Lovely Lace

There is something so feminine and classic about lace. I have always loved the beauty and intricacy of the material, so much that I wore a gown made of the finest French Chantilly Lace for our wedding. When I came across this little dress at Swirl Boutique, I was immediately drawn to the uniqueness of the mustard embroidery details, as well as the scallop hem and bell sleeves. It’s the ideal summer dress, and turned out to be a charming ensemble for a casual evening event with the girls.

A Happy Hour Affair

Last week I had the opportunity to attend a happy hour event put on by Swirl Boutique and Salon Incognito in San Clemente. It was an evening of trunk shows featuring colorful Reuse Denim and sparkling hair accessories by Jolie Flowers (new obsessions of mine). Attendees were treated to style blowouts by the team at Salon Incognito, delicious appetizers from the Village Mediterranian Rim, and grab bags filled with goodies from shops up an down Avenida Del Mar. It was the perfect way to spend an evening with friends and getting to know some of the best businesses in San Clemente. If you’re ever in town, make sure to stop in Swirl Boutique where you can find a fabulous selection of unique clothing, shoes and accessories. You might even be able to score this adorable red dress!
