I adore these sugary-sweet images of pretty girls in hats and gloves eating confections. What’s more fun?

A friend from work pointed this out to me. Elsa Peretti for Tiffany & Co. designed “the bottle” which is inspired by Italian women who accessorize with fresh flowers. How chic is that?

I’ve spent the past six months wishing for summer and now I can’t believe it’s here. I love everything about it: the sun, the heat, the late nights, balmy weather, pool time, flimsy dresses, tan lines, fresh fruit…This one is especially special – it’s the summer of love.

Have a terrifically lovely summer weekend. Click pictures for sourcing.

A gorgeous setting for white dresses, bronzed skin, the sun, the sand and of course tulle. I’ve become particularly fond of the floral wreath and it looks stunning with her dark hair.

I am completely obsessed with this editorial. The gorgeous shades of summer mixed with rich texture and stunning hair accessories…such a treat!
