Getting Lost in Morocco

For inspiration on our latest European shopping trip, we wanted to stretch ourselves outside our French comfort zone.

Checking In | El Fenn

El Fenn is an Elsie Green favorite. Since Sepi visited in 2019, it has slowly worked its way onto the travel wishlists of all of the EG shop girls. And to those of us who have made the journey, it was well worth it.

Checking In | Thacher House

Thacher House and its idyllic Ojai backdrop, petite cottages, and limited cell service were exactly what we needed. When you book, know that you will be truly "off the grid," but learn to embrace it. Sip your lavender lemonade, take a stroll through the gardens, and breathe deep.

36 Hours in Ojai

Recently I planned a whirlwind road trip with my daughter Katie and my sister Lisa to Ojai and Santa Barbara.  We hit the road on Friday afternoon and returned on Sunday night. So we had to be strategic.  As always, our priorities were to eat well, drink well, learn a little about the area and leave inspired.  Simple.

Steal My Sources | Laurie's Favorite Sources for Inspiration

I believe I am one of the last living catalog people.  I was working on catalog layouts and photoshoots when blue line meant writing on the proofs in blue pencil because the camera could not see the blue markings, when cut and paste was a literal term, and when a polaroid was taken of each image and hatched inside the photographer's armpit before anything was committed to film.
