With the popularity of the Apple watch chances are that dad has one or wants one!!! If he does not already have this hottest accessory, you can buy one HERE. But if Dad does own an Apple watch a great gift for father’s day would be a brand new 22 mm watchband to fit his current watch (other sizes available as well). I have partnered with Hemsut Watch Bands to help you purchase a perfect father’s day gift. Their website is filled with many fashionable, high-quality handcrafted watch band designs to fit all brands of watches (they support around 1,000 watch bands), including many smartwatch bands. The selection includes canvas, leather, nylon, sailcloths, and alligator and other skins. One of the most popular styles is the quick release silicone watch band.
The benefit of this design is that you can quickly and easily exchange watch bands in seconds without any tools, due to the band’s quick release spring bars!! Soooo cool!!! Hemsut provides a very accurate online fitting guide to help you correctly choose from one of their hundreds of watch bands. And if you do order the incorrect size they will simply return or exchange the band and help you order the correct one. They also have a comprehensive step by step guide to help find the best watch band for certain makes and models. Hemsut is committed to delivering the highest quality watch band to their customer and help them with reaching great style with their timepiece. What more could a dad ask for???!?!!?!??
I started following the designs of Lisa Marie Fernandez when I saw Aerin Lauder wearing one of her dresses a few summers ago on Instagram. The style was so chic and had that “I vacation on the Amalfi Coast vibe”!!! I immediately fell in love. I have tried on the Lisa Marie Fernandez dresses in the stores and in Aerin’s boutiques many times and they are nothing short of gorgeous but very expensive. And, since I did not have a trip planned to Positano or Capri, I decided to wait for a special occasion to buy one. Well, I read that Target was partnering with Lisa Marie Fernandez and was going to have a line of dresses offered for a limited time. The sale went live last Saturday and I decided to wait until I received my order to post. OMG!!! The dresses are really amazing. The quality is great and each one is really beautiful. I have highlighted some of the dresses below but to check out the entire collection, click HERE.
On Saturday my good friend Kelley and I decided to take a trip to the Westport Home Goods. Since our local stores will not open for a couple of more weeks, we thought it would be fun to see what the Connecticut stores had to offer. We made it in right before a line formed (its one in and one out and masks are required). The store was pretty crowded so it was hard to get good photos. I had to snap quickly and I could not arrange the items as nicely as I would have liked but I did find a bunch of things so I hope this gives you some decorating ideas. I cannot wait to do a follow up post when our New York locations open.
This was a great smaller shelving unit…it would be perfect in a home office..
I went looking for a cool rattan outdoor table, no luck but I did find a bunch of rattan planters and candle holders. I wish I brought that one on the right home with me!!! It was so good looking in person.
I also loved the look of this standing planter, it would be great painted a fun color!
I am in desperate need of a small decorative light for the bar cart in my dining room. I fell in love with this but really wanted something taller.
These lamps were a much better option for a bar cart but they looked so good as a pair that I decided to keep looking…
I am really into the blue and white look these days..there were a ton of options…
The mirror selection was out of this world…I fell in love with this mirror…it would look good in so many places….
There were also a bunch of plastic glasses for outdoor entertaining..my friend Betsy would have LOVED those bee glasses but they only had 4..I’m on the lookout for a bigger set for her!!!!! Also, I’m dying to try the silicone stemless wine glasses..they were $8 for a set of 4!!!!!!!!
I don’t know how I passed up this oval lantern..it was fabulous!!!!
How cute is this outdoor love seat!!!???
There was something about this mother of pearl cabinet that stood out for me..it would be so great in a pool house or a beach house…
Of course you know I cannot resist an asian garden stool!!!
They had a large assortment of garden pagodas. These would also look incredible painted fun colors and placed on a patio. They also had solar lights built in…
My friend from Miami posted these cane design glasses and I immediately fell in love…they also had those beautiful pink greek key glasses.
This cane light would look perfect on a porch or covered patio….they are really hard to find so I was surprised to see it there….
There was something about this artwork that caught my eye…the photo really does not do it justice…they are polished rocks framed in a shadow box and really stunning in person…I wish I had a place for these…sooooo cool!!!!
I cannot resist a bamboo mirror either…this one was a great size…
and lastly there are no words to how beautiful this mirror was..I hope someone goes back and buys it…..

How about a Love Story that is nothing like you would expect? Then this week’s choice, In Five Years by Rebecca Serle is for you. This is one book that you will not be able to put down nor will you be able to forget…Here is the story:
Where do you see yourself in five years?
Dannie Kohan lives her life by the numbers.
She is nothing like her lifelong best friend—the wild, whimsical, believes-in-fate Bella. Her meticulous planning seems to have paid off after she nails the most important job interview of her career and accepts her boyfriend’s marriage proposal in one fell swoop, falling asleep completely content.
But when she awakens, she’s suddenly in a different apartment, with a different ring on her finger, and beside a very different man. Dannie spends one hour exactly five years in the future before she wakes again in her own home on the brink of midnight—but it is one hour she cannot shake. In Five Years is an unforgettable love story, but it is not the one you’re expecting. – Amazon.com
