Do you know any Rugged or Refined Father’s you’d like to gift something special to this Father’s Day? This is the perfect gift for that special man in your life– Husband, Partner, Father, Grandfather, Uncle, Brother, Friend!

Let me back up a little bit and give you a bit of Pope Watch Co. history, i.e. allow me to brag for a moment. Ahem.

Pope was started in 2013 by my husband, Perry. He worked with a watchmaker in Switzerland who aligned with his design and manufacturing vision. He designed every detail of P-70 himself. He had a cad team draft the 3-D specs, did all of the advertising and marketing for the watch up front, and Kickstarted the project successfully that same year! (Many of you supported and enable the success of that endeavor and we are grateful and thankful still!)

The P-70 is aviation inspired taking design cues from WWII era bombers and pilot garb. The watch is classic, with a large face, wide leather band, and timeless styling. The band features perforated leather and an awesome pinch clasp unlike any I’ve ever seen. I have featured the watch on my blog several times: here, here, here, here. Not because my husband is the designer and creator, not because I wanted to simply promote his company, but because I LOVE THE WATCH.

The P-70 is one of my daily watch wears. I think it looks just as incredible on a female as it does on a male. I wear the black perforated strap and the styling and quality truly set it apart from other watches!

If you don’t gift one of these for Father’s Day, maybe consider purchasing a P-70 for yourself! 😉 No shame in incorporating masculine styling and design into your wardrobe!

So here’s the thing. I don’t play golf and I probably never will. Now when I say “I don’t play and I never will” this does not mean that A) I haven’t played golf or B) that I will never shank a ball on a golf course again. Because… why not?!?

This is the final Palm Springs outfit post, and spoiler alert: These photos were NOT taken in Palm Springs. They were taken at a golf course in our beautiful mountains in anticipation of my vacation!!! When I say that I don’t play golf, I mean that I don’t play golf well. I play golf like I bowl, very poorly, with the worst score possible, with the worst form possible, with the most uncaring airs.

So when we sat at the concierge’s desk and asked about playing golf at LaQuinta, you can bet that I was basically laughing internally the entire time! Don’t get me wrong. I’m down for any adventure. Even a golf adventure, and Mel had really wanted to play. But the more the concierge spoke about the merits of the course, the famous people who had played there, and the fact that they only had 18 hole courses. (9 holes, anyone?) We about-faced from our desire to play golf.

Now hear this, I am sure that MANY of you play golf. Many of you lovely readers probably play it well. I am glad. I am glad that you love the sport, and I am glad that you relish the experience. If you ever want to take an over-dressed caddy along with you on your round, give me a shout out :)!

Golf anyone?

Last Palm Springs outfits posting this week. The sun has finally come out in the mountains and we were so ready for it!

This past weekend we hosted some fun Birthday activities for our youngest son’s B-day. A BBQ on Sunday and bowling with friends on Monday kept us going!

We have the awesome opportunity to hang out with some amazing little friends of ours this summer, and together we have also been given the chance to go to a friend’s ranch for horse back riding lessons.

We had our first lesson yesterday and honestly, it was incredible. I cannot tell you the excitement and joy on my boys’ faces just to be near such beautiful creatures. So Monday morning was spent at Circle O Ranch, and the entire afternoon was given over to slip and sliding and enjoying the summer sun. It already feels as though we’ve had a full week and it’s only Tuesday!!

This outfit (as previously noted, a Palm Springs pic) was really just cool and comfy for another pool day. The scarf is a new favorite and on sale now over at Anthropologie, here. I’ve been in this really blue mood lately. Not my emotions, just the color palate I’ve been drawn to. This week is already on a roll! I hope you’re able to roll with it!
