Sometimes a story comes along that will change your life, your view point. The world shifts, just a little. I met Barbara and her son David through my mom when I was about twelve years old (he was maybe a year or two then). I remember she said he didn’t take to strangers well. More shy than anything else.

When they announced the July Maven (Poolside) Collection , I honestly wasn’t sure which box I was going to choose. Ultimately, it came down to the fact that two of the boxes each had one color I loved and one I didn’t, and one box had two colors I loved – so I went with the Bombshell box. Inside were the colors Lissa (tumbled turquoise [...]
