The Weekend . . .

(Click here for the recipe)

Ah yes, here in the states, the long Fourth of July weekend. With many festivities, travel plans and the ubiquitous red, white and blue – this is one of my favorite weekends of the summer. The warm days, sparkly nights, food, lively conversation and a requirement of absolute relaxation. Even if you live outside of the US, these should be must-do items on your weekend schedule, don’t you think?

I hope this past week, whether long or short, has been spectacular, and whether it’s romance that is brewing or plans that are coming to be that you’ve long anticipated, I hope it went well and goes well for you.

Periodically, I receive email from readers who have ideas for posts or are asking for advice based on what is going on in their lives, and I have to say I genuinely appreciate your trust in me, as well as thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to give guidance that is helpful and objective. To all of my readers, never hesitate to contact me, as I always have an ear to listen.

Here’s a look back on the past week on The Simply Luxurious Life:

*The favorite post by a landslide: To Complement, Not Complete

*Mad Men & Banana Republic (look for this lovely pairing in August)

*A mix of style ideas: summer, winter, travel – Style Inspiration

*Why Not . . . Be Casually Elegant?

*The Rachel Zoe Project (and the opportunity to purchase her Fall 2011 collection)

*Find Your Inspiration – where I share what works for me and other ideas
