Finding new places to wonder and keep Caroline curiosity open is something that we are constantly searching for. Pennsylvania has plenty of places like these where picturesque, history and culture collide and we are ready to discover them all! It was a Friday morning when Caroline didn't have classes so we took a trip to Valley Forge and we spent a couple of hours exploring one side of the park. We found this charming old spot and took some pictures. Caroline was so inspired, she was singing and dancing (see reels on instagram). We definitely want to comeback for more in the complete formula.

I didn’t want to miss the chance to see Azaleas in full bloom this year, and for that we always visit Nemours Estate. This is one of our favorite spot in the garden where we always come back to enjoy more moments with the kids. This time we only brought Caroline while Noah was at school. She was so playful and really enjoyed seeing the bees at work, and from time to time she did her happy dance, she always does. She was wearing another beautiful dress from our collaboration with Charlotte sy Dimby, this time the Willow Sage Smocked Dress. A subtle pink floral embroidery can be seen on her dress and a whole lot more floral prints on my look to match that day's mood. We are both floral lovers, can you tell?

Throwback Tuesday to a matching in red moment. One year ago around this time, both Caroline and I wore red looks in the golden fields on a trail. Looking back at these photos I can easily see how much she has grown up since that time, I almost can’t believe it’s just one year ago. It was the end of October when we took these photos and it was on a morning when Noah was doing school in person (remember the crazy times with online school for the most part of 2020?)
Well, I am known for having a soft spot for shirt dresses and this Daphne Wilde has a monogrammed belt as a bonus, which is a nice personal touch! Red- Brown colors against the golden fields are creating a beautiful chromatic contrast that I really love. These photos are a good remainder to revisit this wonderful trail and take new photos that I will hopefully post this year:)

Spring mood in the city and here’s a first camel-white look for this season. This classic mix makes an appearance every season, it’s a must wear color combination for me. And because Spring is here, the season of rattan bags is definitely on! I’m wearing a beautifully crafted rattan and leather Pamela Munson bag and no surprise, her latest collection is spot on! Check her out Here.

The 2020 favorite outfits recap is here! Year after year I do this kind of post highlighting my most loved looks, and there are plenty outfits that I will wear again. I loved being in the middle of nature season after season with just a few escapes in the city (starting from march). I look forward to see what this year will offer us.
As always, we can only hope that this new year is better, not just for me but for everyone. I am also grateful for all the good that happened (yes, there are great things that happened too), and grateful for you and your support for another year!
Happy New Year to you and yours!

As you can see I’m not done with the picnic sessions and I am pretty sure I will continue doing that in the fall as well! This one was the last from the Summer season (a few weeks ago) on a trail, on this very peaceful spot, not far from the place we took photos in the Summer with the purple flowers (see post Here).

The kids loved it and even more than that, they had a very calm temperament and wanted to take photos, BOTH OF THEM! Well, this has never happened before. Caroline is the one who may want to take photos but Noah is very hard to catch. I wish this is a new stage but I don’t count on that :)

Floral patterns still persist in our outfits because this is our all year long favorite pattern. Voila!

P.S. My dress is a very affordable find and comes in various colours Here.

Every time I see a field with flower I see a new photoshoot! These fuchsia thistles and clover flowers were easy to spot as they were located on the trail that leads us to the lake. As you can imagine not too much movement was possible but we managed to capture a few shots. If I could take photos with all the Spring wildflowers, I would! I can happily say this year I've achieved some sessions.

Another look shot at a beautiful Newport mansion, this time wearing a maxi dress. I have a soft spot for green color clothing, especially dresses. I paired this maxi dress with these animal print flats that are my ultimate fall shoes to wear with almost everything. A wild print, a classic feminine dress design, and a wonderful location, The Elms mansion... Voila!
