Happy Sunday everyone! We are heading to the Santa Ynez wine country with our family to celebrate Steve’s 70th birthday. Before we go let’s chat about how to Find Your Zen With Beautiful Gardens and Flowy Maxi Skirts. I am joining my pals Mary Ann and Annie for our Sunday favorites.
READER’S DIGEST THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GARDENS IN AMERICA
OUTFIT OF THE WEEK
This week I partnered with Eric Javits for my outfit of the week. I love their packable squishee hat (spf 50), their super comfy (and on sale) sandals, and beautiful handbag that can be carried by the bamboo handles, or worn cross body. I paired them with a gorgeous maxi from Anthro and an inexpensive shirt from Amazon. I think this skirt would be great with a Michael Stars tee as well.

COOKING WITH LAUREN
Last weekend Colin and Lauren brought us a fabulous Mother’s Day Brunch which included this amazing Millefeuille with Fresh Berries and Kiwi from Williams Sonoma
MY WISH LIST AT ZARA
Many of you have asked for more reasonably priced items. We do not have a Zara store near us but I have ordered several items for my post with Jennifer this coming Friday which will feature color. Here is my zara wish list. They really have some great items right now at very reasonable prices.
BYRDIE STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO APPLYING MAKEUP TO MATURE SKIN
I am sometimes too lazy to watch youtube videos. I found this tutorial by makeup artist Tim Quinn in Byrdie had some great tips.

Hi Kim
We had a great time! Now I am trying to catch up!!
Hi Kim
It was great! But now I am trying to catch up!
Happy Birthday Steve!! Hope you have a great celebration!
You know what I find when I have good luck finding less expensive items – they sell out by the time people read my post!!
Frustrating!! :/
Love the skirt from Anthropolgie. The sizes are very limited. Bummer! Thanks for sharing You rock the look!
Hi Cindy,
I love the Zen Garden picture. There is something so relaxing about a location that includes flowers grown with wild abandon.
There are some great choices for summer mini vacations in your clothing selections for the week. I find that when I fall in love with a garment that is out of my price range, with a little searching I can find something remarkably similar for less.
Happy Birthday to your husband.

Cindy! I love your outfit of the week! It’s perfectly you! You really do rock a hat! Happy birthday Steve!!

I love the makeup tutorial for mature skin but had to laugh at the age of the ‘mature’ model. She can’t be over 38!
Garden view with Camelback mountain backdrop! Beautiful colors.
Absolutely love the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix! Beautiful & serene.
Hi Cindy,

How is the quality and fit of the Amazon shirt?

My shirt is old but the reviews on the Amazon shirt are good.
