Delicious Autumn

Happy Thursday everybody!
Not too much on my mind today except that I was so thrilled that my grandfather picked out one of my Nana's beautiful rings to give me from her extensive collection of jewelry.  It's a ruby and I remember the many times it so gracefully adorned her finger.  As I am missing her so much these days, this little treasure is such a sweet reminder of her as I glance down at my hand.  It is most definitely something I hold near and dear to my heart.

In other news: I had the exciting opportunity to attend a Levi's Curve ID event last week with my friend, Chaucee of Streets and Stripes.  As you may know, I am not much of a jeans girl: mostly because I have one pickle of a time find jeans that will fit my petite but curvy frame.  I'm pretty sure I fell in love at first fit.  Head on over to Chaucee's blog to see her lovely photos and read more about it here.


That's all for now darlings.  Have yourself the most relaxing weekend!  

Love,

    What a sweet gesture from your grandfather! I have one of my grandmother's ring too and I'm so glad I got a piece of her style and elegance to remind me of her. I think of her all the time too and still have the reflex to call her sometimes...

    I adore the setting of these pictures and the outfit is SO cute!

    I took outfit pictures in a magical location yesterday that made me think of you so much, a little pond right out of a Monet painting!

    Have a lovely week-end dear!

    I have heard that Levi's is the curvy girl's dream in terms of finding the perfect denim at a reasonable price! I love your red hat and thank you for sharing the story of how breast cancer effected someone you know and love. Have a wonderful weekend!

    I really love this top and the way you styled it too! Thats so sweet that you've always got that ring to remind you of your nana (not that you need reminding of course) but it looks like such a lovely ring! :)

    I wish I were a bird sometimes! And how nice in the Autumn with all the colours in the trees! :) I was given my Nana's things when my dad's parents passed away and it is special, I love wearing her rings and necklaces, a kind of bitter sweet thing but near and dear to the heart indeed! Hope you are having a lovely weekend! Zoë x
