{ music monday } make you feel my love

I have always had a soft spot in my heart for Adele. I think that she not only has a beautiful voice, but a beautiful heart as well. I remember her first song that I heard, Hometown Glory and how it made me homesick every time. Here's another song of hers that is a bit old, but still one that I really enjoy. Toned-down and stripped, we can appreciate her vocals and her song writting in its fullest.

You can feel the heartfelt emotion in this song that transcends distance and relationship, it could be for a lover or a dear friend. Accompanied with minimal piano notes, this song is a perfect night lullaby. Heart-breaking yet hopeful, it's rare these days to find a song so raw and pure.

When the evening shadows
And the stars appear
And there is no one there
To dry your tears
I could hold you
For a million years
To make you feel my love

{ indoor+outdoors } a colorful garden party

Aren't these photos absolutely sublime? Here's some inspirational exterior decor ideas from the talented  London stylist Miranda Watchorn. I love how she adds such bright colors and accessories that would provide such an extra spark to a garden-themed party. Her eye to detail is stunning and I love her choice of color palette. This setting would be perfect for a engagement party, a family reunion, or simply a fancy, whole day picnic with friends and loved ones. Oh, and who can say no to peonies?

{ image inspiration } easter memories

How is your Easter going? We spent a lovely Easter with family, an adorable french wedding on Saturday followed by a large family luncheon today. Everything has made me a little bit nostalgic, especially when thinking of how I used to celebrate Easter as a child. I remember absolutely loving the Easter egg hunts, decorating eggs or Easter carnivals, and of course, all the yummy candy and chocolates. 

I still have my filling of chocolates this year, but I would love to organize an Easter egg hunt next year, even if it's just us adults. I think it would be a lovely way to let everyone go back to being kids again, if only for a day. Plus, since there's such a thing as alcohol-flavored chocolates, it might be quite a success after all. Happy Easter everyone ♥!

I hope you woke up to these this morning

And had a generous serving of these

Or baked a batch of these

With something beautiful to end your Easter day

And not forgetting our beloved mascots
