Hi Everyone! I’ve just gotten back from a quick trip to Richmond to visit my daughter and little granddaughter Stella! She’s growing so quickly and seems to change by the minute! She’s smiling and laughing and really getting quite a little personality! I got to keep her for a while yesterday while mom and dad went out and ran errands and it was the sweetest time! I feel so blessed to have 4 beautiful grandchildren!

On the way to Richmond, I met my friend Lisa Richey for lunch at an amazing restaurant in Raleigh called Bida Manda. Bida Manda is a Laotian restaurant and very delicious! I’ve never really eaten Laotian food but can’t wait to explore and learn more about this cuisine and culture. I highly recommend this restaurant if you’re in the Raleigh area! I’ll definitely be back as soon as possible!

These pictures were taken at the Proximity Hotel in Greensboro, NC…it’s one of my favorite hotels and they also have a fabulous restaurant called Print Works. The Proximity was named after the the Proximity Mill which was a cotton and sawmill in the 1800s. The restaurant was named after the Printworks Mill. These names are nods to Greensboro’s rich textile history. It’s such a pretty hotel and the food is delicious so we decided to take some pictures and then eat lunch after!

I’m wearing a gorgeous cashmere sweater and trousers from Brochu Walker. I started working with Brochu Walker last year around this time and they have truly become one of my favorite brands! The clothes are timeless, well made and elegant and pieces that I reach for again and again!

Brochu Walker makes the most luxurious cashmere and I’ll be wearing this sweater nonstop until the weather gets too warm. The camel is such a great color and it also comes in a beautiful ivory color…it’s so elegant! The pants are a linen/cotton blend and so versatile! I have the same style in a brown faux leather and I’ve worn them often! I’m such a denim girl and these pants have a denim look but a trouser style which I love! I added my favorite Veronica Beard booties (I’ll wear slingbacks when the weather gets warmer), my Louis Vuitton tote and a chunky gold chain (similar here).

Baldy and I are off to Florida on Tuesday and I’m very ready for some sunny skies and warm temperatures!
