Slow afternoons by the pool, birds singing in the background, a good book in hand, fresh food from the garden… honestly today felt like one of those days you wish you could bottle up forever 🌿☀️📚 OOTD details: 🤍 Floral dress from boutique Sage in a size Medium 🤍 Marco Adler straw hat from Burlington 🤍 Chanel Grand Shopping Tote 🤍 Floral sandals by AERIN 🤍 Scent of the day: Dioriviera 🌸 This flowy dress with the elastic waistband is the perfect mix of comfortable and feminine. Easy enough for lounging at home, reading outside, tending to the garden, or casual church days. I popped the umbrella open by the pool today and spent some time reading Atomic Habits while listening to the birds and honestly… my nervous system needed every second of it. And did I mention the broccoli rabe harvest? 🥬 This was probably our FOURTH harvest and I think the bitterness is finally growing on me 😂 The first few times definitely caught me off guard, but this time? It was actually delightful. I sautéed it in olive oil with: 🌿 fresh thyme from the garden 🧅 onion + scallion 🍋 lemon 🧂 salt + pepper …then finished it with feta on top. SO good. We paired it with: 🥖 fresh homemade sourdough bread 🐟 grilled mackerel 🐟 fresh-cut redfish Just one of those simple, beautiful meals that reminds you how blessed life really is. I’m so thankful for these little moments lately 🌿 Now I need recommendations: 📚 What are you guys reading this season? I’m looking for: • gardening books • homemaking inspiration • slow living reads • mindset/wellness books Linking similar pieces in my storefront 🤍 LTKStyle SlowLiving GardenLifestyle SpringStyle OOTD PoolsideLiving SuburbanLiving SoftLife QuietLuxury Homemaking GardenToTable BroccoliRabe SourdoughBread SpringOutfits LifestyleCreator AtomicHabits EverydayStyle WomenWhoGarden SimpleLiving SummerStyle LTKvlog LTKHome LTKxMadewell
