natural window art

I love the natural art coming through my window.  when my husband and I bought this house {which was built in 1895} about 8 years ago…he asked me why we didn’t have any window treatments…{lol}  I just love the natural light that comes through every window.  I have never been a fan of heavy window treatments and there is probably a little truth in that I am a bit intimidated by them.  It’s a major commitment in my opinion and I love the simplicity of our classic window panes.  & of course I love the hydrangea trees! Enjoy!

is it fall yet?

 

believe me, I do not want the summer to end but I do love fall fashion!

I just came across a new site, kiss & makeup…love it.  I found it because I was searching for a new pair of TKEES, my favorite flip flops.  {I want them in every color…see below}.  This is where I found these super cool, matisse dove rider boots in black {$255} and the L*Space boho floppy back hat!  {sorry, sold out}.  The fold-over clutch I found on lane-knight.  This is a super cool site and I just fell in love with this clutch – Clare Vivier Flat Clutch in Royal Blue Pebble.  Enjoy!  xo Corry

let’s stick with summer for now – here are the TKEES flip flops I fell in love with this summer.  GO. BUY. THEM. NOW!!

I have them in these colors…the {bluebird} and {velvet fog} are in a soft suede. and the foundation flip flop is {beach bum}.

sweet casual summer beauty

the other day I found myself in sephora {overwhelmed} and in heaven with the incredible inventory of product.  wow.  I was there for one product in particular, josie maran, 100% pure argan oil.

{1} josie maran’s organic 100% pure argan oil is amazing.  I had been reading about her amazing products and I was drawn to this one specifically because there are several benefits and uses for it…a) daily moisturizer {lightweight and filled with antioxidants} b) treat split-ends {she has a specific hair oil treatment too} c) condition cuticles and rough patches of skin d) reduces hyper pigmentation and is an an overall body moisturizer and bath oil!  must have!  ♥ ♥

{2} nars {the multiple} in orgasm {the shade}…An all-in-one, cream-to-powder, multipurpose makeup stick.  love this and it just says summer sexy!!

{3} charlotte ronson {a perfect touch} rollerball oil.  ”A fragrance inspired by endless beach days that effortlessly melts into skin.”

enjoy summer!  xo Corry

I fell in love with…{island company}

so, I bought the cutest beach tank dress at my ultimate favorite store, snappy gator in fairfield, CT…and then my husband washed it  & put it in the dryer…it is now a tank top {sigh}.  I fell in love with this simple cotton dress that I used as a cover up and now it is basically not wearable anymore.  SO, I decide to check out the island company website who made the dress and I fell in love with everything…how great is this tee above???!!!  LOVE IT!!  check out all of my NEW purchases & sweet casual style {must haves!} ♥

olive relaxed  linen pants – I had to have these…

coral baby tank top {I even love the name!} – this is so sexy…

cool blue hadley dress – this color is amazing and I am sure it is super soft…can’t wait to get it!

summertime {2012}

summertime.

I love everything about summer.  This May cover photo of Lauren Conrad captures summer and beauty all over it.  She looks absolutely beautiful in this photo…so natural and beachy!  here are a few other photos that epitomize summer for me…

there is nothing like a summer clam/lobster bake with corn on the cob!

I love how my 2 year old son thinks the grill marks on corn on the cob makes it “dirty”!  too cute!

I love everything about this room…especially the view!

♥ yes!!  yum!! ♥

love life & my new things!

love life* is a new book I bought on vacation this week and I am so excited to share it with you…

along with some other goodies I picked up on my trip!  ♥

this book has some amazing quotes about loving the moments, simple pleasures, taking chances, love your friends & family, love the outdoors, love the open road, love to be amazed…I could go on and on.

This book was a true inspiration to me!!

here are a few new pieces of jewelry I picked up in the Cape & at home in CT

ring & necklace are from the coolest store in Chatham, MA Mark August!

blue lapis necklace is from my ultimate favorite store in Westport, CT…Dovecoat.

and the earrings came from my favorite boutique in Fairfield, CT Snappy Gator!

most importantly, here is a picture of my sweet baby boy, Ben enjoying his time at the beach in Orleans, MA

happy Americana

I came across this adorable {americana} entryway mat from THOS.BAKER $39 {not bad!}

I think this was the first time I got this catalog…very cool but very expensive outdoor living.

I have a pool and find it incredibly frustrating how expensive chaise lounge chairs are!!  This is why we don’t have any right now and I am on the hunt for nice, reasonable chaise lounge chairs – please post back if you have found any {not cheesy either}!

Hope everyone had a happy 4th of July…here are a few pictures of amazing night at Fairfield, CT beach watching the fireworks!

my baby boy Ben

my husband Chris & Ben watching the fireworks at Fairfield beach!
