I found just the kimono I was searching for
in Little Tokyo.
Red with a lot of white in the design
to tie in with all of my white pants as a base
and
just enough of blues and turquoise
to be grounded and modernized
with the addition of nautical stripes.
The perfect outing for this envisioned mix
The Laguna Art Walk
of course!
The Art Walk is held the first Thursday of every month
and
one of the summer highlights for us!
We always begin the evening
at the spot of our very first date …
27 years ago …
The terrace at Hotel Laguna.
Cocktails as the sunsets … at the beach
before an evening of strolling galleries of art
pretty much
my favorite summer evenings
to be sure!
As always my friends
I wish you love and joy
as you style your life
I am sighing over all of the beauty here.
ReplyDeleteSo good to have you visit my dear!
DeleteMag-ni-fi-cent photos, Tamera ! The second one is like a very striking and beautiful painting.
ReplyDeleteWhy merci my dear! Thank you for your sweet words!
DeleteI can almost feel that gentle breeze...love how the kimono billows out when you walk.
ReplyDeleteThe kimono is truly a joy to wear … especially outside when caught by the wind!
DeleteOne word = Gorgeous! I'm not really one for one words though...that kimono is exquisite, and styled pure Tamera! My husband and I have been to Laguna Beach only once, but what a memorable day we had. A lovely lunch in a tiny hidden away restaurant that hung over the beach. And I do remember the art stores! Ah, must visit there again!
ReplyDeleteSue you are completely right … you must visit Laguna again! When you do, make sure you let me know as I look forward to the day I get to meet your sweet self in person!
DeleteWow! What a stunning look! That kimono is truly a work of art.
ReplyDeleteI woke up today happier than usual because I am so excited to see you in less than two weeks!
xoxoxo, A
Thank you my dear friend! I can't wait to follow along on your Napa event excursions the next week!! But I am most excited to see you in 12 days!!
DeleteThat kimono is absolutely glorious!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Susan!
DeleteSuch beautiful images, Tamera! The kimono is stunning and I thought the art walk meant that you were walking down the pier!! Have a wonderful weekend ahead!
ReplyDeleteThank you Pam … I know you would just love Laguna too!
DeleteWOW! That's some kimono. I'm sure it billows fabulously in the slightest breeze, feels like you're living in clouds. I really love this piece, and you wear it with the drama it deserves. I finally got you in Blog Lovin'! Now I won't miss any of your inspiring posts. Your photos are art in themselves.
ReplyDeleteOh Melanie … thank you for your inspiring words … especially appreciated from such a talented artist as yourself! I remember finding your blog years ago … and realizing for the first time … one doesn't have to look to the normal fashion avenues … to find true personal style! You my dear… are always an inspiration in my world!
DeleteYou look marvelous! Wonderful photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you my dear! So happy you are back in the blogging sphere! Your story of a young girl … truly riveting!
