The Art of Accessories: Golf Style

As my 30th birthday is getting nearer I’m realizing I don’t really have any goals in life and everyone keeps saying, “when you turn 30 you really start to think about the future.” Not I. I’ve been looking for goals and then all of a sudden they slapped me in the face…

Recently, my very stylish and cute cousin had the opportunity to interview Nina Garcia about her latest book The One Hundred: A Guide to the Pieces Every Stylish Woman Must Own. I didn’t pick up the first book, because I like pictures and she only has illustrations in the book, but my cuz (that is short for cousin) convinced me that I should pick up both of the books because the illustrations were fabulous (and timeless) and the books were really good.

So I listened, but what I’ve discovered is that I can now use Nina Garcia and her book The 100 as part of my goals!! Are you confused? I know, it’s random, but somehow I got to this point.

My latest goal for 30 is going to be to see if I can own all 100 of the 100 stylish pieces every woman should own as described in Nina’s book. I may not get all 100 because I doubt I will agree with or love all of them, but hey, it’s something to try. I may even make up my own list along the way and add a few essential golf pieces to the list.

Lofty idea? Yes.

Tangible? For a shopaholic like myself, I again say yes.

I’m going to read the book this weekend on my flight to Boston (YAY for Rebecca’s wedding and my 30th birthday!) and I’ll keep you guys up to date on how much progress I make on my 100. I may even make my own list of 100 along the way.

I mean a girl’s gotta have goals, right? Did you create any goals for a significant birthday?

Since I’m on the topic of gifts…
My 30th birthday is this Saturday and last year for my birthday my husband gave me this book: Golf Annika’s Way: How I Elevated My Game to Be the Best– and How You Can Too. I had just finished my first year of playing golf all summer and in a women’s league and I still had lots of questions and thoughts about how to improve my game. I love this book and like to reference it to him on many occassions.

In addition to the book, he took me to South Carolina for a golf weekend so that I could play my first 18 holes on a very nice course. I took Annika along with me to read in the car hoping to absorb all of her knowledge in the 6 hour drive to South Carolina. I of course got exhausted by the 14th hole and had a long day of play on that trip, but I’ve got some wonderful memories to last me a lifetime.

Even though I got that book a year ago, I like to think of it as the gift that keeps on giving. I need to pick it up again and go to the range to work on my swing this week!
