]]> I traveled to Greece in high school, and lately visions of the gorgeous scenery keep flashing in my head. The colors were so vivid—the crisp white buildings against an azure sky with pops of bougainvillea. Ahhh, heaven. Mykonos and Santorini were my favorite islands. Yes, they are the most popular of the Greek Isles, but in no way do they feel too touristy—the beauty is overwhelming! Questioning where you should vacation this summer? Look no further…

]]> I am a sucker for monochromatic flowers. Don’t get me wrong, I love flowers in all colors, but sometimes a monochromatic color palette makes the perfect statement. I came across these images in Natasha Lisitsa’s book, Exuberant Floral Art. I love the unexpected yellow/orange/red color palette (so used to seeing pinks/purples)!

]]> These beauties are from the lens of Olivia Rae James, a Charleston based photographer. Her photos have this understated elegance to them—ethereal would be a great word. I have a keen notion that she is a flower lover at heart.
