Outlander Botanical Book Set

“Shelf candy and on the wishlist of every bibliophile, Juniper Books makes the most beautiful and unique collections of popular, classic book series. If you already own the book you covet, they have the option to purchase just the dust jackets. These are true works of art.”

WHERE I’M STAYING

A Luxe Staycation

“Named by Condé Nast Traveler as a top 10 resort in the Mountain West, I constantly recommend a stay at this extraordinary resort to everyone I know. Horseback riding, fly fishing, and cross-country skiing followed by spa treatments and exquisite dining—what more could you want.”

“The perfect daytime tote, made with soft vintage fabric and fun prints, these machine washable bags go from the farmer’s market, to the beach, to yoga class, and everywhere in between.”

WHAT I’M WEARING

Canyon Dress by Our Sister

“This versatile dress is a must-have for summer travel. It packs well and can be worn on its own on hot days and layered on cooler nights. Dress it up with a heel or throw on a pair of cute sneakers for a more casual look.”

“Barbara Schilling’s pieces at Mary Williams Fine Art are so gorgeous. Her painting Meadow Wildflowers has me eagerly anticipating the changing seasons, as spring and summer hues burst into view. The bold strokes and vivid colors are a breath of fresh air.”
