Things are opening up! The weather is fabulous, and the economy is opening; this means it’s the perfect time to head over to Downtown Tiburon and shop local! The Perfect Provenance is my favorite local boutique. The shop is full of on trend clothing for both men and women, as well as children’s books, home decor, accessories, and the most amazing gifts!

The Perfect Provenance is full of artisan candles, luxurious fragrances, vacation-ready handbags, jewelry from local designers, and some products which directly charity. There is a little bit of everyone in-store, love that!

I picked up luxurious soap for my Mom for Mother’s Day. As you can see in the photo at the top of this post, the soap is made in France, and has the most amazing scent. I chose “Lavande” for her since she is a huge lavender fan. I know she will love it! In addition to the soap, I also picked up fragrance from Veronique Gabai, which only uses natural, ethically sourced ingredients. They also use green chemistry, and biodegradable materials. Mom will love this!

If you are looking for fragrance, and/or candles for Mom, The Perfect Provenance has something I am sure she will love.

Oh, and speaking of products with a cause. . .

On the surface, this look like a trendy tee with the word “Peace” written on the front. Underneath it all, this tee is anything from ordinary; in fact, it is extraordinary and special. alivia is an extra special brand, which takes inspiration from autistic artists. Everything from the art to the stitches was hand-made by autistic artisans. In addition, 10% of sales goes back to the artist’s non-profit. Love that! This tee is a must-have for summer. It will look so cute with shorts and sandals. They also make sweatshirts, masks, and scrunchies. Love!

I am loving all the fabulous straw, woven, and natural fiber handbags we are seeing this year for the summer season. The Perfect provenance has a plethora of beautiful summer bags in stock right now, as we speak. I know they won’t last long! This one in the photo above is perfect for a beachy vacation, or day-to-day summer life. Love it!

If you are local to the Bay Area, be sure to pop into The Perfect Provenance this week and find something special for Mom. Or, you can always treat her to brunch at Sam’s on Sunday, and then walk across the street and let her pick out anything she wants from the store! I know I would love that on Mother’s Day!

Not local? No worries! You can shop everything you see here by either calling the store, or shopping directly from their website at ThePerfectProvenance.com.

One of the things I love about The Perfect Provenance is that they have several products which directly benefit Operation Smile. This tee below is new and special for the Tiburon store. Love that is says “Smile California,” You can learn more about the collection online here.

I hope you find everything you need for Mother’s Day! Have a fabulous Mother’s Day and thanks for stopping by!

XOXO

Can you believe April is almost over? Where did this month go? It really flew by!

Spring is in full swing, and we are not only shopping for the “right now,” we are looking forward to summer, and all the excitement it will bring. This summer, those of us who are vaccinated will be able to shed our masks outdoors, and attend more events and activities than last year. In addition, things are opening up for everyone; vaccine or not. We can safely travel again, and get out of our homes; which have started to feel like prisons!

I am looking forward to a beach vacation this summer, and rocking this straw tote all the time! In addition, I am looking forward to wearing outfits other than loungewear and sweats. Love that! I assume you are too?

That being said, we all need at least one fabulous handbag for the summer, square toe slides, and espadrilles to get through all the fun we have planned this summer. We need clothing too! Stay tuned! I will be covering summer clothing later this May!

Can you believe another week went by?! Time is flying by so fast now that the kids are in hybrid school, and things are starting to open up! I am feeling like my days are busier, and time is just flying past me! Are you feeling it too? It makes me happy. Time flying by is a signal that things are moving back towards normalcy! Love that!

This week our shopping habits are reflecting this trend towards normalcy. We are seeking more clothing items, shoes, and handbags we can invest in, and use on a daily basis. I love these classic, chic, and very usable IT bags. Flat espadrilles are perfect for warm weather, and the flat, closed toe style of this espadrille make them easy, everyday shoes, which are soft, comfortable, and great for doing a lot of walking in. Love that!

SALE ALERT! In case you missed it, I posted about some fabulous spring sales on Tuesday. Click here to read all about them! Also, SOMA is having a Mother’s Day sale!

California is planning to lift covid restrictions on June 15th. While we will still be wearing masks, the majority of our economy will be open, and most of us should be vaccinated by them. This means we can travel in-state this summer! Yay! Do you have any travel plans? I am working on some right now, and will defnitly share them with you!
