Friday Find :: Truffle Clarity Pouch

Summer vacations, beach outings or simply lounging by the pool. Summer months have us all on the go!  Keeping beach bags, suitcases and purses organized in a stylish way can be a challenge, but not anymore! Clarity Pouches by Truffle were designed to be highly functional, versatile, reusable and stylish.  The see-through pouch comes in two sizes and an array of colors to fit your needs, while the modern, high quality design compliments the chicest handbag.  For frequent plane travelers, the Petite Clarity is TSA approved size for carry-on making getting through security less stressful.

Recently I published beach bag essentials, but overlooked one very important piece. The sweet folks at Truffle noticed it too and sent me some pouches to try for myself.

Well, I am completely sold. As you can see the petite Clarity Pouch is a perfect size to hold the little items that otherwise would get lost at the bottom of my large handbag. (and yes, I think a small child could fit in this handbag!)  So if you are looking to make your handbag, carry-on luggage or beach bag effortlessly organized, while still looking super stylish, you will have to consider a Truffle Clarity Pouch.

Happy Friday and Happy Organizing!

Heading to the beach soon? Me too.

There’s nothing better than catching some rays, reading a book or simply taking in the sights at the shore. Keeping your beach visit relaxing means being prepared for the elements (sun, water, wind, etc.), so it’s important to pack accordingly.

With that said, here are a few fabulous beach bag essentials:

GIVEAWAY :: Personalized + Durable Labels by KiDECALS

With summer camps just around the corner, it’s time to start labeling sweaters, backpacks and water bottles. But, I didn’t want to use just any old label. That’s why when the folks at KiDECALS asked if I wanted to try their personalized, durable labels, I jumped at the chance! I selected a fun, colorful chevron pattern and personalized it with our family name & email. This way if items get passed down to other kids in the family, the label doesn’t need to change.

San Francisco Decorator Showcase 2013 :: Dressing Room by Shelley & Co.

Now that you’ve seen a Sneak Peek at the 2013 San Francisco Decorator Showcase, I know you want to see more! Today we will be taking a tour of a small, but  highly functional coveted space; the walk-in closet.

The Dressing Room, just off the teen girl’s bedroom was designed by Shelley Cahan of Shelley & Company Interior Design. It’s très chic! And believe me, no detail was overlooked!

“This dressing room is a nod to the glamour of a bygone era where getting ready for dinner was an extravagant routine in itself.” – Shelley Cahan

beautiful walk-in closet design

The luxurious custom closets by SOZO Studio are upholstered in a gray herringbone fabric. The soft touch is really a juxtaposition to the masculine pattern. It’s a lovely touch. The white upholstered chair designed by Ironies is layered with colorful ikat and needlepoint pillows and a burnt orange throw.

The black and white geometric wallpaper (Kravet) is paired a crisp white Roman shade with a timeless Greek key trim.

Don’t you just love this intimate, glamorous dressing room? I know I want one 🙂

Happy Friday,

Cristin
