Last of Peonies

I get so excited every summer when I see peonies at the grocery store or at the farmer's market. They are such a special flower because their season is so fleeting, and they're SO pretty. Although I am a little bit sad that I have not been able to spot them at Trader Joe's in recent weeks, I am quite excited for the next season to arrive {AKA FALL!!}. Cheers to peonies, you had a great run this summer! :)

Ginger Jar Corner

I remember my mom's collection of blue and white ginger jars growing up; she loved her collection of blue and white anything, and I wish I would have asked for her collection before she donated them to Goodwill! {especially now that they are back in style..oops!} I found this one at Home Goods, and it was the perfect price {especially with a gift card}, and I hope to add more to my collection. I love the ones at William-Sonoma Home {like this one and this one}, and will definitely be keeping my eye out for ones at antique and thrift stores. Blue and white is my favorite color combo, and ginger jars can really add to any space :)

Currently Coveting: July

Happy July! It always feels like the middle of summer once Fourth of July comes, when we've been out of town for a ton of weddings and beach trips, and when it's been SO HOT that all you want to do is hibernate in the A.C. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't ready for fall, but there are a few things to love about summer including all of the summer items I am currently coveting below {LOVE that straw bag that is currently on sale!}:

Apertivo

I love having friends over for dinner, drinks, apertivo - whatever! I also love keeping it so simple so it is stress-free for everyone.  A simple cheese plate, easy-to-assemble bruschetta, and plenty of rosé is my go-to. We got this Butternut Brooklyn cheese board for a wedding gift and it is a kitchen/entertaining favorite; Riedel wine glasses {these} are pretty perfect for white wine or rosé. For the bruschetta, I sliced a French baguette and topped it with fresh mozzarella, chopped fresh basil, roasted cherry tomatoes with garlic, EVOO, and balsamic. Just add jazz music, fresh flowers, a great candle {Candlefish No. 40  is what I burned this night, one of my faves}, and great company, and you've got the perfect evening :)

Currently Coveting: June

Happy June! I cannot believe we are well into summer, and it's time to celebrate all things warm weather: flowers in bloom citrus-scented anything, tropical-inspired fashion, and simple beauty and make-up to beat the heat. Below are a few June items that I am currently coveting {image via This Is Glamorous}:

Summer

Happy Memorial Day Weekend! Summer is officially here, and while it is not my favorite season, there is still so much to look forward to..like the beach! We are getting away to the ocean this weekend, and could not be more excited for it. Below is my idea of the perfect summer items: flowy top, fun earrings, a great straw bag, and a natural burst of lip color. Cheers to Summer 17! {image via Shop This Is Glamorous}
