August is Escapes Month!

August is Escapes Month! Although we all know that "home is where the heart is", it is also true that "distance makes the heart grow fonder", and let's be honest- we all can use a get-away. For many of us, there are some favorite places that act almost as a "home away from home", which is what we'll be blogging about this month...

Escapes are also a great place to draw inspiration from for decor ideas to bring back home. And it doesn't need to be some exotic location (although those are always nice)- it can be as simple as the local bookstore/cafe, or the beach, or even our own backyards....Have you been anyplace this summer (or are you planning on going somewhere?) Where do you go for "escape"?

i'm fortunate to live on a beach in a tropical island, so i just need to step out into my backyard to relax. however, i actually go to la to shake the inevitable "island fever" that sets in; when i need to escape from all the big city-ness and heat, i go to fern dell in griffith park--it's easy to get to, shady, and peaceful. a nice bit of tamed nature, without looking like it was beat into submission. also, there's the trails cafe! maybe not the best pie and coffee in los angeles, but definitely one the best surroundings to get them.
