My perfect serene moment.... a white crochet hammock between two weeping willow trees next to a lake, a slight cool breeze that lightly swing a dainty windchime for some sound along with the leaves blowing softly through the air, and me wearing the “met you by chance striped tank” and “flowers of the field floral skirt” with the “inner beauty indie flower hairclip” in my hair, while napping with my two beautiful baby boys; my oldest tucked under my arm and my little one sound asleep on my chest....what a dream come true!

A picnik in the park on a sunny summer day with my darling Husband and my beautiful baby girl crawling and giggling as she tries to chase our little 10 lb. black shi-poo, Drake. I would wear the "symphony of silver bells chiffon top" with a cute pair of jean shorts, navy polka-dot cloche hat, and nude wedges.

My perfect serene moment? Laying on the dock by the lake with a blanket, a good book, a camera, and music.

I would style the 'Whisper Something Sweet Lace Cardi' with a pair of denim shorts & oxford shoes for a walk on the pier.

Laying on the green grass with my sweetheart with the sun shining on my face. I would wear the "be my sweet pea ruffle top" with the "sherlock holmes houndstooth skirt" :)

Discovering Me said...

It would be going to the local old-fashioned deli with my best friend for ice cream. I would wear the “sweet ocean air appliqué chiffon top,” because it is so beautifully flowy. I would pair it with my favorite khaki shorts and leather strappy sandals. I would style it with a cream-colored headband through my curled hair and a chunky wooden bangle on my arm. It would be a deliciously serene moment.

Beverly said...

My perfect Sunlit Serenity finds me outside a café in Downtown Denver. I’m wearing the “breakfast in bed” floral dress and the “plethora of peaches” that blush just as rosy as the berries and fruit in the shops. I might need to slip out of the “lacey lullaby” lace jacket; it has been one of the million sunny, gorgeous days in Colorado. But I leave the “sunshine dance” sunglasses on, of course.

Lacy in the Sky with Diapers said...

It would begin in my favorite city, Charleston,sc. I would be wearing my adorable striped swimsuit with the red bows and floppy tan hat!
Laying on the beach with my two adorable baby boys and my tall, dark and handsome husband!!

tashana said...

My perfect moment of serenity is in a hammock stretched out in the sultry shade of the porch, lying next to old childhood friends with mint juleps in hand, reminiscing, or just swinging in soft silence. I would wear the streams of sweet dreams crochet tunic and the flowers for florence botanical shorts, my Chelsea Crew "Frieda" sandals kicked off on the stairs.

blythe said...

My perfectly serene moment involves a hot bubble bath, a good book (the history of love by nicole krauss), and some riesling.
I'd style the lovely "watching the sun rise floral applique top" tucked into a high waisted midi skirt with pleats, a flower crown, and cut out wedges.

My perfect serene day would be laying with my significant other in a hammock near the river. Listening to Billy Holiday and the sounds of nature. Feeling the sun shining on my face. A slight breeze that forces me to close my eyes and breath deep and get lost in the moment. No worries, no cares. Just nature and two lovers.

I would wear the "from the clouds ruffled dress". Its light and beautiful and pure looking. I'd wear the paprika lexington indie necklace for a bit of vintage. I absolutely adore the boggle floral lace up flats. These would be perfectly vintage with my white ruffled dress.

LaurenF-L said...

My serenity moment would be kissing my husband outside during a sunshower so I could feel the sun and the rain on my face. I'd be wearing the dizzy love applique top and the running on luck pleated shorts in white, with the pristine adelaide pendant necklace and the strolling through the park woven wedges.

Alyssa H. said...

In the quiet of the family reunion’s Canadian cottage, with my cousin playing the piano in the parlor, we relax on the porch. Grandma’s rocking gently to the music, her eyes half closed. Her weathered hands clasp a delicate teacup. My sister swings slowly; cousin Sean is drawing in his sketchbook. I’m sitting with my favorite book forgotten in my lap. I cannot bring myself to read a fairytale when I’m already in one.

I would wear the "sweet ocean air applique chiffon top" with the "pristine adelaide pendant necklace," jeans and no shoes.

Perfectly Serene...Watching a fire die down amongst friends.

My perfectly serene moment would be in the summer time walking through a meadow in the summer time, or walking down a lovely dirt road with no sounds except those of mother nature <3. I would top it off by wearing the "flowers of the field floral skirt" and the "streams of sweet dreams tunic"...

Roots and Feathers said...

Laying with my husband on a homemade quilt in the backyard at night, looking at the stars and hearing the hum of cicadas over Neil Young's Harvest Moon playing in the background. Id be wearing the 'follow me home lace cardigan' with the 'fairytale floral anklets' to keep my toes warm :)

Politigal said...

Walking the shoreline of a beach at dusk, the sun stretching its red-orange-yellow rays across the sky, emilia's charm leather cutout heels (in beige) in one hand, the other entwined with the fingers of the significant other.

Dream Outfit for the Day:
Watching the Sun Rise Floral Top (for its delicate feminine-ness) paired with Running on Luck Pleated Shorts (perfect for playing some beach tag), accentuated with the Garden Treasure necklace (completes the outfit). :)

Beck said...

My perfect serene moment would be at Ripponlea Estate, a beautiful old house and sorrounding gardens just outside Melbourne. I would wander through the ferns and roses wearing the "watching the sun rise floral applique top" paired with a flowy skirt and sandals, perfect garden adventure wear.

Beatriz Alemar said...

My perfectly serene moment would be walking around the streets of Key West with my boyfriend recreating our first trip together... I'd wear the "sweet ocean air applique chiffon top" with a khaki or white flowy skirt and the "ruthenia meadows assymetrical necklace" with its matching earrings to add some sparkle. Just perfect.

Stefany said...

My most perfect serene moment includes a picnic, Central Park, and my boyfriend. We try to have a picnic there at least 4-5 times every summer and I'm always the most at ease when we're laying down on a blanket looking up at the beauty that is Central Park. The follow me home lace cardigan would be perfect for a day that includes relaxing, food, and love. :)

Megan said...

A day filled with family and friends of course; one in which day turns to night without anyone noticing. Lemonade, laughter and smiles that can't be removed even if you try.

I'd be comfy in the serendipity floral maxi and sunshine straw hat. And, as a redhead, I'd be wearing my number one accessory: sunscreen :)

Sara K said...

My serene moment is sitting back home in Saskatchewan during the warm dry summer , sitting in one of my granpa's fields with my sketchbook in hand my jack russel oreo following me and a simple blanket to sit on while i sketch ... i see myself wearing the follow-me-home-lace-cardigan with denim shorts , a pendant , and a pair of vintage cowboy boots .

My most perfect serene moment would be a picnic on the beach with the fiance - in the Sweet Summer Day ruffle detail dress with gold sandals, and a gold California bracelet. :)

m. bloom said...

A Touch of Vintage gray & ano liosia earrings with sandals and a cardigan... a visit to a favorite museum in San Francisco then lunch at my favorite Vietnamese restaurant with my husband our 2 sweet boys... Maybe more fog than sunshine in SF in the summer, and maybe not so serene with the children in tow, but lots of fun and my perfect day, none the less!

Kim said...

my perfect serene moment is sitting by a a windy prairie in the facade of my old wooden house, watching the grass softly dancing with the wind while having a glass of tea.
I really want to go back home badly.

I would style it with lovely "tell me darling racerback crochet dress" and let the wind blow myself up

Jessica Thiessen said...

My perfect serene moment would be in a forest clearing with the bright sun all around me. I would have a favourite book and my favourite person, my hubby, with me.

Of course the wonderful "live in sunshine straw hat" would keep my serene moment from being ruined with a burnt nose :)

Alice (fa11enan9e1) said...

A perfect serene moment is sitting curled up next to my boyfriend, with his arms around me, on the beach, watching the waves. I adore the tell me darling racerback crochet dress and would style it with some high heels, a long necklace and a light cardigan.

Lauren said...

Sitting underneath an apple tree in an orchard just before sunset, with the late afternoon sunlight streaming through the trees ... a book in hand, a carton of chocolate milk in the other, and a plate of brownies by my side -- pure bliss!

I'd be wearing the "streams of sweet dreams crochet tunic" with the "dear ocean town trousers".

Katrina said...

I would pair the the world is brighter with you coral dress with a pair of brown espadrille sandals and a straw hat while I sit on a cliff along the Pacific coast and watch the waves crash.

Sydney Hintz said...

My serene moment is exactly as is pictured on page 23. Late afternoon on the dock, the sun angled in brilliant yellows, the wild grass catching fire in its streaming honey, and my "live in sunshine straw hat" shades me to see it all.

Heidi said...

My serene moment - in the middle of the mountains at a turquoise lake with my sister doing yoga on the beach (i'm so not graceful, lol) while my 1 1/2 year old niece discovers the joy of sand digging for the first time - so cute!

The roxanne swimsuit & crochet vest would be so lovely for that. :)

Hannah said...

my serene moment would be a picnik on a field full of red poppys in the evening. he would kiss me, say cute things and ask me to marry him...

in my dream of the serene moment i wear the "the world is brighter with you coral dress", because even the name of the dress fits perfect! or the "tell me darling racerback crochet dress" because it's so lovely! and the lovely "euphrosyne-of-kiev-bracelet"! ♥


I really hope i'll win!

EVGB said...

I am at a quiet beach, enjoying mild temperatures, lounging on a large comfy papasan, sipping on some refreshing sangria, reading a Jane Austen book, and listening to the gentle waves as they roll toward the pristine sand. Of course, I'll be styling in a simple, romantic and comfortable ensemble of "watching the sun rise floral applique top" and "dear ocean town trousers." Oh, and bare feet. :)

Tündéri Lonka said...

oh my serene moment would be a picnic in the garden with my love, eating strawberrys and cupcake, and kissing all the day!

tell me darling racerback crochet dress - is my dream! (size M) with lacey touch scalloped bralette in black

Meesh said...

Serenity is sometimes a slice of cool honeydew melon amidst the humidity of a summer midnight spent lounging with friends. Other times, the slow drone of an advertising plane over a small, solitary figure tucked into a beach chair some warm morning. The morning daydreaming floral top works as a beach coverup with a big pale sunhat and sandals while doubling as a casual summer top with faded jean cutoffs, brown oxfords and a nude headscarf.

Brechtje said...

My perfect serene moment is lying on my back in the gras listening to the wind rushing through the trees and listening to the birds sing. It would be more perfect if I was wearing the oceanside stripes haltertop, that fitts the moment perfectly.

Rosanna said...

Warm summer evening with a cool breeze on the beach where I spent my childhood summers. The sun just going down fills the sky with colors and there are little boats bobbing on the water and a big portion of hot fish and chips to share with everyone. Followed by a sneak up to the big field of horses.

Wearing
draped and dazzle applique top'
'whisper something sweet lace cardi'
'strolling through the park woven wedges'
nice pair of shorts
colorful summery jewelry

Anonymous said...

serenity=water. Whether it be being at our old apartment at the beach, being in Florence by the Arno with my beau, or stuffing my face at a quite couples only picnic by the lake, as long as there's water and by husband, I'm serene. And to make it all the more gorgeous: the "morning daydreaming floral top"or the "sweet ocean air applique chiffon top" please :)

Unknown said...

I imagine me in the Sunlit Serenity 20 outfit walking between dunes along the beach of the North Sea because I adore Holland seaside and dunes :-)feeling harmony and sweet serenity with nature and myself!

Thank you for the chance!

WDC said...

Serene moment... Soaking in the sun and breathing in the ocean air while walking on the beach with my husband and kids, collecting shells and playing in the surf. I'd be wearing the Roxane striped two piece swimsuit.

Since you're based in SoCal, you probably know of it - I would go for a sunlit brunch at Aroma in Studio City. I love how part of the cafe is in a bookstore, and then it spills out into a lovely patio that gets the perfect amount of sun each day. I'll be there, sipping an iced latte, wearing the Be My Sweet Pea ruffle top, with the navy blue shorts and a blue flower in my hair.

Megane said...

Growing up in the country, the most serene moment I have ever found was in walking down the country lane, with a soft breeze and the sun on my shoulders. All you could hear was the wind.

LiVee said...

With my Sweet ocean air chiffon Top and touch of vintage lace skirt i would sit on the edge of the ocean with my husband and his guitar. Together we would watch the sun descend while we played music. He would accompany my vocals and we would make beautiful music together along with the sounds of the wind, water, and birds.

rose said...

reading a book outside on a 75-degree day, and wearing the oceanside stripes halter, flowers of the field floral skirt, and strolling through the park wedges.

Nicole said...

My perfectly serene day would be spent lounging at the tiny beach at a quiet local park in our town, reading a good book, and just listening to the sound of the waves and the breeze rustling the trees. I would wear the a touch of vintage lace skirt in gray with a gray rosette tank I have and my favorite pair of gray flip-flops. Feminine and simple.

Sailing on the bay, good food, good wine, good company, and my camera. I like the draped and dazzle applique top with the running on luck navy shorts, topped with the live in sunshine straw hat to block the sun and the london fields chain bracelet. :)

LA said...

on the family's sailboat off the coast of Virginia 3 weeks from now, sailing in my oceanside tank, white shorts and wide-brimmed straw hat. A delicious picnic dinner of salami sandwiches, fresh fruit salad and fizzy drinks sparkling in glass bottles. Then my daughter is below deck being rocked to sleep by the gentle waves and the bf and I are enjoying a bottle of wine and watching the sunset.

Kimberly said...

Listening to the rain while curled beneath a weathered quilt, reading a novel and sipping a Martinelli's.

The Streams of Sweet Dreams Crochet Tunic in Sunlit Serentity 9 group is so delicately feminine and a delightful summer piece.

Nicole said...

My perfect serene moment...

Strolling the brick streets of downtown Annapolis and browsing its quaint shops. Afternoon drinks would be along the water, watching the boats float in and out while enjoying the bay breeze. All would be done while wearing the Breakfast in Bed floral dress with the Whisper Something Sweet lace cardi to ward off the breeze.

a little ghost. said...

My serene moment would be sitting in the patio of the Glen Oaks in Big Sur playing Scrabble with my husband in front of the fireplace. I would wear the swept me off my feet chambray dress with no shoes, a glass of wine, and a big smile.

Unknown said...

My perfect serene moment would be shared with my sister. She moved to Austin 2 years ago, while I stayed in Kentucky. She is flying in for a friend's wedding in July, and I can see myself enjoying the wedding and taking in the beautiful scenery with her, all while wearing the Flowers of the Field skirt and Rolling in the Evening Breeze top. Wearing that outfit would make a picture perfect moment with my best friend that much sweeter.

Almost Free said...

The look on pages 60-61 is my absolute favorite!

My serene moment is laying on a hammock by the beach somewhere tropical with my wonderful boyfriend.

Kat said...

My perfect serene moment is sitting on the grass, reading a book in the late afternoon. There would be light breezes to help cool me down. I would be wearing running on luck pleated navy shorts, resting in the hammock sandals, and a wistful crochet vest on top of a walk on the beach ruffle trim top.

Cherise said...

Watching the summer fireworks on the grass at night with good food and lazily sipping some nice chilled wine ^^ And most importantly, it's the people you're with that make it an even better moment.

I would don the "swept me off my feet chambray dress" with some flat sandals - perfect summer feel :D

Jen (Pink) Williams said...

My serene moment would be on the deck at a cabin in Lake Tahoe in summertime, with a glass of red wine and my husband, watching our son play. I'd be wearing the sweet as a rose floral shorts, with the castaway salmon striped sweater
and especially for you gray espadrille wedges.

Joanne Angelina said...

My serene moment is when I would bring a nice Conan Doyle read by the Toronto Islands among the small beaches, the pier and the lighthouse. I would be wearing "Be my sweet pea" ruffle top with "Sherlock Holmes houndstooth" skirt in reflection of the book I'm reading!

classicstorygirl said...

My serene moment would be wearing the Aspiring Aurora one-piece bathing suit and the day in the sunshine hat on Maui. I would stroll to a beachsite massage hut and get a relaxing massage to the sound of REAL ocean waves and birdsongs. THEN I'd grab a frozen drink and head to a lounge chair in the sand. Lying there, the sun would soak into every pore until I felt like I had never been so relaxed in my life. Before long, my eyes would open to a beautiful tropical sunset. Serene indeed!

Rebecca said...

My perfect serene moment is being on my honeymoon this July after I marry my wonderful fiance. I'd be wearing the "Along the Shoreline" cardigan over my swimsuit after we had a picnic dinner on the beach. We'd snuggle closer, watching the sunset and enjoying the beautiful start of our life together.

Danielle said...

My favorite serene spot is on Daniel's Island. Right on the shore past the dunes with the light house in sight. Sitting in a beach chair sketching the scenery in my notebook, listening to the music of the waves crashing.

I would wear: darling daydreamer floral sheer tank, running on luck pleated shorts in white, thessaly meadows indie necklace, chelsea crew frieda sandals, with the twirl me around headband in natural.
:)

emmalemma said...

My serene day would be taking a walk to the prairie near my apartment to explore the curving paths and hidden stream, take pictures of the wild life, and let the breeze blow my hair.

I would wear the "Morning Daydreaming" top, with denim shorts, leather sandals, and lacy scarf in my hair.

Hena Tayeb said...

Would love to wear the outfit on page 19 (with the rosebuds in bloom floral tank) while sipping café au lait and eating beignets at the Cafe du Monde in New Orleans' French Quarter.

Jocelyzer said...

Gathering dandelion puff bouquets with my first beau, kiss, and love in the mountains of Vermont. A dandelion puff battle would shortly ensue...we would leave the field laughing and our hair coated with seeds.
I would like to be wearing "A touch of vintage lace skirt" with a slouchy sleeveless tank, a necklace gifted to me by my boyfriend, and a pair of Oxfords.

Bek said...

The sun would open her face and peek out from over the mountain tops. I would slip on my skirt and eyelet top(Sunlit Serenity 14), and go on a serene walk through the outdoors with the warm sun on my skin, and a smile in my heart, feeling as if the whole world is on my side. I would feel butterflies landing on my outstretched fingers, and see clouds moving through the soft sky like fluffy sheep on a field of blue.

Abby said...

I would take my boy out for gelato wearing a floral romper, strappy wedges and the nimbus cloud bow purse in pink.

Oda said...

My perfect serene moment is a memory. It was one of those magical nights in my country when the sun never sets. My friends and I climbed up on the top of the tower silo on our farm. We stayed up all night drinking champagne and trusting each other with secrets, while the world went quiet, but never dark.
“Flowers for Florence” botanical shorts, paired with a simple blouse and a cute headband, perfect!

melissamilis said...

a serene moment can be everything, it peeks around sometimes. I love when it happens but at the same time, you can't force it and that's what I love about it!
Oh and in a perfect moment I would wear the chambray dress!

LZ said...

My perfect serene moment would be reading a good book on my favorite comfy couch in the living room. I would wear the oceanside stripes halter top with a simple pair of shorts and sandals.

Hannah said...

I would be perfectly serene in a silent moment by the beach. I'd be standing with my hands in those of someone special, and the sight of the sunset would take all of our words away.

One of my favorite pieces from the collection is the flowers from florence botanical garden shorts. I'd style them with a sheer button-up top, tall, strappy wedges and a floral bangle.

Mélanie said...

For my perfect sunlight serenity day, I would like to have my husband with me, back from Afghanistan. I dream about a sunny day, on the Abrahams hills in Quebec City, my hometown. I would lay on his laps, closing my eyes and letting him play in my hair. I imagine wearing the flowers for florence botanical shorts and the watching the sun rise floral applique top so I could go back home on my old bicycle. But I'm just dreaming...because he's not coming back soon...

Olivia said...

My perfect serene day would surprisingly be watching a summer night's thunderstorm on the couch, peering out of my large glass window. I would be wrapped in a blanket and sipping coffee, gazing as the raindrops slide down the window. I would be wearing the darling daydream floral sheer tank, my absolute favorite item from the lookbook.

Solveig Bourdeau-Pouplier said...

My perfect serene day would be playing guitar all day on the beach, without any worries. I would go swim with fish and tan all day.
For this day, I can imagine easily math the flutter through the night sheer top with some white shorts in jean and a ample hat, like the live in sunshine straw hat!

Anonymous said...

Having a picnic outdoors with my daughter and my husband in the sunshine. I would wear the pocket full of posies skirt, rolling in the evening breeze eyelet top, and pick-a-posey light green cardi.

susielynne said...

walking along the beach with my husband. I'd love a cute breezy dress to wear!

Theresa said...

My perfectly serene moment would be a beautiful warm day walking along the water just around sunset, hearing the sounds of nature and nothing else. I'd wear the rolling in the breeze eyelet top with the I like you a latte polka dot skirt accented by the passionate heart applique belt with strappy wedges and a tiered pearl necklace.

Freda said...

I think my perfectly serene moment would be walking barefoot with my husband along the shore of a beach in late afternoon as the sun is starting to go down. I would wear a knee-length simple and airy white dress, a floppy hat, and the erythrina flower necklace!

Yasemin said...

My perfect serene day was on a school trip to Hawai'i. We stayed at a camp on the beach, and one morning I woke up really early and no one was awake. I sat on the beach, listening to the crashing of waves and bird songs as the sky slowly filled with light. I would style my favorite item, the wishful thinking crochet vest, with a floral bustier, high waisted denim cutoffs, and ray-ban wayfarers.

Jo - Lost in the Haze said...

Lying on an oversized towel in my garden on a sunny day. Nothing beats the sun on your face and lying down making daisy chains. The ultimate serenity.

Mrs. Solis said...

My serene day would be getting together with my good friends that I haven't seen in years! We would meet up at a Starbucks and catch up on the the things we haven't talked about over coffee. For this occasion, I'd wear the "Swept me of my feet chambray dress" and "soaking in the sun espadrille wedges." :)

dressed in my from the clouds ruffled dress with small town hearts watercolored short blazer
and olivia lane ruffle slingback wedges, i would be nestled into my husband's chest on a picnic blanket under a huge australian gum tree while the children frolic in the warm lakeside water licking sorbets!

Angela said...

My perfectly serene moments happen every day when I am flying around the house working or immersed in reading for graduate class, and my husband puts his arms around me and holds on for a few minutes. Without him, I would simply forget to be serene.

Here are some favorite items, and I think I would wear them everywhere with everything: the world is brighter with you coral dress, within the garden walls floral trench jacket by Ark & Co., floral whispers cream wedges

Secret Agent Fajardo said...

My serene moment happened one summer night after the last rain drop fell and the only noise I heard were the trickling of rain water down from the roof. I was sitting on the porch with my feet up and eyes closed...

Fiat Lux said...

My serene moment would have me reading in the sun on a lazy afternoon. My boyfriend will have fallen asleep on our picnic blanket beside me and a gentle breeze keeps me from getting too warm. I would wear the 'I'd rather be dreaming tank in navy' with cut off shorts and gladiator sandals.

Amanda said...

My serene moment would be sunbathing on a boat in the middle of a quiet lake with my husband lying by my side and sipping on a frozen peach lemonade. I see me wearing the "roxanne striped two piece swimsuit" and the "live in sunshine straw hat" Aaahhh

ty;mich said...

My perfectly serene summer day would involve GETTING LOST and AWAY from the nasty heat I live in. Anything with the boy isn't too bad either. But a nice long drive, with lots of great coffee and some laughs sounds amazing as well.

To wear!?

I'd go with Sunlit Serenity piece number 7, all the way. Eventually, I'll have to kick the heels off though ;]

deewardani said...

My perfect serene moment would be a walk by the beach, hand in hand with my fiance. The sun showering us with its warmth and the waves slowly covers our bare-feet while we walk. All I can hear is his voice and the sound of the breeze and the waves.

I would be wearing the beautiful and relaxing "tell me darling racerback crochet dress" and "isolde's legacy indie bow headband by Petit Plume", with a beautiful lace shawl to cover my bare shoulders.

Adele said...

The moment would be laying on a blanket on a warm sandy beach after swimming in the sea for a reeeeally long time, wearing the 'aspiring aurora' bathing suit. When I'm completely dry and warm all over, I'd go for a walk along the beach, wearing the 'tell me darling' dress and 'whisper something sweet' cardi if it gets too windy; looking for pretty seaglass and seashells

Tess De Plecker said...

Sitting in the grass, whatching the Tuscan sunset, smelling the lavender, the pasta that is being cooked and the grass you're sitting on.
That moment after a hot summerday when you realise it's cooling down at last and the sky is turning pink and purple.
That moment when you know tomorrow will be an as perfect day as today has been and imagining a life being like this.
That moment when you don't have anything to worry about, nothing on your mind but the fact that you're still wearing that "audrey navy polka dot two piece swimsuit" and your "I'll stand by you crochet back tunic" and deciding that you'll wear the "slow on sunday morning dress" for dinner although it is evening and you have no idea which day of the week it is.
In short that moment that is so perfect that you don't realise how perfect it is until later because everything is so perfect that you don't realise it at all.

(sorry for possible mistakes, English is not my mother tongue)

Jessica said...

My serene moment would be watching the sun set on the beach with my sweetheart.
I would style the "Breakfast in bed floral dress" with the "Lacey lullaby jacket". Paired with this would be the "resting in the hammock sandals "Clarissa's charisma flower headband".

Sarah Lorentz said...

My Serenity Moment would take place on the sandy shores of a quiet lake. The fading light of a summer evening would dance off the glassy waters.

I'd wear the oceanside stripes halter top and running on luck pleated shorts in navy. I would also need the live in sunshine straw hat to complete my look.

Blue Shore House said...

My serene moment is sitting on the beach with my husband & baby girl watching what I call a sequined sunset-the moment the sun reaches the horizon an explosion of brightness occurs, like sequins bursting. It is my time to reflect how blessed I am-when nature and my world collide.

I'd wear "follow me home lace cardigan" over "darling daydreamer floral sheer tank" with "running on luck pleated navy shorts" and no shoes.

A perfectly serene moment for myself would be enjoying a cup of hot tea on the back porch while I slowly drink in the fading colours of the sunset. I love the Chelsea Crew "Susan" oxfords. I have a sundress and straw hat that would complement it perfectly!

I am at my most serene when I have a coffee and I get to drive around town looking for great bargains. I love to unwind and shut off my brain and just pick through aisles and racks of clothes and piece together new outfits :) :) :)

Taking my sweet daughter outside to run around in the grass barefoot. She runs to me with all smiles and I scoop her up as she babbles 'mama'. I wrap 'follow me home lace cardigan' around us both which will be hers one day.

Alexandra Frankel said...

White sandy beach, the sound of crashing waves, my girls laughing, and a cold pina colada in hand... no where to be, nothing to do.. just relaxing for as long as I want to... ooohh I can picture it now!!

Lauren Elizabeth B said...

My perfect serene moment is when I am drinking a cup of coffee in the streets of my hometown before I head to work. I am wearing the "running on luck white pleated shorts" with my previous purchases from ruche- my favorite light green cardigan and navy blue top from the last lookbook. I finish my outfit with the flower sandals that are close to selling out. Overall, I feel great enough to start my day and this moment of sereneness is something I enjoy!

My most serene moments are when I paddle the canoe out to the middle of our pond. I relax against the bow of the boat and read while nature (literally!)sings around me.

Sunlit Serenity would be the Sunlit Serenity look #9 (Either one!): easy, breezy, and comfortable.

Sitting under a gazebo on a rainy day reading a book and listening to the raindrops fall.

Caroline said...

My serene, happy place is walking down the cobblestone streets in Wilmington NC with my iced latte, checking out the antiques- wearing my "tell me darling racerback crochet dress" with my red wedges and red beads. The ocean air and warm humidity just does it for me!

kendra said...

Serenity is simple at my house- vintage lawnchair, iced coffee and sidewalk chalk for my two boys! Of course while I am sunning I need something as bright as their creations, so I would pick style 23- bright blue swimsuit and big floppy hat! This way I will not mind if I get a little wet when I hose them clean! <3

Gabrielle Watson said...

Well my personal perfectly serene moment was when I held my baby girl in my arms after being in labor for 21 hours. It was magical.

However if I had any other serene moment I would most likely pair it with a nice straw hat, embellished tank, high waist full skirt with belt and sandals. And it would probably be at Disney World :)

Unknown said...

I would wear the Sunlit Serenity 1 dress with a big floppy hat and a couple of chunky bracelets for the opening day of the DMB Caravan at the Gorge Amphitheater.

There is no feeling more serene than when you walk over the huge grassy hill and your eyes fall upon the stage set against the backdrop of the Columbia River. Except the feeling when night falls at the Gorge and you hear the music that makes your soul dance as you gaze up at the never-ending stars in the black sky.

Thanks so much for the giveaway, love!!!

What a beautiful lookbook. Every page makes me happier and happier and just warms my heart.

One of my most serene moments is just being in paris, my heart feels at home and seeing the Eiffle tower twinkle at night feels like the world just stops and that is the my most serene feeling. If I won the gift card I would love to win the outfit on page 3.

I would make sure I look adorable in the morning daydream floral top, shorts, sandals and floral headband.

Sunflower said...

A sunny picnic in an old cemetery, where I can make headstone rubbings and sketch the flowers. The "sailing the floral sky tank," paired with a long skirt and a flower in my hair, would match the timeless, serene atmosphere of the cemetery.

My serene moment would be cooking brunch for my best friends and enjoying mimosas and a nice summer breeze! Nothing better than food, friends and laughter. The "sweet ocean air applique chiffon top" emphasizes summer to me and reminds me of swimming pools and blue skies.

Jessica McCann said...

The gleam of dusk, the sun begins to slumber in the mountains scoop. The sky explodes with vibrant colors as crickets begin their melody and fireflies awaken with a courtship dance filling the fields with speckled light. The air is dry with a kiss of summer breeze-watching the billions of stars light the black. A serendipity-moment-floralmaxi-and a wistful-dreaming-crochet-vest as my hands capture fireflies in a floppy-live-in-sunshine-straw-hat as a purity-of-mind-key-pendant necklace dangled from my neck.

Mayra Harket said...

My perfect serene moment would be with my boyfriend having some kind of picnic near to the orange trees that are near my home. I imagine both of us enjoying the sunlight, eating sandwiches, making jokes, reading our favorite books and just enjoying the moment. For that special occasion I would wear the “Flowers in the field floral skirt”. I know he’d love to see me in that skirt :)

My serene moment would be recreating our 1st wedding anniversary trip to Portland, Oregon with my husband. We'd bring our baby girl and just wander through the city and spend lots of time reading and browsing at Powell's Books, visiting cafes, having a beer at a pub and enjoying the long summer days. I would be wearing the "tell me darling racerback crochet dress" with the "cheyenne autumn wide woven belt" with a 3-quarter length denim jacket, the "ruthenia meadows assymetrical necklace," the "moonlit blossoms silver earrings," and the "flower strung thong sandals." :)

sarah said...

My serene moment is composed of a sugar white sandy beach, turquoise waves crashing along the shore, a colorful umbrella for shade, a delicious ice cold drink, a wonderful book in my hands, and my precious husband by my side... life could not be better. For this moment, I'd wear the closing statements light blue floppy hat & the roxanne striped two piece swimsuit.

I would say my serene moment would be sitting on the beach, sunset with a glass of red wine after a long walk on the local pier. I would wear the "serendipity moment floral maxi" paired with a thong sandle. something like your flower strung sandle. Would pull my wavy hair half back into a clip and have my favorite vintage (long chain)locket around my neck. Quiet time for a busy Mama. :)

Samantha said...

My perfect serene moment would be to meet my love in the city, park our cars, and to roam along the coast holding hands for hours. We wouldn't have to be talking to have a good time either. It would be serene in knowing that I was in the presence of my love.
To this beautiful date, I would wear Sunlit Serenity #3: "be my sweet pea" ruffle top and "sherlock holmes houndstooth" skirt. I would wear the pearls he gave to me to top it all off.

My perfect serene moment.... a white crochet hammock between to weeping willow trees next to a lake, a slight cool breeze that lightly swing a dainty windchime for some sound along with the leaves blowing softly through the air, and me wearing the met you by chance striped tank and flowers of the field floral skirt with the inner beauty indie flower hairclip in my hair, while napping with my two beautiful baby boys; my oldest tucked under my arm and my little one sound asleep on my chest....what a dream come true!

A warm sunny day sitting on a park bench along the Ottawa Rideau Canal, barefoot rubbing my feet in the green grass. My hair would be loose wavy and flowing in the light wind, I would be wearing a light pink flowey imbroderied dress with a thin tanned clored leather belt and bangles.

Georgiablue22 said...

My perfectly serene moment would be spent on a softly sunny day, first roaming the streets and shops of a beautiful beach-side town, hanging my hand gently in my fiance's as we slowly tap our feet down the street. After snapping up yummy frozen yogurt to cool our tongues, we would spend the afternoon lounging on a for-two-sized towel on the beach, our legs and feet tangled together as we name the clouds and minutes floating by.

I would choose the dear ocean town trousers, paired with the sweet ocean air applique chiffon top and the gracefully glowing on the golden sand wedges for just a smidge of height. I would wear the plethora of peaches beaded necklace set to add a pop of color. For the beach, I would choose to wear the roxanne striped two piece swimsuit with the live in sunshine straw hat for a touch of shade for my sunny nose!

I hope you enjoyed my little slice of heaven!

Elizabeth said...

Serenity is being at harmony with yourself and the world around you...it is easiest to be at peace when the world is still. My perfectly serene moment would be laying in field of wild flowers on a hill watching the sun set in brilliant hues of pink and orange. A perfect outfit to wear would be the serendipity moment floral maxi, with the follow me home lace cardigan to keep warm. I would wear my hair down loose over my shoulder and would be barefoot so my toes could feel the warm earth. The thessaly meadows indie necklace would be around my neck... my fingers always need something to play with when I am lying down!

JCREWGAL said...

My perfect serene moment is a picnic lunch with my husband. Wine, delicious food and a perfect date before heading to the Hollywood Bowl.

My Serene moment would be a peaceful and relaxing day at the bookstore. Sitting by the window while it is pouring outside, I am drinking a hot cup of coffee, reading some sweet and romantic novel. I listen to the soft and calming sounds of the rain outside and hear the hushed murmur of the people talking around me as i am engulfed in my book.

Seeing Spots said...

Curling up on the beach with a blanket, picnic breakfast, and well-worn copy of Robinson Crusoe is my idea of the perfectly serene moment. Early in the morning, the sand is cool to the touch and, with the big crowds still hours away, I could walk along the beach alone and content, holding onto my Live in the Sunshine Straw Hat and imagining I'm Crusoe as I watch my sandy footprints fade with the tide.

My Serene moment would be sitting in my back yard underneath all my cheery, fig and olive trees on a nice, sunny day. Sipping Ice cold tea flavored with mint that is growing in my herb pot and having wonderful conversations with my closest friends.

I would wear the "watching the sun rise floral applique top" with the "Running on luck pleated shorts in navy." "Blowfish Nikita grey flats" would cover my feet while the "plethora of peaches beaded necklace set" hangs delicately on my neck. "glistening petals silver indie earrings" will finish my serene look.

starshollowchic said...

walking outside when the sun is just peaking out, and feeling the slightly wet grass hit my legs. Get in to the car to get some hot tea when it's chilly but have the heater on my feet. I would loved to match the Rosebuds in bloom tank with the khaki rolled up shorts, red wedges, and a light linen/canvas tote and a big floppy hat.

My perfect serene moment would be me driving to a remote place away from the city with only me, a cup of java, my iPod filled with indie music, and my camera where I would stop as many stops as I desire on the way to find that perfect snapshot. It's hard to just stop as I please when I drive with my husband. I don't think he has the patience for that.

For this I would wear the halter top and the pleated short shown on Serenity 10. Under it, I would put on the roxanne striped two piece swim suit so that when I'm done snapping, I could call up my bff to meet me at a beach nearby for some sun bathing and catch up on life.

Syrenna said...

My perfect, serene moment would be sitting with my amazing husband beneath a tree enjoying a summer day while wearing an appropriate top to match how energized and at peace I feel like the sweet ocean air applique chiffon top with the vintage lace grey skirt =)

My serene moment would be: On a not so sunny day on an isolated lush green beach, my husband and me sitting in front of the ocean and digging our feet into the cool sand. Looking at horizon where the aqua blue ocean meets the sky. Me wearing a cream colored long ruffled sun dress with chocolate brown frills and lace trimmings on it, baby pink and aqua blue floral prints on it. To go along with it, I will be wearing a large cream straw hat with a bright sunflower on it and a big fabric tote bag. Time will freeze as we get lost in each other in this moment forever.

Anna Motti said...

My perfect serene moment would be lying on the deck of a sailing boat with my boyfriend... enjoying the sun, the breeze and jumping in the water from time to time to refresh ourselves. After an afternoon spent like this, we'd go to dinner at a restaurant from which you can see the whole gulf, and id be wearing the gwaii islands floral maxi dress <3

jasmine said...

my perfect serene moment: taking a nice long stroll, just as the sun is coming up, before everyone is up and about. my usual route has me cutting across the dewy field. i love how the crinkle of the grass cuts through the morning silence, and how the world seems to wake up with every step i take. the blowing wind is peppered with birdcalls; you get the odd dog barking. it is slightly chilly and my feet get a little damp, but it's lovely all the same. i would wear the draped and dazzled applique top with the touch of vintage skirt in gray: simple, comfy and flowy.

My serene moment would be near the ocean, surrounded by beautiful green trees, grass everywhere. I'd be leaning against my kayak with journal and book out, watching the sun come up with a cup of coffee. And I'd be wearing the running on luck pleated shorts in navy with the streams of sweet dreams crochet tunic.

Of course my man would be beside me breaking the silence only to share in the beauty surrounding us.

For a perfect summer day, I'd enjoy a tall glass of unsweetened sun tea by the breezy bay. Lounging in the Darling Daydreamer Floral sheer tank on a sandstone colored chaise with sleep pulling at my eyes, I kick my Soaking in the Sun espadrille wedges off my feet to slumber in the tangy ocean breeze shielded under the shade of palm trees.

For a perfectly serene summer day, I would take a long walk in the early morning, wearing the swept me off my feet chambray dress, the live in sunshine straw hat, floral aria toggle bracelet, and sandals, while I enjoyed a fresh fruit smoothie. I would call up my best friends, and go flea-marketing with them, stopping whenever for adorable pictures, and just enjoy the wonderful day.

I just discovered Ruche today, and I am in LOVE! It is as if I have found a designer who creates looks that are completely dictated by my style--WOW! Thank you for offering this company!
Okay, one of my favorite serene moments was getting to travel with my husband before we had kids (now 2 and 5 year old boys). One particular stop was in Cinque Terre, Italy. One late afternoon, we went to a tiny, outdoor cafe overlooking the ocean. We played cards while snacking on kalamata olives and sipping drinks. Time seemed to dissolve with the setting of the sun and the softening ocean breezes. It was quiet, still, and beautiful all around, and we just enjoyed that moment in time with one another, letting the rust colored sky, distant clinking dinner plates being set, and the salty, rustling waves soothe us. That memory has made that location one of our favorite places we traveled, and we were blessed to go to many wonderful places together.
I would wear the BEAUTIFUL "dizzy love applique top" with any pair of your fun white or khaki shorts. I would have a perfect seaside shoe, such as an espadrille or woven wedge sandal. I automatically thought of the dizzy love top, not only because it is one of my favorites, but because the name so well describes the moment--dizzy with love for my hubby and the fullness of my senses in that beautiful, romantic moment in time.

Rachelle said...

Walking along the beach with my live in sunshine straw hat, and that all dashing aspiring aurora one piece bathing suite. Dig my toes in the sand, staring off into the summer sunset; building a small fire pit with my friends. Roasting marshmellows and drinking organic tea, as the sun eliminates our moments. I'd wear the wistful dreamy vest to keep the stormy breeze away, and await the moon lit skies to guide us into this magical night.

Elicia said...

My perfectly serene moment would take place on the beach where white sand meets clear turquoise waters and white rocky cliffs of the Mediterranean in Cassis, France. Not another person in sight, and just an hour or so before sunset, my husband would be serenading me with gentle guitar melodies on his Martin acoustic. We'd relax on the white sandy beach in the fading sunshine, curled up on a blanket with some baguettes, brie, Nutella, and a few bottles of wine. I'd lounge barefoot sweetly in the Serendipity Moment floral maxi, my long hair loosely braided across my shoulder under the Shores of Panama floppy hat. The Follow Me Home lace cardigan and Flower Strung Thong Sandals would be tossed to the side, waiting for the moment the sun finally eclipses the sea, and the cool salt breeze begins to chill us.

Catherine said...

Serenity. In my hammock after hours of driving my body melts into my hammock and almost forget my feet are even there! The sun bleached rope of the hammock blend in perfectly with my strolling through the park woven wedges. The bay breeze is the perfect combination of the salty nautical air and the fresh water mixing. The same with my skirt and belt, wearing the cheyenne autumn wide woven belt and the in line with you striped skirt, reminding me of the ropes on the sail boat and the whimsical nautical stripes. As the sun starts to set I snuggle into my weightless hammock as and the evening breeze sets in and my rolling in the evening breeze eyelet top turns from white to gold in setting sun, and I want to hold on to the peaceful moment forever, in my serenity.

Kathleen Frank said...

Perfect serene moment, laying on a blanket by the river in the late afternoon sun in my swept me off my feet chambray dress, fingers playing with my new citrus delight beaded necklace, as soft music plays in the background and I watch my husband and puppy play nearby.

A perfectly serene moment starts by waking up with the sound of ocean tides, taking a morning walk in the beach, feeling the breeze in my face. Spending the day on a beach chair reading a long book drinking lemonade =) Oh! while wearing a beautiful "live in sunshine straw hat"

A perfectly serene moment would be going to a drive in movie with my boyfriend and sitting on top of my navy blue 65 mustang cuddling in a blanket watching a black and white love story.....

I would wear, " in a bed of roses strapless dress" with the "courageous love ruched cardi" on top. I would pare this outfit with some red or black heals a flower in my hair and some curls to match!

Lily Baroque said...

In the green sunlight, under the honey-smelling chestnut tree, I'm twanging on my baroque lute's strings. My sweet love's head is on my knees. We've just had a picnic, and he gently fell asleep, listening to the music. In front of us, the river is flowing. End of the day. The moment is perfectly serene, I am wearing my mom's the word floral dress with an old porcelain brooch, a Ruche flower clip in my hair, and no shoes.

Lily Baroque said...

Gaaah, I'm wrong on the name of my dress. It's not the mom's word floral dress (that I oredered today, hence my error), it is the from the from the clouds dress :D
