Leave a commentAh! If we could be one place right now.. it would be the beach for Memorial Day!
Starting with a DIY pop up party tent on the beach for the long relaxing weekend via Apartment Therapy!
We would bring.. a classic beach chair from Gallant & Jones.. a light beach sheet blanket from Irieah..
And a burlap stamped beach pillow from Blue Jacaranda.. perhaps a pair of those 
We would pack the car with the sweetest re-usuable tumblers from Poppy & Pearl Co..
Stuff this handmade reed basket from Toino Abel to the brim with snacks..
And pop up this niagara tray from Gallant & Jones to start the party..
And thank our lucky stars for a lovely Memorial Day weekend 
Are you ready to go? We are.. And here are our Friday Five travel essentials! See Ya Next Week

Have you heard of these sweet gals? We love them. In fact.. one of them was our guest curator last year.. and the other two we shortly worked with for our debut launch in March of 2011.. pretty snazzy right? We think these 3 have the style, eyes, and fashion sense we can all look to for bits of advice every now and then.. and also note.. they are pretty funny. Who doesn’t love a girl who dresses well and makes you laugh? We know we do.
