When times are tough it's important to stop and appreciate things that make you smile. Luckily, for me I'm tickled by many things. Whether it's soft pink peonies in milk glass or old photos of my family, I make sure to surround myself with simple pleasures.
In order shown: pink peonies from Whole Foods, vintage photo of my parents (looking beautiful), pretty magazines and a Kate Spade daily planner, a glitter dress from Hallelu, vintage photo of my dad and grandparents (my grandmother was a true style icon), old Vogue magazines and some sparkle, butternut squash with pesto and Parmesan cheese cooked in our new Le Creuset, my handlebar mustache wine opener.

There is nothing like fresh cut flowers in my home to bring a smile to my face... especially peonies! Also - who doesnt love sequins!
These pictures are beyond beautiful. You always take the most stunning photos. I really love that Hallelu dress. I wanted one but they're already all sold out.
Just found your blog this afternoon and I absolutely love it!
Happy new year.
Beautiful inspiration!
so true! gotta find the little things to make you happy! love that last picture of you! you're adorable! ps. i'm trying to make it to the thing on friday!!
Well hey-o Miss chef! Reading "Butternut squash with pesto and Parmesan cheese" literally just made my mouth water. When can I fly in for one for your yummy, healthy meals? And honestly, is there anything better than cooking with new bakeware?
Happy new year!

Peonies always make me smile. Especially when they are from my husband :)
all of those things make me happy too! btw did you know there is a scientology.org ad at the bottom of your page?
OH and I just used my gift certificate to the Hallelu Boutiquw from your giveaway! I can't wait for the goodies to arrive! Thank you again for doing the giveaway!
Emily-
what a weird ad. Guess Google decided it was fitting for my blog. NOT!
Love this post...made me smile :)
all of those things make me smile, too! (especially that gorgeous sparkly dress and mustache corkscrew :)
I'm so glad I could make you all smile too!
That dress is AMAZING!!!!! I mean you cant even look at it and not smile. cant imagine what it would be like to wear it!
The old photos are my favorite. I've been on a kick looking through old classics of my mom with a beehive! That sparkly dress is amazing too!

Mustaches always make me smile - how men wear them unironically is beyond me!
Thanks for stopping by!

The flowers and the glitter dress are beautiful.

Such a great post
Its good to appreciate things that can always make you smile and surround yourself wit them
I have exact issue of Vogue with Scarlet Johansson on the cover too! Its my favorite :D
How funny! I also have a glitter/sequin dress hanging from my bedroom door as well! It's silver... and it may be a little too much for me but I love looking at it everyday.
I love pictures of beautiful things specially those of details that make one happy.
Thanks for sharing yours.
That sequined dress is jaw-dropping gorgeous. I bet it looks fabulous on you!
