Over the weekend, my husband and I took the kids to the de Young Museum in San Francisco. We have taken them to the Children’s Discovery Museum, The Tech Museum, and the Legion of Honor; but this was our first trip to the fabulous de Young! It was nice to take the kids to the de Young since both my husband and I remember our own parents taking us to de Young Museum when we were kids. We love being able to pass the experience on to our kids.

My kids favorite art pieces inside the museum included the early American silver service, the early American chairs, any painting with kids in it, the civil war era fireplace, the observation tower, and Keith Haring’s “untitled (three figures dancing)” which was located outside the building. Of course, they also loved the cookies in the cafe, and the books in the gift shop!

The pictures I took, shown above, were taken from both the ground, and the observation tower inside the de Young Museum. How amazing is the living roof atop the California Academy of Sciences!!

If you are local to the Bay Area, or visiting San Francisco, the de Young Museum is a must-see! Locals and tourists alike enjoy the important exhibits, and overall experience at the museum. To learn more about the de Young Museum, please visit their website online here.

Flip flops are a mainstay in everyone’s closet during the summer season. Flip flops are great during the summer because they are easy to slip on and off, they are casual, and they are ideal poolside shoes.

There are so many fabulous styles of flip flops for the summer 2015 season. We are seeing boho-chic inspired flip flops, playful beach-vacation inspired flip flops, 1970’s inspired flip flops, and traditional rubber flip flops in both solid colors and patterns. There is definitely a flip flop for every occasion in summer 2015!

I found a few fabulous flip flops around the web and assembled them into the shopping widget below. I hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉

Chanel Precious Beige nail polish for summer 2015 review

chanel precious beige nail polish review summer 2015

Chanel Precious Beige nail polish is one of four new beige nail colors from Chanel’s “Les Beiges” summer 2015 beauty collection. This neutral and classic nail polish collection features a shade of beige for every taste. Love that!

Precious Beige by Chanel is a pale, pinkish-beige color with a very slight sparkle undertone. It is not a cream polish. The slight sparkle is so faint, it registers a 1 on a sparkle scale of 1-10. It is just enough of a sparkle to keep the nail polish from appearing flat and dull on the nail.

Chanel “Les Beiges” collection is perfect for summer 2015 since it provides a variety of neutral colors which can be paired with any color palette. Beige nail polish is also a great color to wear when transitioning from summer into fall. It’s a classic! I can see myself wearing Chanel Precious Beige nail polish in late summer and early fall; when the weather is warm enough to require summer weight attire, yet we all have the urge to wear the new fall season’s styles and color palette. Precious Beige will transition nicely during this time.

I tested out Chanel Precious Beige nail polish with one base coat, three coats of color, and no top coat. The nail polish glided on easily without streaking. Due to the light nature of Precious Beige, two coats did not provide enough coverage; a third coat was a must. The three coats are not bulky, and feel like two coats on the nail; they also look like two coats. This is key, because who wants thick and bulky nail polish! Not me!

Chanel Precious Beige nail polish is an easy color to wear. I have been able to wear any color jewelry and clothing without worrying about my nails clashing with my ensemble. Love that! I also love the fact that Chanel Precious Beige lasted a whopping six days before chipping! My first chip was more of a scratch obtained when attempting to organize a box of mixed-up legos in my children’s playroom. You could barely see the scratch. Precious Beige by Chanel is a strong nail polish!
