My Weekend Wear

It happens to me every mid August

that missing my fall friends in my closet.

The yearning for Autumn's return

and

 bringing  out my old friends form the back of the closet.

So this weekend I brought out a couple of sweaters

whether I needed them or not

and

 they made my heart happy by reinvigorating my wardrobe!

I paired my Rachel Zoe cashmere sweater

with my Free People lace tunic slip

that I can pair with so many things

and 

my capri pants from Anthropologie.

I  grabbed my parasol I found in Little Tokyo

and 

basket from the

fabulous 

French Basketeer

and

 headed off to her cooking class on Saturday!

As my friends know I have never been very interested in cooking

but Andrea is changing that!

She has such passion for not only cooking

but searching out the best of everything!

Whether it be fresh eggs form a family owned farm at the farmers market ...

the most beautiful in organic produce ...

or the best flour from Italy ...

salts from France

The French Basketeer knows where to get the very best of everything!

I am still mulling over the beauty 

in her French linens

stacked high at the ready for kitchen tidying.

I am rethinking my linens to be sure!

The simple beauty of the linens

highlights the beauty in everything they come in contact with!

Always providing such a perfect backdrop for everything.

It is this beauty 

in the cooking process

that has me intrigued.

As well as the results that are produced.

It is Andrea's passion for the beauty in the ingredients

that has me willing to venture into this new to me, arena.

Cooking has become more of a lifestyle

in which visiting farmers markets with beautiful baskets

to find gorgeous organic produce

to make into heathy meals

has me reexamining 

not only what I eat

but how I spend my time.

Realizing healthy food is a necessity

as is
 learning to slow down 

to enjoy the process

with friends and family

This whole process is becoming a new creative outlet for me.

Andrea brings artistry to her meals

and

 even more

a relaxed atmosphere 

in a much more European vein

where a meal can be slowed down

to be savored with family and friends.

Now back to my first love.

The Clothes.

With a change of shoes

and 

clutch 

I was already for date night!

My  outfit  this weekend was inspired by my new

crown/headband from H&M.

It's not often I find anything there

but when I do it's always so fun!

For dinner in the harbor

I added my big cowl sweater

with a comfortable wedge.

I kept the accessories simple with just 

a bold dash of 

Tamera Beardsley Design bracelets.

I was quite happy with this weekend wear choices.

Pulling out a couple of beloved sweaters

was just enough of a reminder

that soon the seasons will be changing.

I can have excitement for the new season to come

and 

still be reminded to savor 

the season that is today!

As always my friends

I wish you love and joy

as you style your life
