This week’s Fab Five has all of that and more Nathan Turner’s I Love to Decorate has been living on my nightstand (and honestly affecting my outfit choices, more on that in a moment). If you are having houseguests for Memorial weekend Ina has done it again with great recipe options. , and I may have a new television obsession courtesy of the Dutton Ranch. Grab a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and let’s chat about Sunday Fab Five: Nathan Turner’s I Love to Decorate and This Week’s Obsessions This is a good one.
Sunday Fab Five: Nathan Turner’s I Love to Decorate and This Week’s Obsessions
Nathan Turner I Love to Decorate
Nathan Turner’s I Love to Decorate is everything I believe good decorating should be, relaxed, collected, and utterly California without trying too hard. His look is relatable and attainable. Love him!



Dutton Ranch on Paramount
If you were a Yellowstone fan , Dutton Ranch is the show you didn’t know you needed. Beth and Rip trading Montana for South Texas, with the incomparable Ed Harris and Annette Bening stirring up trouble as their new neighbors. Can this be bad?

Outfits of the Week
I am not normally drawn to brown or sleeveless. I admit it, but the Gerard Darel scarf was my inspiration. Throw a great scarf/wrap over your shoulders and don’t worry about the sleeves. Add a unique bag, inexpensive shell earrings, bangles, comfy Tom’s sandals and one of my all time fave hats and you are good to go!

Everything in this outfit of the week is from Target except the earrings and the scarf. I popped in to my local Target and spotted this gauze outfit and almost brought it home (brown isn’t my best look). Target has some fabulous straw bags at great prices including the one here

Ina Garten House Guests are Coming

What are the Chances of Meeting a Reader in a small village in France?
Steve and I ducked into a little restaurant in the village of La Coste one rainy afternoon. You know one of those impromptu lunches that turns into something you’ll talk about for years. The rosé was exceptional, and as it happened, the winery owners were sitting right next to us. One thing led to another, and we’d arranged a tasting for the following day at Domaine Jeanne before the check arrived.
We weren’t the only ones at the winery the next afternoon. A couple had come up from Houston, and I did a double-take when I realized the woman asked if I knew Cindy Hattersley? It turns out it was Shari Poteet, a longtime reader. We ended up chatting like old friends, and somehow the afternoon stretched to include a visit to Ridley Scott’s winery just down the road. I will never get over meeting readers out in the wild. It is so much fun, and I am so honored.

So that’s this week’s Fab Five, a decorating book that might just change the way you think about your home, a couple of outfits that prove great style is all about attitude. Ina doing what Ina does best, and a new television obsession I have a feeling we’ll be talking about all summer. As always, thank you for reading Sunday Fab Five: Nathan Turner’s I Love to Decorate and This Week’s Obsessions, and spending part of your Sunday here. It truly is my favorite day to show up in your inbox. Wishing you a beautiful week ahead, friends. What do you have planned for your Sunday?
