It happens to me every mid Augustthat missing my fall friends in my closet.The yearning for Autumn's returnand bringing out my old friends form the back of the closet.
So this weekend I brought out a couple of sweaterswhether I needed them or notand they made my heart happy by reinvigorating my wardrobe!
I paired my Rachel Zoe cashmere sweaterwith my Free People lace tunic slipthat I can pair with so many thingsand my capri pants from Anthropologie.
I grabbed my parasol I found in Little Tokyoand basket from thefabulous French Basketeerand headed off to her cooking class on Saturday!
As my friends know I have never been very interested in cookingbut Andrea is changing that!
She has such passion for not only cookingbut 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 FranceThe French Basketeer knows where to get the very best of everything!
I am still mulling over the beauty in her French linensstacked high at the ready for kitchen tidying.I am rethinking my linens to be sure!
The simple beauty of the linenshighlights the beauty in everything they come in contact with!
Always providing such a perfect backdrop for everything.It is this beauty in the cooking processthat has me intrigued.
As well as the results that are produced.
It is Andrea's passion for the beauty in the ingredientsthat has me willing to venture into this new to me, arena.
Cooking has become more of a lifestylein which visiting farmers markets with beautiful basketsto find gorgeous organic produceto make into heathy mealshas me reexamining not only what I eatbut how I spend my time.
Realizing healthy food is a necessityas is
learning to slow down to enjoy the processwith friends and familyThis whole process is becoming a new creative outlet for me.
Andrea brings artistry to her mealsand even morea relaxed atmosphere in a much more European veinwhere a meal can be slowed downto be savored with family and friends.
Now back to my first love.
The Clothes.
With a change of shoesand clutch I was already for date night!
My outfit this weekend was inspired by my newcrown/headband from H&M.It's not often I find anything therebut when I do it's always so fun!
For dinner in the harborI added my big cowl sweaterwith 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 sweaterswas just enough of a reminderthat soon the seasons will be changing.
I can have excitement for the new season to comeand still be reminded to savor the season that is today!
