This Friday my friends at Studio B are hosting a lecture and book signing with style icon India Hicks.  The event is FREE and runs from 3-5pm at the Rosemary Beach Town Hall.  I'll be there with bells on, and hope all my local friends will come out to join in the fun!!

Also this weekend:

Digital Graffiti at Alys Beach!  Some clients emailed today to let me know they bought tickets for Chance and I to attend… so thoughtful!  (thank you!)  I cannot wait.  (I missed it last year.)  The architecture in Alys Beach is all white stucco… so when artists from around the world are given the opportunity to display their art projected on the amazing architecture – they come out in droves!

Also this week… Thursday & Friday my girls at Willowin Rosemary Beach are hosting a Trish McEvoy event.  Two of the top Trish McEvoy make-up artists will be in the boutique doing make-overs.  I've never had my make-up done.  Not for high school prom.  Not at the counter in the mall.  Never.  So, when Cindy emailed to extend the invite I was elated.  I am looking very forward to the event!

Email the Willow girls for more info and to schedule: boutique(dot)willow(at)gmail(dot)com

So, if you are local or are looking for a reason to escape to my neck of the woods this weekend… these are great reasons to go for it!

On a side note re: local happenings.  I receive a lot of emails (multiple times a day) about folks coming to this area… wanting to know about babysitters, where to stay, where to eat, where to shop, and the list goes on.  The VERY best resource for all this info is South Walton Scene.  Jill Gaupin who is the editor of this site is the most informed person in South Walton… check out her awesome website here.  South Walton Scene is also on Facebook… look for "Talk South Walton".
