Dabble Feature: Dave Benbow

The July/August Dabble Mag launched today, and as I started to flip through the issue, it wasn't long before I was entranced by the comfortable and stylish home of Dave Benbow. Dave manages the LA design emporium, Mecox Gardens, and it's obvious that he likes to take his work home. I love the look Dave has created in his home - it's an enchanting blend of styles and price points in a colour palette which reflects the California landscape: Sand, Sea and Sky.

Thanks for such a great feature, Dabble!!

See You Next Week

I'm off to Los Angeles later today, and I'm leaving the old laptop at home. For random & occasional updates, you can follow me on Twitter.

See You Next Week!!

California Dreaming

Spring weather has been slow to arrive here in Toronto, so even though my closet has been outfitted for warmer temperatures, I haven't yet had a chance to wear any of my new pieces. Luckily for me, I'm traveling to Los Angeles next week on a buying trip, which provides the perfect opportunity to break out my new spring wardrobe.

I like to lay out potential outfits before packing so that I don't miss anything. I've tried to limit myself to just 2 pairs of shoes and 3 purses, since those items take up the most space in the luggage. I've done such a good job that I may be able to take the medium suitcase instead of the large!!
