Warm hues of simplicity

Shady browns and leather, autumn hues on the last day of spring, with a laid back attitude, and a cunning desire to have some sunrays stroke my face, making my vision just a bit too bright to handle.

True

Some inspiration to keep things going..

Mokkasin

I'm smitten by the delicate and easy-going styling of Mokkasin shop. It's one of these that makes you feel like creating a beautiful surrounding is as easy as a piece of cake. You have got to visit their blog as well for extra inspiration!

Sunset hues

It would be such a great idea to head towards a quiet spot into the park and enjoy some late afternoon picnic with just the basics and the setting sun..

Finding Paradise: My black book

Today's glimpse of paradise comes from Brit of my black book.

To Brit, Paradise

feels like: a breath of bliss that makes me feeling lighthearted and fills my soul with delight.

looks like: a local farmer's market with its seasonal color palette of yummy produce and food, a beautiful fall scenery with pumpkins in the soft golden late summer sun, a roofed wicker beach chair on a lonely white sandy beach just for me.

smells like: a fresh cutted summer meadow after the rain, freshly brewed coffee.

tastes like: a warm cinnamon bun on a cozy white winter morning, some wine & cheese simply the French way.

sounds like: rain falling on the roof top of my lonely dream beach cabin, leaves rustling in the warm summer breeze while taking a nap in a hammock.

Thanks Brit! Your paradise seems such a wonderful place to be!
