The Weekend . . .

 

A week full of beautiful weather, restorative morning walks counterbalanced by emotional heart-break from the events in Boston have certainly created a teeter totter of thoughts, gratitude and questions. In the end, all we have control over are our own actions, our thoughts and how we move forward. And I, along with many of you, am choosing to move forward with appreciation, resilience and a determination to bring more kindness into every day moments.

With that said, the spring trees are nearly all bursting with blossoms, the yards are bright green and the frequent showers offer a lovely scent that is utterly intoxicating.

Portland is calling my name this weekend with a few wine tastings at a wine shop I’ve been curious to check out, stopping into peruse new decor collections and picking up a few essentials here and there for my beauty routine and wardrobe. 

Hopefully your week has found you with time with loved ones, activities to inspire your creative mojo and many reasons to stop and be filled with gratitude.

The past week on the blog has included the debut of Vogue’s May cover, more style inspiration and diving into one of my favorite trends from the season as well as ways to find your balance within your regular everyday routine. Have a look:

~Style Inspiration: Sophisticated Chic

~This & That: No. 54 . . . a new show to enjoy, a vintage online boutique and a splurge and a save on floral pencil skirts.

~Why Not . . . Wear Stripes?

~Time to Recharge

~Carey Mulligan – Vogue US May 2013

May your weekend be exquisitely bursting with moments to savor, wine or favorite drink to enjoy and company to lose track of time with. Until Monday, bonjour.
