Happy Monday, lovelies! And welcome to a brand new week! Hope you all had an incredible weekend.
Back to a more polished existance for a few days. It's so funny, being at the beach a few days a weeky is amazing and all but there is something very nice about coming back to normal life and the pretty things. Not saying the beach isn't pretty. But you know, it's a more casual beachy approach to life.
Planning on blowing my hair out, putting on a pretty dress and picking up some flowers on the way to work today.
What little ways will you make your life pretty today?
xoxo

Gorgeous. Am glad you had a fun time. I love these photos. And it's nice to get polished up again after lazing around enjoying yourself at the beach. Gives a refreshing feeling. Have a wonderful day doll xox
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Happy Monday - I hope you have a great week.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday Dawn! I think picking up flowers is a nice activity for the Monday, I always like to buy some new teas on my way home :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteyou are soo lucky! wish i could just pick up and go to the beach on a whim like you! :)
ReplyDeleteI actually know exactly what you mean .. :) What is currently making my life pretty is the fact Ive just cut down to 4 days work a week which I love..makes me veryyy content doing everything I love :) P.s those pics are to die for!! Miranda kerr is my big (not so) secret girl crush...& I NEED that lounge space . LOVE!

I will be visiting a nursery to pick up some blooms for my modest patio. A little bit of color can do wonders, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteI see salmon color everywhere.
PS: I know what you mean, I love the East Coast better than the West Coast for precisely this reason. Casual is good, but there is only this much I can take of it.
Love,

I want to move into that house or apartment, please! XO
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures as always!!!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Darling!!!
Have a fabulous and creative week!!!
The beach is wonderful but it does a number on pedicures, hair, etc. Sometimes it's good just to take a nice long shower at home and not feel sandy! xo
ReplyDeleteHappy new week dear! I so know what you mean-- beach life is just a bit more low-maintenance. Both that and the prettier life have their upsides! I love that you posed that question because it's really made me think how I will add some pretty to my life this week. I'm thinking a new candle and a frame for the letter I've been wanting to mount for a long time might be it!
ReplyDeletei always love doing my hair properly when i've been at the beach for a while and flowers are the perfect way to add a bit of pretty to life -- i think i might pick some up on my way home :) xx
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean... :) Normal life that you know is sometimes the best sunshine to the soul... although the beach is pretty much just as amazing, but at least you can appreciate both... and you're able to enjoy both! :) Love all the pretty sunsets you've been uploading... gorgeous post, sweets! xo
ReplyDeleteI had a pretty laid off weekend, so I was looking forward to an elegant start of the week. have a beautiful day, Dawn! xo
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of picking up flowers on the way to work.
ReplyDeleteOooh love the idea of picking up some fresh flowers! Happy start to the week, Dawn!
ReplyDeletehappy monday to you too! fresh flowers always brighten my day. hope you're having a fabulous day, darling!

Fresh flowers never fail to add beauty in my life,
ReplyDeleteand of course a new bag and heels would too.
Now that I am back from frolicking in the mountains and being in touch with my inner hippie, I threw on a fun new dress and blazer to polish me up for the office. Hope your day is off to a great start!!
ReplyDeleteMuch love,

I agree! I love being at the beach, but then there is something just extra great about coming back, taking a shower, and putting on some cute heels! I do love the finer things. :):) Also need to say congrats Dawn!! You won my Belina giveaway! When you get a chance, could you please email me your address - inspirationsinitaly@gmail.com :)

Would you believe I've been ironing?! With the most wonderful scented ironing water. Nothing like sleeping on a fragrant, pressed pillow case for beauty rest! :)

There's nothing like a good blowout to make you feel glamorous!

ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you, I love coming back to routines and every day life from weekends. I need the contrasts:) you seem to have the perrrfect mix! xoxo Caroline
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pics!! Love that last room!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI believe to fully appreciate the wonderful vacation or free time, we need to experience life with dead-lines and commitments. After all that beach time :) it feels wonderful to blow the hair out and get dressed, right?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week Dawn!

ReplyDeletepurchasing a pretty dress always makes me feel pretty. during the summer i keep it pretty with a fresh mani pedi every 2 weeks. (love that shellac lasts a good two!)
ReplyDeletesorry i haven't been by in a while, I have lots of catching up to do! been a frantic and lazy summer all the same. I had so much fun at dinner with you, I want to do it all over again stat! Next time J must come!!
I do love going to the beach but I will have to agree I also love to come back to the city. I did have a good massage today and mani and pedi.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a gorgeous weekend!
ReplyDeleteLoving that last image especially, the armchair is bananas!
Oh honey, mondays are never pretty around here (c; I don't know what it is about mondays that just make them *MESSY*! Of course this post just raised the pretty quotient exponentially (c;
