Originally published by THE SCOUT GUIDE on June 26th, 2023.
As advocates for small businesses, The Scout Guide editors are continually scouting their communities for local finds to share and celebrate. We caught up with The Scout Guide West Texas editor Claire Ramirez to find out what she’s really excited about these days. Here, she shares a few of her current obsessions, from stunning mahjong sets to the elements for a perfect tablescape.
WHERE I’M SHOPPING
Lucchese Boots | “It’s summer in Texas so that means one thing—boots! Lucchese has been making boots in our great state for 130 years and their quality and selection are unmatched. I’m currently in the process of designing a custom pair for my next launch party!”
WHAT I’M DECORATING WITH
Mrs. Alice Tablscapes | “My husband and I have been in the same dinner club for seven years and we love hosting. I recently discovered Mrs. Alice, the creator of ‘Tablescape In A Box,’ and I’m slowly collecting the perfect tablescape piece by piece.”
WHAT I’M WEARING
Colorful Beaded Necklaces from Allie+Bess | “These necklaces are a super fun way to add a splash of color to your outfits this summer. I’m currently wearing the Kaia which is green and lavender, just like the colors on my Volume One guide.”
WHAT I’M LISTENING TO
Before Breakfast With Laura Vanderkam Podcast | “I’m a big podcast girl and my current favorite is Before Breakfast With Laura Vanderkam. Laura shares in five minutes ways you can be more productive and successful before you have your morning coffee. I love learning new tips on how to work smarter and save time.”
WHAT I’M DOING
Playing Mahjong with The Mahjong Line Sets | “I learned how to play Mahjong earlier last year and I have been a consistent addict ever since. My mom, sister, grandmother, and I play together and it’s the highlight of my week. The sets from The Mahjong Line out of Dallas are stunning!”
WHERE I’M GOING
Rosewood Mayakoba in Riviera Maya, Mexico | “We’re excited to take a family trip later this summer to the Rosewood at Mayakoba. I will be sending my Volume 2 guide to the printer and jumping on a plane the next day. You’ll be able to find me poolside all week long with a drink and sushi. We can’t wait!”
WHAT I’M COVETING
Pamela Munson The Lady Bag from Nines Apparel | “I so want this Pamela Munson bag. Every time Nines Apparel posts it, it takes everything in me to not go buy it. But my birthday is in just a few weeks so hint hint to my husband!”
