This delicious book begins with an invitation to discover joy every day, just as Kerrie Hess does. Her fabulously creative life has turned her into one of the most eagerly-watched influencers on Instagram. Kerrie's secret is that she's discovered the little things that make her heart sing, and now she wants to help you do the same. From the very first sparkling words to the charming illustrations of macarons, peonies, teacups, and jewelry to the images of strong, chic women who grace its pages, this book is a love letter and guide to what makes us truly happy.
Weaving through pleasures, including relaxation, creative pursuits, time with family and friends--in person or virtually--as well as fashion, beauty, home, and travel, Kerrie shares her favorite joy-givers and her tips for bringing sparkling moments into each day.
Brimming with Kerrie's signature original watercolor illustrations and photo vignettes, and beautifully evocative text written with Paris Dreaming author Katrina Lawrence, this book is an unquestionable object of desire. Garance Doré's Live Love Style meets Inès de la Fressange's Parisian Chic, with plenty of powerful prettiness and personality that is all Kerrie's, and that will help every reader discover her own sources of inspiration and daily delight.
