separates.

Basics. It’s all about starting with great quality, versatile pieces. You can literally pull a look together in a matter of minutes when you have the right options in front of you. What we look for is mostly neutral pieces and a pop of style with a chic Bohemian style scarf and/or silver accessories.

We have a few looks featured here that accomplish most of what we look for during the warmer months. “Bermuda” shorts are key when it comes to looking pulled together, but it does depend on your height, so we like them to land approximately four fingers above the knee. Any well-made short that lands right on your body type is a winner in our book. Paired with a cotton tank top or tee, a lightweight blouse, just in case there’s a cool breeze that comes out of nowhere, and a few timeless accessories that pull the entire look together. We’ll go into that in another post, and we’ll feature all our favorite pieces!

Keeping a variety of fresh-looking, stylish separates in your closet saves you time and energy and lets you focus on what’s important, living your life to the fullest!

Style tip: Keep an extra pair of comfortable shoes in the car. Stylish tennis shoes, sandals, wedges, etc. Don’t ask. You’ll thank us later!

Caldwell.

Here’s a hit from the past that never disappoints. Mr. Bobby Caldwell singing, What You Won’t Do for Love. The harmony is magic and the lyrics are timeless…

I guess you wonder where I’ve been I searched to find a love within
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can’t let go

My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well I’m in a daze from your love, you see
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can’t let go

Some people go around the world for love
But they may never find what they dream of

What you won’t do, to do for love
You tried everything but you don’t give up
In my world only you
Make me do for love what I would not do

My friends wonder what is wrong with me
But I’m in a daze from your love, you see
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can’t let go

But then I only want the best, it’s true
I can’t believe the things I do for you

What you won’t do, do for love
You’ve tried everything but you won’t give up
In my world, only you make me do for love what I would not do
Make me do for love what I would not do
Make me do for love what I would not do
Make me do for love what I would not do

❤️

Enjoy!

{ Dark CHOCOLATE 101 }

While those heart-shaped boxes of milky, cream-filled bonbons don’t qualify, recent studies show that pure dark chocolate is actually really, really good for you! That doesn’t mean you should stack a massive supply next to the remote control and settle in for the winter, but wouldn’t that be FUN!?!  But in moderation, you can enjoy the glorious taste of dark chocolate guilt-free.

LOOK FOR…

Appearance High-quality dark chocolate should have a high-gloss sheen, not a “bloomed” (blotchy, almost dusty) look.

Feel Because it starts to soften at about 97 degrees, good chocolate should melt in your hand.

Sound You should hear a solid snap when you crack off the corner of the bar, proof that it was tempered (or melted and cooled to the desired crystal structure) properly

Enjoy these irresistable selections…XO ~ Tresors De Luxe

( chocolate and jewelrywhat more does a girl really need?!?)

Dark chocolate truffles rolled in bittersweet cocoa…

Rich in antioxidants, it satisfies the deepest darkest cravings…

We’ve been counting down the days to summer, and we’re officially 15 days away!  One of our all time favorite ways to spend a leisure summer evening is with a refreshing homemade sparkling lemonade in hand,  the faint smell of bbq off in the distance, and to be surrounded by flickering summer lanterns!  Dusk is the perfect time to light these exotic ceramic, metal and glass candle holders up!

Here’s to many of these types of relaxed summer evenings for each of you…
