Garden of Dreams

Good morning, lovelies! Hope your week is off to a wonderful start. It's been raining here for a few days now and I cannot wait for the sun to come back out so I can enjoy the great outdoors.

I've been so enchanted with gardens lately. Having some time away from the beach has really given me the opportunity to explore the other lovely aspects of the season. Unfortunately I do not have a garden so I'm left to admire those of others. I hope one day to have one of my own.

Do you have a garden of your own? If so, what do you grow?

Hope you all have a lovely day!

xoxo

An Intimate Affair

Good morning, lovelies! How was your weekend? Did you do a lot of celebrating? I enjoyed mine to the fullest and now am looking forward to a 3 day work week.

With all of the talk of marriage and anniversaries lately I've been doing a lot of thinking back to my commitment ceremony that took place 15 years ago in J's parents backyard. It was a beautiful gathering of our nearest and dearest family and friends. A stark contrast to our large NYC wedding that we had 2 years ago. Both were so amazing and I wouldn't change a thing about either one of them but there was something so intimate and real about our first affair. I'll cherish it forever.

Enjoy the day, darlings!

Garden Gathering

Happy mid-week, lovelies! Hope you're all having a fabulous week. Thank you all so much for the sweet anniversary wishes. All your kind words really touched me :)

As I mentioned yesterday I'm having a busy week and of course my mind is already dreaming of the long weekend ahead. We're not going to the beach this weekend so I'm thinking of other things to keep us occupied. I know I want to be outdoors and I'm thinking a garden party could be a perfect way to celebrate this weekend.

What do you all have planned for the weekend ahead?

Secret Garden

Happy mid-week, lovelies! I've always been so enchanted with gardens. Unfortunately it's not something that I am able to have living in the city. Of all the amazing perks that comes along with living in NYC, for people like me, the luxury of having a garden does not happen to be one of them.

So until I ever decide to leave this wonderful place I call home I'll have to wander through them in my dreams.

How about you all? All you fortunate enough to have a garden? And if so, can I come on over to take a stroll? :)

Have a wonderful day! xoxo

Pretty in Provence

Happy Thursday darlings! Dreaming of being whisked away to the South of France for a divine & leisurely getaway. Relaxing days outdoors surrounded by beautiful gardens, eating the freshest cuisines and sipping the finest of wines. Pure bliss that is heaven for the soul. Oh I can just smell the lavender now. Can you?

Hope you all have a fabulous day! Only one more to go until the weekend! :)
