summer loving


 
I am so super pumped for Summer - in my excitement I decided to compile a bit of my summer style inspirations for the coming season. 

Accented with of course this month's flower feature & everyone's favourite, the Peony Rose. Only blooming at the height of Spring here in Australia, in November each year. Peonies with their large blowsy, rose-like, fragrant flowers are among the most romantic plants in the world. There are two forms, tree and herbaceous species. The peony is among the longest-used flowers in ornamental culture and is one of the smallest living creature national emblems in China. Along with the plum blossom, it is a traditional floral symbol of China. It is also known as "flower of riches and honour," and is used symbolically in Chinese art.

tu me manques printemps

This weekends sun-drenched winter weather in Sydney brought on the feeling of a spring / summer spent in the south of France, where garden roses bloomed up above my head and long days were spent along the sands of the coast.... Tu me manques la Côte d'Azur....
