A seasonal lifestyle blog

A love letter to style, heirloom recipes, creative pursuits, motherhood, and life’s little joys through my camera lens.

Leopard Jacquard Dress

Over the weekend, S and I had dinner at my favorite BYOB. Looking back, it was probably was one of my favorite nights of the summer because it was so simple. We shared a tasty French wine we never had, and I ordered my go to 'Taylor Special' dish (I always order the same thing, and I think the wait staff definitely notices).

Solleone

Italian words like this make me swoon. That word comes to mind when I see the soft, golden light in these photos...

Brights in Chinatown

This was a really nice, but hot day out - this was the perfect breezy outfit to stay cool and light.

Light Blue

It was absolutely gorgeous off the hanger, and I couldn't wait to try it on. I love the pastel chiffon and the carefully stitched heart details all around the dress...

Buffalo Plaid

These pictures are blurry, but fun…it was cold! I've had this skirt for a while and was waiting for the perfect weather to snap a picture in it. I was going to wear it to Thanksgiving…but this thick, classic buffalo plaid in red and black felt more Christmas than anything.
