i love living out of a suitcase. having just a few choices of what to wear makes getting dressed in the morning so simple. whenever i travel, i always vow to clean out my closet the minute i get home. less is definitely more.
have you ever smelled daphne ? it is the most fresh lemony scent ever . . . my studio has never smelled so good.
i just saw the DAVID HOCKNEY exhibit at the de young museum and was completely blown away. it was fabulous. of course, my favorite part was his sketchbooks. i always love looking at artists sketchbooks. so. inspiring.

bocas del toro, panama.
i was hoping to find panamanian sea glass on this trip, but i was surprised to find ZERO. instead, i found a LOT of coral. i became obsessed with the bounty of beautiful coral washed up on the shore.

flying over the caribbean side of panama.
this is where we stayed on playa bluff beach in bocas del toro, panama. the most amazing landscape ever. the rain forest jungle comes right UP to the beach. the clearness of the water and the colour of the sand are completely stunning and so inspiring.
this is what is known as the “panama hat” . . . though they are actually made in ecuador. during the panama canal construction thousands of these were shipped to panama from ecuador for the workers to wear. when theodore roosevelt wore one of these hats on camera while visiting the panama canal construction site, it quickly became a fashion icon and then known as the “panama hat.”
this is the actual panamanian hat. these are made in panama and unlike the “panama hat” (which is woven), these are braided and then stitched together. really well made ones can actually hold water. this is the hat i bought in panama. i found it much more unique and stylish and i got SO many thumbs ups from the natives because of it.
