True Beauty

- Create your own beauty -

To me beauty is a collaboration of many elements. 

Visual beauty is a powerful factor but having a positive attitude,

 personal style, nurturing your self loving and being loved

 and surrounding yourself with the things you love

go hand in hand with creating your own beauty.

Undefinable Beauty

 'For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others,

for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness,

and for poise walk with the knowledge that you are never alone'

Wild About Roses

Everywhere I look, everything I read and every conversation I have is a

an endless source of ideas in my life, work and wardrobe. 

Inspiration for me comes in many forms :

a book, a movie, an old Vogue, a piece of art or a fashion exhibition.

Today I'm feeling nostalgic for these

wildly romantic rose prints!

Golden Days

 

 

 

Now that Autumn has set in, it's time to think about :-

lighting the fire on chilly nights
baking an apple pie
making some homemade pumpkin soup and
 going for walks in the park to hear the leaves crunch underfoot.

Stay cosy this weekend!

Simple Pleasures

The simple pleasures in life for me are:-

long, relaxing baths with scented bath salts

a beautiful home cooked meal,

sunshine and green grass

a comfortable bed

fresh flowers.

Carefree Summer Days

It's summertime and the living is easy. The air is warm and sultry, cicadas are humming in the distance and the days are long and languid. Put on a pretty summer dress, gather your friends and spend a lazy afternoon over a long leisurely lunch in the garden. Serve up something light and tasty with a glass of Pimms, watch the conversation flow and laughter fill the air!

My Secret Garden

Spring is one of my favourite times of year when the birds are chirping, the bees are busy making honey and the fields are golden with flowers. It's the perfect time to give the garden some much needed love and attention after being somewhat neglected over the winter months. Nothing is more inviting than the garden in springtime when the grass is green and fragrant, the trees are bursting with new growth and the flowers are blooming. It's a perfect spot for late brunch on a sunny day or an afternoon nap under a shady tree!
