~A Beautiful Life Must Be Made!!~Sweet August Reflections Unfiltered~

12:16 PMCapitol de Beaute Blog by Melanie Woodroffe

So much reflecting & pondering going on with me today!

The month of August brings out the anticipation of the end of Summer.

Autumn is closer than Spring; Summer 2014 will soon be left somewhere in the past, a distant memory of what was, yet still is, like something lingering on the brink of change, but not quite there.

I can not say that 2014 has been the very best for me. I have lost loved ones. My Family and Friends are everything to me. It has been hard, however, I am an optimist and God's love burns a bright flame within me. He has given me amazing people, great talents, opportunity, and most of all, life and I truly live it!

Below are just a few things that make me smile & grateful.

I wish you the best this month, and I hope that you remain hopeful in the pursuit of your dreams and a life full of beautiful things.

My adorable desk full of found objects!
I love to be surrounded by beauty and things with history.

My motto! If you don't try, how can you know?

My sweet love, Louis. He turned 9 years on July 31st!

When in doubt, go dig in the dirt! It is our life force, and the garden brings me hope.

I love lovely things, and being a fashion/lifestyle writer has brought me many opportunities! Super grateful, even though it is an ebb and flow industry.

I love clouds! They are so mood and broody! I am always looking to the sky for help and hope!

I adore vintage and antique anything, like I said previously, I love things with history.

The crystal & sterling jewelry box was passed down to me from a great, great Aunt.

What girl doesn't love Chanel. I stalked these at Saks Atlanta! I love that store!

What can I say, I love my friends!

These are not mine! I wish! Too small! They belong to my friend who owns a couture retail store called Doubletake.
They do represent all of the things I love about life. It's sparkle, it's shine and it's one size does not fit all. Interesting that a shoe reminds me of such?!
