Garden create a memory,
every plant with its own story.
Family and friends all contribute.
Sharing how plants came to me is so cute.
A memory – Life is a Garden Party, volume II
Yes, garden do create memorable moments. It’s not all they do for us. Whether it’s a walk in a beautiful garden, the love labor of gardening or a get together with friends in your backyard, it’s been shown by a few studies that living near a garden or if you green an area it can improve our energy levels, inspire our creativity and generate happiness. With our busy schedules, we often end up forgetting these three important activities, especially the last one. Neglecting such vital needs can have a negative effect on our emotional, mental and physical health.
One of the most enjoyable ways to reconnect with friends and family is by throwing an outdoor party. With that in mind we thought of co-hosting a virtual garden party for our 4th Edition of When Fashion and Nature Collide. Mark your calendars, it’s on June 20th. Hope you’ll come laugh, love and embrace life with us!
Until then here’s a sneak peak of some elements you’ll find in our June Issue: a butterfly, an ant, a straw bag, a peach Fritillaria stenanthera… And so much more. Indeed this is the biggest edition we have produced so far. It includes 10 outfit ideas, 8 critters, 12 flowers, lots of DIY, artworks and many more surprises you won’t want to miss!
Creative concept and collage by 3C Style, Photography by Marie-Claude Viola, Ant & butterfly photography by Growing Self and Fritillaria stenanthera photography by The Arty Plantsman. 
Since this is a fashion blog after all I will give you a tip. You probably already know that the hoop trend is still in this Summer. You don’t have to brake the bank to get the latest Chanel bag. Just use a bracelet to create an instant new look for your small handbag. Hide the chain strap inside the bag.
And finally some more garden quotes:
Let us be grateful to people who make us happy. They are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. – Marcel Proust
Wherever life plants you, bloom with grace. – French proverb
To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow. – Audrey Hepburn
If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need. – Marcus Tullius Cicero
The love of gardening is a seed once gown that never dies. – Gertrude Jekyll
Stay strong, stay stylish!
