Hi everyone,
Many thanks for all the good shoe stories yesterday - isn't it funny how a group of women can wax so passionately and poetically about their favourite shoes???
I will keep you posted on what does end up coming home with me (I always do!), but I think I will wait a little longer for both early sales and to see future offerings!
But today I want to do a trade.
Today, I want to share a couple of blogs/web sites that I truly love in the hopes that you will share your little secret places with the rest of us!!!
The thing about the interwebs is that it is so freaking huge, one could never find all of the delectable spots that exist out there! The good thing is that you are all highly intelligent (and good-looking!) people, and I suspect that your favourite haunts on the web might be oh-so-interesting to the rest of us. I hope you will be generous with us all!
I will start:
One of my favourite places on the web is A Bloomsbury Life, a blog written by the lovely and talented artist, Lisa Borgnes Giramonti, who lives in this amazing little house in California and is an inveterate traveller and raconteur. Oh and she has a gorgeous son, a good looking Italian husband, some famous friends and a witty and cozy style about her. Perfection. Today's post, How to Live Glamourously, is cheeky and fun and very entertaining...
Oh and have I mentioned that she has written for Martha Stewart Living and has her own decorating book being published in 2014? Yup, she does. If you have not found your way to this corner of the internet, pour a cup of tea and settle in for a treat.

Next, we'll for a little further up the coast in California and visit designer Tracy Porter, who has recently re-launched her company (after the devastating 2008 downturn). Now known as Poetic Wanderlust, Tracy's blog waxes poetic on all aspects of her life and family and is always a source of inspiration and beauty.
Oh and did I mention you can buy her bedding line at Nordstroms and other fine retailers? Well you can and they are absolutely lovely! And then pop over to her old site and watch the old videos she used to make - so much fun! Make sure you check out the Christmas and Thanksgiving decorating ones for sure!

Finally, let's go up the coast in Cali to visit Scott Meacham and the wonderful blog The Adventures of Tartanscot.
Oh Mr. Meacham lives in the most glamorous of spots, San Francisco, and has such a decorating eye. When I become a famous and well-paid authoress, he definitely has to do one of my homes!
Scott has THE most exquisite taste in men's fashion - he is a dandy in the truest and best sense of the word and I love to see what amazing outfits he has himself in.
He is always kind in his blog and shares photos of his latest projects.
An example of a project:
And pictures of the dapper Mr. Meacham himself:
A coincidence that I love a man in tartan? I think not...
The one thing I realized is that all three of these bloggers share their wisdom in the kindest and generous way.
Okay - my three - how about sharing at least one with us all? You will help me waste an entire evening, visiting all of your haunts!
Thanks in advance and as always, stay safe out there!
