Starting a business is not easy. You have your good days and your bad - a never ending emotional roller coaster ride. I just read this article in The New York Times and it is exactly the way the mentioned business owners describe owning a business to be. Despite the long hours, poor pay and uncertainty of what lies ahead, I wouldn't trade my new life for my old job either. Happy Monday! x.

Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day... Hopefully this beautiful wedding will brighten your day. Happy Friday! x.

I love bread. I love the smell, warmth and taste of freshly baked bread. I love it at all times of the day - on it's own or accompanied by butter, poached eggs or soup. Cheese is good too. I've been inspired to make my own bread after watching this short film on Tartine Bakery. You can purchase their cookbook here. x.

I think Gwyneth is looking better than ever... there's a natural radiance and ease about her. Here, she is photographed by Carter Smith for the September 2011 issue of Elle US. I love the crotched sweater in the first photo. Happy Monday! x.

Helen Mirren on life,

"The hardest period in life is one's 20s. It's a shame because you're your most gorgeous and you're physically in peak condition but it's actually when you're most insecure and full of self-doubt. When you don't know what's going to happen, it's frightening." Via.

I'm an idealist/dreamer/romantic. I can't wait to watch One Day. I haven't read the novel... should I? Jim makes me swoon. Have a loooovely weekend! x.

You make my heart go giddy-up! x.
