The Weekend . . .

A weekend full of coffeehouse dates, working in the yard and tying up loose ends on end-of-the-summer projects lies ahead for me as well as dreaming and allowing for time to search and investigate for inspiration and ideas.

With some opportunities taking place this week that I can’t wait to share in the months to come as well as lively conversations on the a handful of the posts, this past week has been lovely and productive.

While most of my September issues have arrived, I am still patiently waiting for my Kate Moss Vogue issue (hitting newsstands August 23rd) and can’t wait to cozy up in my favorite chair with my dogs snuggled up next to me while I lose track of time for a bit getting lost in fashion dreamland.

What do you have planned for the weekend? Hopefully laughter, delicious bites of decadent food or anything that brings a smile to your face.  Just in case you’ve been busy, here’s a look back on the past week on The Simply Luxurious Life:
