Memorial Day Weekend Fun
Let’s join Mary Ann and Annie and kick off Summer with a little Memorial Day Weekend Fun!
Outfit of the Week
I ordered this dress for my dress post and it came late. This dress comes in several different colors. I love that you can button it asymmetrically at the waist for definition, or button it normally for a simpler look. It is a cool crisp poplin that should be comfortable all summer.

Banana Republic Dress, Taos Sneakers, Ralph Lauren Hat, MZ Wallace Bag.

Interview with Chris Durrance,: Capturing Life Through the Caregiving Lens. Chris Dorrance is working on an important documentary with Bradley Cooper on caregivers and caregiving that should be amazing.
Designer Wendy Young on Instagram
Southern California designer Wendy Young is a talented designer that has been on my radar for years. Her before and afters on Instagram are swoon worthy. You might want to give her a follow if you love design.

I have been meaning to post this delicious Heuvos Rancheros recipe from the NYT that my son-in-law treated us all to on Mothers Day. Darius added bacon which of course made it even more delicious!

Hi Cindy, A few postings ago you had talked about an air brush you use styling your hair. You had said you liked it so much you bought one for your daughter. Could you please tell me where you bought it and brand. I deleted that email that had it in it. I am thinking Walmart but not sure and also around $25.00. Could you send me the link. Thanking You in advance

Congratulations to Summer! That’s so exciting.
I am looking forward to watching the movie on caregivers, my sister is the caregiver to her husband who has Alzheimer’s. It is a heartbreaking disease for both of them.
Wendy Young is an amazing designer.
Have a fabulous week Cindy!
Omg Eliz my heart goes out to your sister. I have a dear friend who is going through the same. Big hugs for her.
Great interview with Chris Durrance on caregiving – I’ll be watching for the documentary (caregiver here). Congrats to Summer – well done! Recipe looks so good and who doesn’t love a great sale. Happy Memorial Day!
Please model your new dress!
I did today!!
I am excited to learn about the upcoming Caregiving documentary. It is the hardest thing I have ever done. I know I will learn something and be encouraged by the stories of others.
Gooooooo Summer and team. Congratulations.
Congrats to Summer … and her team! Look at that bling!!! xo
Happy Memorial weekend Cindy! Lovely post!
Darius’ moms recipe sounds and looks delicious! Go Summer and her team!!
Thanks for the introduction to designer Wendy Young!
Hello Cindy!
Thanks for an interesting post and delicious recipe.
I like that BR dress very much but hesitate because I don’t know how long it is. Where does it hit you on your leg? I wish they would put the neck to hem length.
Many thanks.
Nancy
Hi. I am thinking of trying the banana republic shirt dress. Wondering what size you took and if you thought it was the right size for you. Happy Memorial Day!
Hi Linda
I got a small and I think it is perfect.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Good Morning – Like you I have bunion issues. I am curios to know how the Taos sneakers fit concerning that problem ? Thanks
Hi Carolina

Yay for Summer!!!
I’m going to follow Wendy Young. Happy Memorial Day!
