Downton Abbey & Ralph Lauren a Perfect Match

February 17, 2012 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 6 Comments

I have always been a huge fan of Ralph Lauren, I love his classic looks and always find something in every collection, especially Fall, to wear. 

To me Ralph Lauren represents an old English, “country pile”, relaxed elegance. Pair that with Downton Abbey which swept through  England and now America and you have a match made in heaven, fashion heaven I guess.

I am on the edge of my chair just thinking about Downton Abbey this weekend. I cannot believe it is the last episode of the season. I guess if there is any consolation it is Christmas at the Abbey and all of my English blog friends said this episode is the best of the season and ties up several loose ends. I hope tying up the loose ends does not include Mr. Bates going to jail! I wonder if we will see a bit more of  Patrick? Will Mary and William progress or will they be held back by Sir Richard? Whatever happens I am sure that it will be fabulous.

What are your plans for the weekend? Will you be relaxing? Or do you have chores? Traveling or staying put? I think I will be doing some relaxing, some work, and a bit of traveling; sure to be a busy weekend that is for sure.

Whatever you do my friends, I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Be safe and enjoy.

    Hello darling Elizabeth ~
    Yes, I love the world that
    RL fashion evokes. I truly
    would wear any of the black
    dresses that you featured.
    I didn't know that this Sunday
    will be the last DA, Season 2!
    I really savored last week's two
    hour episode, breaking it down
    into two viewings.

    It's a long weekend and the boys
    are off to Colorado, so it's just me
    and MY Elizabeth, enjoying a girl's
    weekend. A lot of home and a few
    outings; the perfect balance that we
    both love!

    Happy Saturday,
    xx Suzanne

Grief is just love with no place to go.” Thank y Grief is just love with no place to go.” Thank you my friends for all of your kind messages, thoughts and prayers.

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~ “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~Percy Bysshe Shelly  my answer to that is I hope not! This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe. I’m praying for all of you without power and heat and hope it is restored soon. #pinkaesthetic #art #acrylicpainting #painting #details #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artworld #color #artoftheday #quote #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #artofinstagram
