Twillys are a fun way to customize and dress up your bags. So I wanted to share 8 ways to tie an Hermes Twilly on your bag handles to give you some inspiration. It's up to you if you want to tie a twilly on one or both handles of your bags. In my personal opinion, I think you either wrap a twilly around each handle or none at all. Having a twilly on your bag handles will protect the leather. Therefore, you will get inconsistent wear on your handles if they're not on both. But if you're just looking to get one twilly to decorate your bag with many of these ways to tie an Hermes twilly work great as any accessory to your bag. If you're not concerned about wear on your bag handles, I highly recommend giving these a try! And the beauty about these is you can always switch them up! They're super easy to do, and don't take much time, so on ... Read more...

Fab Finds: The Devil is in the Details
You know the phrase "the devil is in the details," well when shopping at Marshall's or even a consignment shop it's the details you should be on the look out for when scouring the racks. It can take an awful long time to find the diamond in the rough at places like TJ Maxx, Marshalls, who's racks are stuffed to the brim, Fillmore & 5th, or Afterwards, both peninsula consignment shops, but if you have an eye for detail and quality it's actually not too hard to spot a winner.

Recipe: Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi
After picking up some fresh Mahi Mahi from the store the other day I got the idea to try and make a restaurant favorite, macadamia nut crusted Mahi Mahi.

Ingredients: 5 ounces (about 1 1/4 cups) coarsely ground, roasted & unsalted ... Read more...
Exposed
I absolutely love summer, especially the weather, but when it get's too hot like it does so often in the Peninsula all I want to do is wear lightweight flowy dresses. This maxi dress that I picked up during my last trip to LA, is as soft as your favorite worn in t-shirt. It's so comfortable I feel like I am wearing pajamas but thankfully it's not pj's but rather a casual and sophisticated maxi dress. That's why, when planning what to wear to our recent weekend getaway this dress was an easy decision. I love that it's easy to throw ... Read more...
