los Angeles…which has crazy traffic and is a bit stressful.

But I totally decompress when I get to my destination!

Like at Cindy’s home in Newport Beach. I love her flowering border.

Cindy’s fire pit is new since the last time I was at her house. It’s portable from Teak Warehouse and the Adirondack chairs are from LL Bean. We had drinks on her patio overlooking the bay.

This little pup made me forget all about the traffic! More of Cindy’s home here.

Then, we went to a new, vegan restaurant called Cafe Gratitude to celebrate our friend, Debbie’s birthday. This is in the adjacent take-out restaurant…love the white stools and floor.

Here is the bar…

Those three ladies below the macramé are my buddies.

I made Debbie a book of photos of her home for her birthday.

This is the front cover and flap…

I took the title off (her address) for privacy reasons. The book was made with I-photo through Apple. There were some technical difficulties (on their part) and I had to publish the book twice. But it all worked out. Happy birthday, Debbie!
