Summer and Joni Mitchell

I figured I would just keep going with the whole 60-70's female musician muses of mine. Joni Mitchell is my absolute all time favorite. If I could only listen to one musician for the rest of my life it would be her. Her music is poetry and the pictures speak for themselves.

On another note, we went to Breck for a friend's bike race and the weather there was unbelievably gorgeous. And there flowers were everywhere, I couldn't stop taking pictures. Besides the warmth and the abundance of flowers, one of my favorite things about summer, is fresh berries. Especially when I get to eat them out of a gorgeous Japanese bowl that my Grandma gave me.

New Hat and Carly Simon

Ever since I saw the cover of my Mom's Carly Simon record No Secrets, I have had the image of Carly Simon's unique fashion style imprinted on me, especially her hat. Then as I got older I saw this image of Sienna Miller in a magazine, in a hat reminiscent of Carly's. And just yesterday I finally found my version of these two hats, in a thrift store that just opened in my town. I couldn't believe it! It's the perfect hat for everything, reading outside, hiking, etc. I have not taken it off since I walked out the thrift store's door.

I am currently reading the book Girls Like us and I found myself falling in love with Carly Simon's style all over again. It's so timeless, you could wear any of the above outfits today and look completely stylish. Those tall boots, that poncho, that floral dress, SO CUTE! Check out the book, which also includes Joni Mitchell and Carole King, it's a good read so far!

And I discovered last night that Carly Simon has her own blog here
