Quick Trip

We're back from our little getaway, and the trip was so nice. Northern Florida is an area I'd never visited, and it's always great to see a new place. Here are a few scenes from the trip.

Little Getaway

Hopefully at this time tomorrow, my husband and I will be on the beach in Florida. We're heading off on a very brief trip that I think should be a lot of fun. I'll be back with photos next week, but in the meantime, please enjoy this lovely one.

Home Sweet Home

This past weekend was absolutely lovely. Believe it or not, that included cleaning my house top to bottom. It was so satisfying! While my husband and I still have lots of projects we'd like to tackle in practically every room, I love nestling into our living room when it's nice and tidy. Ahhh ...

Happy Friday

It's an absolutely gorgeous day, and the fact that it's Friday makes it even better. Going into this weekend, I'm very mindful that summer days don't last forever. I want to make the most of it! Here's what I'm hoping to experience:

See: my husband's smiling face when he gets home from work and the weekend officially begins

Hear: the laughter of my mom, dad, sister, brother-in-law and husband at dinner tonight

Taste: a glass of wine when I catch up with one of my best friends

Smell: the aroma of fresh-cut grass when we take the pup for walks around the neighborhood

Feel: the sun on my skin as I savor the warm days

Happy weekend, everyone!

Calm and Cool

I'd love to live in a loft. I like the idea of infusing a sense of home into a more industrial-style space. If I ever had the opportunity, perhaps I'd decorate like this Melbourne warehouse, featured in Living Etc. I love the dashes of black against the white backdrops, the crisp yet calm design, the graphic prints and patterns. So cool.

Easy Does It

It's August. How did that happen? Inevitably around this time of year everyone seems to jump ahead, lamenting that summer is over and beginning preparations for fall. Not yet, I say. It's still summer and I am not going to think about another season until I absolutely have to.

A clothing line that seems perfectly suited to easing into seasonal transition is Brochu Walker. Their pieces are so chic in their simplicity, and they seem lovely to layer. I pretty much want everything from their website, to wear now as well as into the months ahead.

Happy Weekend!

The weekend is finally here! I'm excited for a full two days of going out with friends, hanging out with family, relaxing with the pup and cozying up to my man. Here's wishing everyone a weekend of fun, love and some good, old-fashioned romance!
