I was back in Laguna Beach on Saturdayfor another of The French Basketeer's 
French Food Camps.
My favorite part of wardrobe stylingis always dressing for an occasionand going to Andrea's Saturday afternoon classesare always a stylish occasion!

For  Andrea's French Food Campwhich is always at her historic homeoutside on the patioI wanted a boho patio dress vibe.Romantic comfort was my intent.

I pulled out my vintage crocheted skirtpaired it with my favorite piece
my Free People tunic slipand topped it off with my Rachel Zoe ribbon weave sweater.
To keep the outfit from feeling to bulkyI gathered the bottom of the sweaterand
fastened it with some vintage flowers.
I finished my ensemble with a new crownand
 a perfectly boho backpackfrom Forever 21.

This month one of my all time favorite florists joined the group!Mary Qvale of Qstreet.
I had previously met Mary at one of Andrea's dinner partiesand was immediately taken with her  paired down sense of style.Her ability to edit out the unnecessaryand highlight what isalways has me in awe of her artistry.

Mary's restrained table top decorwas built on a linen tableclothwith white butcher paper run down the middle.Stunning arrangements of brancheswith sculptural appeal lined the long tableand were interspersed with vintage glasswareluxuriously large linen napkinsandfree floating ferns.
