When it comes to fashion in the Sunshine State, versatility is key. The warm weather and laid-back lifestyle call for outfits that are not only on-trend but also comfortable. One fashion trend that has been gaining popularity is luckily one of our favorite prints: camouflage. With its unique pattern and of-the-moment vibe, a camo dress can be a stylish choice for any occasion in Florida. So here are some tips on how to rock camo in the Sunshine State, from choosing the right piece to accessorizing for a chic look.
When buying a camo look for the sunny Florida weather, it's important to consider the fabric, palette, and overall style. Here are a few tips to help you choose the perfect piece:
Opt for lightweight fabrics: Look for pieces made from lightweight materials like cotton or linen. These fabrics are breathable and will keep you cool on hot, humid days.
Consider the color palette: While traditional camo patterns consist of earth tones like green, brown, and black, you can also find camo in vibrant colors like pink or blue. Choose a color palette that complements your skin tone and personal style. Some of our faves are the camo sandals from tried & true sandal brand Solei Sea.
Look for flattering silhouettes: Camo styles will come in various silhouettes- try different styles to find the one that flatters your body shape the most. Consider features like ties, belts, or ruching that can accentuate your curves.
Remember, the key is to choose a print that not only suits your personal style but is also weather-appropriate for our crazy climate.
Now that you have found the perfect camo outfit, it's time to accessorize your stylish ensemble. Here are some tips to help you elevate your look:
Add a statement belt: To add definition and style to your camo dress, consider adding a statement belt. Choose a wide belt in a contrasting color or opt for a metallic one for a trendy touch.
Try a denim jacket: A camo print pairs beautifully with a denim jacket. Throw on a cropped or oversized denim jacket to add a touch of casual coolness to your outfit. Roll up the sleeves for a laid-back vibe.
Rock some sneakers: For a relaxed and on-trend look, pair your camoflague with a pair of sneakers. Whether you choose classic white sneakers or opt for a bold color, sneakers will add a fun and sporty element to your outfit.
Accessorize with dainty jewelry: To keep the focus on your print, opt for dainty jewelry pieces like delicate necklaces or simple hoop earrings. These subtle accessories will add a touch of elegance without overpowering the look.
Finish with sunglasses and a hat: Protect yourself from the Florida sun while adding style to your outfit with sunglasses and a chic hat. Oversized sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat are perfect choices for a glamorous yet practical look.
Remember, balancing your accessories is key. If you choose to highlight one accessory, keep the rest of your accessories minimal to maintain a cohesive and polished look.

]]>As you might have expected the bamboo pattern was imported into Europe at about the same time as the stylistic components that came to be used in the Blue Willow pattern. Asian design came as a result of the great voyages of discovery taken in the 16th century by the dominant European countries of the era including Spain, Portugal, Holland and Great Britain. The name “bamboo” returned on the same ships as the plants themselves and the various ceramics bearing its motif. (The word itself is probably a corruption of a Malay word for the plant by Portuguese speakers, or is that TMI?)
In Chinese culture the bamboo motif represented the behavioral model of a gentleman - its upright form and flexible strength were considered desirable attributes and the hollow heart of the bamboo stalk was given a positive spin as representing the open nature of a gentleman’s heart, accepting the good and avoiding the inflexibility of arrogance and prejudice.
Bamboo is ubiquituous in south and east Asia as it is one of the fastest growing plants in the world and spreads easily in any kind of soil. In the areas in which it grows it replicates the uses that hardwood is put to in other parts of the globe – as a building material, as a component in common household items like chopping blocks and even dishes and utensils (chopsticks!), for written documents as a substitute for paper and writing instruments in place of wooden pencils. Because of its tensile strength and beauty bamboo has been used to create musical instruments, flooring, furniture, weapons and even fabric.
Bamboo as a motif has provided the West with a simple, elegant touch of the exotic and has been fully incorporated into the design pallet of contemporary America. At Clementine we have a variety of products in which it is featured including table linens, glassware, dinner services flatware and various decorative items.
As for the bamboo plant itself, there has been a renewed interest in the West for using bamboo in products for which we have traditionally used tree-based woods, such as flooring, cupboards, countertops, etc. Bamboo is beautiful, durable and sustainable – it grows quickly and easily which makes it a hit with the ecologically minded.
But the use of bamboo in households does not stop there. Because of technological breakthroughs bamboo fiber can now be used to produce soft and durable fabrics. These fabrics are increasingly used by American companies for consumer products like household linens. The Grove has some beautiful blankets that made with bamboo fiber combined with cotton taking advantage of the best features of both. Clothing is also being made with bamboo fiber and the Grove Girls are on the lookout for options that you will enjoy.
It is exciting to how the combination of an ancient product with new technology can provide us with new choices and change our lives for the better. Keep an eye on bamboo as it beauty and utility become even more incorporated into our daily lives.

Ingredients:
Put it together:
We're inspired by everything citrus! These cocktails are sweet and tangy and look great! Before we get mixing... let's look at the health benefits of lemons and oranges.
Oranges and lemons are high in vitamin C which is usually known for boosting your immune system. But did you know vitamin C can help your body make collagen? Add oranges, or even mandarins to a salad--that would make a healthy complement to these boozy drinks. Hydrate with some lemon water and try adding with a little mint.
A Classic -
Rim a martini glass with sugar, shake ingredients in a cocktail shaker, strain and add a lemon twist.
For a Twist -
Mix all together into a salt-rimmed glass with ice. Garnish with CITRUS!
Something New -
Our taste-tester is cracking open four NEW beverages we found in the canned cocktails aisle. Move over seltzers - we're letting you know what we think about drinks that are pink.
We suggest grabbing a Kanga Kooler for your summer beverages - they cover an entire 12 pack of canned drinks. Toss in some SunnyLife pink and confetti outdoor accessories to round out your beach day, fabulously!

]]>A quick little list for a variety of summer activities and some suggestions for the kiddos.
You may have read it when it first hit the book shelves, you may remember your mama reading it. But ladies, pour yourself a cocktail because nothing speaks to the power of female friendship like the Ya-Yas. A roller-coaster tale of mothers, daughters, friends and the love we give.
The saying goes “Behind every great man is a great woman”. Unfortunately Benedict Arnold was not a great man, and neither was his wife…but boy she sure was fierce.
It’s like binge watching Downton Abby! You're welcome.
Rosen takes us into the ring for one of history’s most notorious feuds. Buckle up and watch Mrs. Vanderbilt and Mrs. Astor battle it out over control of New York’s Gilded Age society.
You may laugh, you may cry, but you will definitely find that loving feeling.
“There comes a point in every daughter's life when she begins seeing her mother as a person separate from her family, someone who has an identity outside of motherhood. That was the moment I began re-imagining my mother's life, and that re-imagining became THE HENNA ARTIST. “ – Alka Joshi

“Everyone things children are sweet as Necco Wafers, but I've lived long enough to know the truth: kids are rotten. The only difference between grown-ups and kids is that grown-ups go to jail for murder. Kids get away with it.”
― Jennifer L. Holm, Turtle in Paradise
If your kiddos liked “Because of Winn Dixie”, then this book is for them. A heartfelt story of resilience, hope, and friendship.
Each swoon worthy books takes place in a different country following a teen girl just trying to find her way in life, and maybe even a little love.

Meg is a graduate from Cheese School of San Francisco. That makes her the perfect Curd Nerd to share cocktail and cheese pairings with you!
Happy Cheese Lover's Day – one of my favorite days of the year! To celebrate, we Grove Gals want to give you some inspiration for how to pair some of our favorite cheeses with some of our favorite cocktails!
First and foremost, the MOST important thing to remember when you’re pairing cheeses is to HAVE FUN! While there are some tried and true pairings, there is no wrong answer… well, there might be, but everyone’s flavor palate is different so it’s okay to throw out the rule book and see what YOU like!
Black Cherry + Blue Cheese = The juicy yet slightly tart flavor—similar to a crazin’--is a perfect match for a blue cheese. So I’ve chosen one of my favorites – on both a taste and sentimentality note – is Point Reye’s Original Blue from Point Reyes Farmstead. I actually had the chance to visit this creamery when I was in cheese school and meet the stars—the dairy cows! If you’re ever in Marin County, CA, I HIGHLY recommend trying to visit them for a class, tour or tasting event.
If you’re not into Black Cherry … Or blues … think about pairing with a triple crème.

Cheers Bar Towels
Personalized Acrylic Stemless Wine Glasses
Another Grove Gal favorite is White Haven Sav Blanc. It is a smooth, crisp and refreshing white with a nice, clean finish. This white demands a nice, smooth, creamy cheese so I chose two… both by Cypress Grove Creamery in CA
I bet you didn’t see this coming but some of us like to drink our desserts … and not just because we’re fans of “The Dude.”
Playing off the Kaluah flavor and balancing the sweetness of the cocktail, I recommend the espresso & lavender rubbed Barely Buzzed by Beehive Cheese Co.

Starting in the spring we came up with a super fun and fresh assortment of fabrics
– we called on some of our favorites – Taylor Burke Home, Society Social, CR Laine and Lee Industries to round out the furniture collection.
We kept the bigger pieces neutral for a soothing beachy feel and really had fun with pillows, chairs and a coffee table. We spread some fun cheer around with Windy O’Conner and Assouline books.
On install day we started by removing everything from the shelves and assorting them differently and with color in mind.
We wall papered the powder bath in a fun Clarence House Lyford Cay print- all in all a good day's work!

The outside shingle is up and looking sharp, and the inside is coming along, too. We're anxiously awaiting our driveway and parking lot- apparently the materials arrive tomorrow. By our update next week, this Z Properties project will be looking really different- follow along for all the details!
