Claude Monet, the famed impressionist painter, enjoyed the stillness and beauty of his garden in Giverny. So many of his paintings were inspired by the beautiful water lilies in the lake, the Japanese bridge, and the profusion of flowers of shades of pink, mauve, lavender, which punctuated the landscape amid billowing trees swaying in the breeze.
I grew up seeing Monet’s work all over my home’s walls. I remember gazing at each painting’s intricate brushstrokes wishing that I could jump through the frame into the garden. Today, my soul lights up whenever I see a lake full of waterlilies and flowers.
I had a lovely time putting together some of these clothing looks inspired by Monet’s work. I loved the diffused colors melting together in the romantic-themed clothing inspired by Monet’s Waterlilies.

A walk can be so energizing to our mind, body, and soul. One of the most relaxing places to take a stroll is Echo Park Lake. We are often so busy in our lives that we do not take the time to reflect, refocus, recharge and renew our minds. Swan paddle boats are available for rental and they are a magnificent sight at night all lit up and moving across the lake.
