Wedding Season + Diamond Rings


We are in the middle of wedding season and gorgeous pictures of beautiful brides abound. 

There's a French themed bridal shower, heavenly blooms, lovely bridesmaids dresses and lots of choices for jewelry and diamond wedding rings. In that regard, My Jewelry Box.com offers a wide range of simple bangs and in every price range.


It's a true feast for the eyes and for the heart. For all of you brides to be this summer, may your day be filled with love and joy.

Happy Monday + My Country Life




I collect vintage gardening books, I must own three dozen..













I've been spending lots of time alone in the country lately as I find it very  inspirational for my writing. The serene surroundings along with the enveloping silence allows me to commune with my muse. After spending time on the Coveteur, a blog about the stylish digs of the international fashion crowd, I thought why not share some snippets of a writer's world? My life here is much different than in the city; I spend my days in J. Crew t-shirts, checkered shirts and jeans. In the  summer however, I like to wear flowered skirts and dresses, striped shirts and tunics. 

 I bought these two Yves Rocher fragrances on a whim this weekend and I'm so happy I did, they smell like fresh peonies and lilacs, just like my favorite spring flowers!

I found the green vintage silk dress for $5 at a local flea market! It has a tulle crinoline and is really well made and is in great condition. I have yet to wear it but I'm keeping it on standby in case I need to channel my inner Betty Draper.

Thank you for stopping by.

Have a fantastic week!

Happy Spring!!!




It's official, Spring is here! So happy to finally see warmer weather, more sunshine and bright colors appear. I don't know about you, but I found winter to be looooong this year.  I'm loving all the bold colors that are popping up everywhere, especially on the runway and in magazines. I'm particularly fond of red and I have a hat just like the one pictured above that I had picked up at Target two years ago. Time to bring it out!

What better way to start the new season than with a surfing video that involves Chanel surfboards, yeah!

The bee's kiss







Photography by Patrice Commune


The moth's kiss, first!
Kiss me as if you made me believe
You were not sure, this eve,
How my face, your flower, had pursed
Its petals up; so, here and there
You brush it, till I grow aware
Who wants me, and widen ope I burst.

The bee's kiss, now!
Kiss me as if you enter'd gay
My heart at some noonday,
A bud that dares not disallow
The claim, so all is render'd up,
And passively its shatter'd cup
Over your head to sleep I bow.
