Cheese?

Arroyo Rectangular Tray by Amenity Home

I love cheese and I love fruit, I love cheese with fruit and fruit with cheese.  I eat a lot of cheese, fruit and crackers and on these nights when I have the munchies I slice up the cheese into bite-size pieces (I love doing that) along with sliced fruit and crackers, I serve it on a small wooden cutting board or on just a regular plate.  I'm currently in the look out for an affordable but nice looking wooden cheese tray which is how I came across today's post, the Arroyo Rectangle Tray made by Amenity Home is a beautiful one, but at $88 it's so not affordable and my hunt for a cheese tray forages on.  Tis a beautiful tray though.

Banda Selections

Banda Chaise

I guess I can hardly call it a selection when there's only two to choose from, but really, in my opinion two is all you need.  I often browse around on the Anthropologie site, they've got such charming things in their 'Home' department including these Banda chairs. 

Though by the looks of the Banda chairs you're more likely to set it outdoors rather than indoors, I can imagine something rather interesting and charming for indoor use for the Banda chairs.  Perhaps set it over a colorful rug in the designated sun-room with one of those wood-stump tables, accessorizing would be to your advantage at this point: a cute simple lamp, a pile of books on the floor etc, etc... you get my drift i'm sure.

Getting Some Excercise

Alternative Eco Heather Crop Pant $34

Today I went on a bit of a hike.  The weather was perfectly gray and cool for the strenuous hike and except for the slightly smoggy city skyline the greenery surrounding me from the trees, bushes and flowers was absolutely beautiful.  Living in the city surely gives me much more appreciation for nature and all it has to offer... even bug bites I suppose.

It got me thinking of how I will take brisk walks in the countryside and so found the perfect pants for them!

Walking The Dog

Today I await for my brother to call me to join him in coffee and taking Marvin his little Yorkie to the dog park, I admit that I am excited, it's not everyday that I get to run around and play so closely to a dog.  I've grown up with dogs my entire life but it has been some time since I've had the company of a dog of my own and I do miss it terribly.  So here I am, excited and ready for that trip to the dog park.

But while I wait... here's this, Amenities Macrame Hemp Dog Leash, made of natural fibers boasting simple natural beauty.

Fundays in Topshop's Red Persian Trousers

On Sundays I like to do nothing responsible, instead I opt for a leisurely bike ride to the Farmer's Market, I opt to bake some kind of pie, I eat out, I take naps- Sundays can be best described as my Funday.  And I think I'd love to do them in this Red Persian Floral Print Wide leg Trousers by TopShop.  They're colorful, fun, carefree & non-restricting, very much like Funday.

Country Urbanite

My very significant other  and I have discussed and feel it is time to look for a new place, but more than just a NEW place, our very own place- how sweet those words are to me.  The young budding adults that we are it was decided to find yet another place in the city for the sake of work, a town or condo loft in the modern style is what we are heavily leaning towards- this got me thinking, and then I found this picture... My thoughts?  One day.

Rings To Bring Me Back Home

Topshop, rose, bead & semi precious stack rings $20

I've been so utterly busy as of late I haven't had the time to keep up with my posts, during times like these when one has to try just to come up for a breath of fresh air are the times when I yearn the peace and quiet that a country home would give me.  I knew today was time to post because all I can think about is being there in the country home, just me and the trees... and critters.

But when one can't get away there's always little things to bring you back where you want to be, inside at least even if not physically.  Topshop's Rose, Bead & Semi Precious Stack Rings brings me back to the country home, simple with beads and roses it makes me think of... well...  walking through shimmering gold fields.
