Simple Delights

{Stop and smell the lilacs}

Every year when the lilacs fill up the air with their irresistible scent, I feel nostalgia take over me. It reminds me of spring in Lithuania, where lilac bushes line almost every road. It also reminds me of a silly trick we did as kids. You'd have to look for a lilac flower with only three petals instead of the usual four. If you were lucky enough to find it, you'd make a wish, eat  the little flower and wait for your wish to come true. I'm not sure who started this rather strange game, but  I might just be up for a challenge to find that lucky three-petaled flower again.


{A beautiful gift from Les Arts Plastiques}

This gorgeous piece will be a perfect addition to all the purples and lilacs in my closet. Thank you Alicia!

{Dreaming about Paris, in color.}

{While eating French macaroons, of course. }

{Admiring this gorgeous red maple tree illuminated by the setting sun.}


{Golden hour at the square}

Such a great way to unwind at the end of the day, soaking in the sounds and the scents of spring.

Gingham




{JCrew shirt, Anthropologie jeans, Banana Republic coat, Franco Sarto sandals,  Margot handbag, Fossil belt}

Happy Monday! I hope you're all enjoying a long Memorial Day weekend. 

For today's look I'm wearing my trusty high-waisted jeans, a comfy gingham shirt and my oldie but goodie trench. Business on the outside, country on the inside, or as Mr. C called it "country business". He said I look like I'm ready to go line dancing after a meeting. Oh, that man! Cracks me up all the time.

Comme une Parisienne




{Vince shirt, Kate Spade trousers (both via Nordstrom Rack), Franco Sarto sandals, Anthropologie clutch, Fossil belt, Limited bracelet, Banana Republic necklace}

Inspired by yet another book about French women and their effortlessly chic style, I put together this simple outfit - something navy, something perfectly worn in, one major accessory and just a hint of skin. I feel a bit Parisian today.
