Happy Sunday everyone! Today as always I am joining my friends Annie and Mary Ann for our Sunday favorites. Are you Ready for a Splash of Color in your Wedding Attire and Home Decor? Let’s chat about it.
Half Baked Harvest-Harvest Salad
We had lunch with friends at Daou winery yesterday and they served the most delicious salad. It was similar to this salad from Half Baked Harvest., what made it interesting was the Harissa Dressing which you can find here from Non Guilty Pleasures.
Outfit of the Week
I think wedding attire is difficult for women our age. I have had so many emails lately about what to wear and shoes are a problem as well. This outfit that I put together is a little unconventional, but the beautiful beaded mules from Etsy inspired me. This etsy shop has many beautiful options if you are looking for something more casual as well. The skirt is cotton from Reformation (it has pockets). I think it could be dressed up for a wedding or you could also wear it more casually with a tee and sandals. The earrings are from Etsy, the necklace is vintage J Crew. You can find similar rhinestone necklaces on eBay here, or on Poshmark here. I will have a post soon on wedding attire.
Shop the Look
Sean Symington Design
While researching last weeks post It’s Not Your Mother’s Table Skirt, I stumbled upon the beautiful work of UK Designer Sean Symington, photographed by Chris Wakefield. If you need a little color to chase away the winter doldrums, you will love Sean’s cheerful interiors. You can follow Sean Symington on Instagram here. You can also follow Chris Wakefield here.
I am not normally a fan of pink but this kitchen in Sean’s own home had me at hello.
AARP Virtual Community Center
Have you checked out AARP’s virtual community center? They have lots of fitness opportunities, cooking classes and much more.
Website Update
I have been meaning to thank all of you for your patience during our recent website update. Hopefully, you find it easier to navigate now. If you scroll down you can find all of our Sunday favorites, trending posts, and more. I am sorry about the pop up newsletter sign up. I think that was confusing at first and many of you felt forced to sign up again! I have also heard from several people that have been unable to sign up for the newsletter. Let me know if any of you are also having problems. I will look into that tomorrow.
Thank you for reading “Are you Ready for a Splash of Color in your Wedding Attire and Home Decor?”. That’s it from my desk this week. Let’s pop over and visit Mary Ann and Annie for their Sunday favorites.

Cindy, love your Sunday posts! I love Sean and have a post about him in my queue(great minds think alike). English design is my style and right up my alley. As for the colorful additions it is always nice to have a pop of color.
The wedding outfit is lovely, a so you.
Love the new blog design!

~ Hi Cindy H. It’s been a while since I posted on your site. I own/operate a busy real estate investment company and am always on the go. Regarding Fashion Over 50 (Spring Wedding) I would like to add that not only am I over 50, I’m well over 60 (I will hit the BIG 70 in early October). Having worked in the New York City rag trade and women’s retail, I’ve learnt to think outside the box. That means I own my style; it suits me. For instance, I ADORE Old Gringo cowgirl boots and wear them year round. My husband and I live in the mountains so, the terrain is rugged. Thinking outside the box, I’d wear cowgirl boots underneath my wedding gown (should hubby and I renew our wedding vows) and perhaps in lieu of a veil, a cowgirl hat–the whole outfit accessorised with turquoise jewellery. BTW, I like your new website and haven’t encountered any problems. Cheers, keep up the great work! ~

Well hello Mrs. M!
I wish I could wear cowboy boots! I have a bunion on one foot…I think I need to try mens!!
Sandra Sallin says
PS. You need to post the outfit you wore to your daughters wedding. Stunning and original!!!!
Cindy Hattersley says
Hi Sandra
Oh my gosh…it is so old!! She has been married for 12 years!!
Sandra Sallin says
You are a masterful shopper.Love your links and ideas. Always something to drool over. Now I might have to start another collection of jewelry a la J.Crew. You’ve got the best ideas. ou’re always a treat I look forward to, especially on Sundays.
Cindy Hattersley says
Hi Sandra
J Crew’s tortoise items are the best. You are a good eBay & Poshmark shopper. That’s where mine all came from!
Juliet says
Cindy! That salad looks amazing. And I love your wedding guest style ideas … I can see you in this. And those mules are the showstopper. Pinning away those Sean Symington photos. I never considered a pink kitchen … but maybe it’s time! xo
Cindy Hattersley says
Hi Juliet
Isn’t Sean Symington wonderful? I would never have the guts to do a pink kitchen but it is lovely, isn’t it? Those mules are to DIE for aren’t they? I have a wedding to go to in June, I may be wearing a version of that!!
Francesca B says
Lovely wedding look thank you Cindy. My daughter is getting married this year and l am so excited!! Have a wonderful week !
sandy says
Great post. I “liked” so many statement J Crew necklaces on Postmark after seeing this. I didn’t know they had such great pieces.
For my son’s June destination wedding I ended up choosing a Tuckernuck black dress with gold lace on the sleeves. Gold heels and a simple god chain.
It was only after ordering/returning/trying over 10 dresses.
Thank you as always for your beautiful posts.
Gray says
Good luck with new site issues. Such a pain and so frustrating. It looks amazing! I love that all the ads are gone. It will be so much easier to follow the posts.
Mary Ann Pickett says
Such a pretty post!!
Char says
Hi Cindy,
I love your block and Sundays are my favorite. The outfit of the week looks fun but the link to shop the link is not working on my end.

Cindy Hattersley says
Hi Char
I just fixed it! Sorry I sure am having issues with my links lately!!
Annie Diamond says
I am craving color, I loved that post you did in skirted tables! The UK designers do know how to do color!
Cindy Hattersley says
Hi Annie
I agree…and the Australians ala Anna Spiro!!
Kim says
Also…on mine the shop the look never comes up. I notices it on the last post too. Always enjoy seeing where to find items. Otherwise…love it!
Cindy Hattersley says
Hi Kim
I fixed it! This time it was my fault I think!!
Cindy Hattersley says
Hi Kim
This was my typo. Friday was a nightmare. I linked all of Friday’s items individually, so you can find the items now.

Hi Cindy~
Happy Sunday. I tried to subscribe again to your newsletter and I got the error message again. Here’s what it says after I fill in my name and email and try to subscribe:
Your submission failed because of an error.
Cindy Hattersley says
Hi Cindy
Did I try to add you manually? Several people have had trouble lately. I will try and add you manually. Okay! I found out what the problem is hopeully. Try again. Google has added another layer of “authenticity”. Gotta love Google. I had to verify my domain. It still would not let me subscribe you. Give it a try and let me know. I will call my email provider again if there are still problems.
