Toby Tucker Golf is a new and unique clothing collection for women. I had the pleasure of meeting her a few years ago with Jessica Ricci from Jessica Ricci Jewelry. From InStyle Editor to Designer, Toby Tucker Peters has created a line of golf attire that brings together the technical aspects of the sport with color, texture and style this is on trend. The collection draws on classic golf silhouettes appropriate for the greens but substantially flattering for whatever unfolds after the 18th hole. Loving the wide cuff striped pants.

I stopped by one of my favorites, Jonathan Adler, that I've featured a few items before on my blog that were great additions to any event. Love the turquoise desk with the white pouf in the window. Love the classic letter pillows, greek key plates and bowls and the Carnaby Patterned vase and tray (yellow and gray of course)! The store is full of many fabulous finds for entertaining and home decor.
