Atlas World Fresh Market Grand Opening in Poway

A couple of weekends ago, I attended two events in one day. The first was the grand opening of the Atlas World Fresh Market in Poway. It is an amazing supermarket with everything from a deli, to a juice bar to an incredible Food Hall. I roamed around several times, taking in the variety of foods from all over the world, tasting samples and enjoying their fresh Juice Bar. I called my husband to let him know we needed to come back, not only to grocery shop, but to enjoy everything this amazing store has to offer, especially their bakery! Thank you Atlas Market for inviting me to your spectacular grand opening. My family and I look forward to returning again and again!

I have never seen so many kinds of honey, including actual honeycombs!

These are all made fresh in their Juice Bar!

My refreshing pineapple drink, so delicious!

The samples were so delicious, including their breads and Turkish coffee!

On my next visit, I’m going to be having a little something from their Bakery.

I’m pretty sure my husband would not know what to do with himself at the meat & seafood counter, or even the deli!

Looking for spices? Look no more!

This Food Hall was so amazing. My family and I need to come back and try everything!

Congratulations on your new store and thanks again for inviting me to your Grand Opening!

Elastic Wonder’s Kickstarter Project Revisited: The Affordable LeggingShoes™!

Last year, I posted about one of my favorite designer’s, Idil Vice, Kickstarter campaign asking for support of her version of the Pantashoes through her company Elastic Wonder (post here). Well, after a few months of trial and error, Elastic Wonder has returned with the LeggingShoe™!

“The LeggingShoes™ features a very soft sheen and an elastic waist band. The LeggingShoe™ is made in the U.S.A.

Our Stiletto shoe has a 3.75″ “ice pick” heel and once it’s covered with our spandex, it can be wiped with a soft clean cloth.”

The Elastic Wonder Kickstarter campaign has been updated to include only the LeggingShoes™ with 7 ways to contribute. In fact, there is an “Early Bird” special where you can get your own pair of LeggingShoes™ in your favorite color at a great price if you participate soon.

Let’s help Elastic Wonder get to their goal to ensure these fantastic LeggingShoes™ are funded and manufactured!

Catching Up: Spring Soirée at Kate Spade La Jolla

The day after the Kia Classic, I attended a Spring Soirée event at Kate Spade La Jolla, hosted by Conni of Art In The Find and Vanessa of Vanessa Balli. It was a lovely day for shopping, along with savoring yummy sips and treats. I’ve always adored Kate Spade because of the brand’s quirky, one-of-a-kind accessories and handbags, along with their the gorgeous classically retro clothing line. I own quite a few Kate Spade pieces (here and here), one of my favorites being the Goreski “Look Out” Glasses Bracelet (here). If you get the chance, get to a Kate Spade store to check out their latest collection, including the classic Sam collection of handbags.

Isn’t this AMAZING? These are gift boxes and bags!

I think Bjork would love these…

I need a Sam handbag in my life!

With beautiful soon-to-be-mommies, Conni and Vanessa (photo taken by @inkysnapper)

Catching Up: Kia Classic 2018

Back at it again, and I’m catching up on events as it’s been quite the busy few weeks! If you follow my blog regularly, then you will know that my husband, Deon, is not just a fan of golf, but he is an amazing golfer as well, winning eight amateur tournaments. Every now and again, we get the chance to attend a professional golfing event, and this year our first one was the LPGA Kia Classic in Carlsbad. Deon’s favorite golfer is Paula Creamer, but we missed her as we attended the second to the last day of the event. We ended up following Brooke Henderson and Lydia Ko for the bulk of the time we attended and we got to see Michelle Wie get interviewed after her round was finished. Check out the amazing picture Deon captured below!

The tournament took place at Park Hyatt Aviara Golf Club and made me appreciate my hometown even more because I feel like I’m discovering time and time again that San Diego is simply one the prettiest cities in the world. It was lovely to walk around with Deon as he is so knowledgeable about the sport, and he’s definitely in his element when he’s on the course. Here are some pictures I took at the event, and I know you’ll agree that this course is absolutely gorgeous, as was the day. Cheers!
