{two lovely things: luxurious textures}

. . . whether tiered & romantically lacy cupcake stands or a warm & welcoming pile of mohair blankets, there is nothing quite like the quiet luxury of beautiful textures to warm up an early autumn morning . . .

{p.s.} recent two lovely things:
* black & white
* mirror, mirror
* bits of green

{hello + happy monday}

. . . hello! . . . monday, monday and sincerest apologies for the long absence, both here and on twitter -- delightfully surprised by unexpected guests from out of town on friday, and after the afternoons around and about and the late dinner reservations, dancing in heels and conversations long into the night, quaint british pubs and brunches of eggs benedict and bellinis, spent an unintentional and very rare few days nearly completely offline . . . and lovely to be back again to what has been missed while away and while still much to get caught up on, also many wonderful things to share this week . . .

hope you are well & wishing you a perfect start to the week,
xo

{p.s.} more feathers

{colour inspiration: driftwood}

. . . soft summer skies and the nostalgia of worn floorboards, quiet glimmers of crystals on a chandelier, a sequined wrap or a mirror -- on this early may afternoon, daydreams are filled with the warm, seaside shades of driftwood . . .

{colour inspiration: spring green}

. . . the stems of lilies and fluttery dresses, new leaves and the glass of champagne bottles -- whether sage, seafoam, lakeshore or chartreuse -- mornings have been filled with the celebration of spring green . . .

{happy monday + easy elegance}

. . . good morning! monday, monday and hope you've had beautiful a weekend -- it's a three cups of freshly ground coffee and hopelessly elegant antique french bed kind of morning, upholstered, of course, in perfectly charming pink & white polka dots . . .

{p.s.}
* more dots here
* a lovely way to begin the week {thank you!}

{two lovely things: mirror, mirror}

{two lovely things}: whether an extraordinarily elegant 1940s dressing table from the south of france or a exquisitely ornate 1920s mirrored table with a charming pink glass lamp and spring roses, the dazzling glimmer of mirrored things always infuses perfect glamour into every room . . .

{p.s.} a few things on this bright thursday morning:
* fun new things at the side project
* bicycling in heels
* and the third guest post for lucky magazine can be viewed here

{thoughts on a rainy afternoon}

. . . a drizzly, foggy afternoon on one of those weeks where a million things are happening at once, and today is e-mails, projects, deadlines and out the door for a late lunch, but wanted to say a quick hello -- and shall return later today with some perfectly exciting news . . .

hope you're having a lovely thursday,
xo

{p.s.} have been obsessed with florals lately

{a farewell to wintery things}

. . . and after all the sunny and sun-drenched days, thoughts of wintry things are banished and it's farewell to cozy mohair blankets, tucked away for light and breezy linens, the fallen ashes of fireplaces cleared away for a fresh bouquet or an arrangement of candles for romantic summer nights, or, for a little adventure and all-out glamour, charmingly rustic wood alongside a dazzling mirror ball . . .

{castles in the air}

“If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them.”

– Henry David Thoreau

. . . beautifully ornate mirrors and pretty heels, antique fireplaces and lace-trimmed linens, quilted coverlets and a few quite moments on a misty tuesday afternoon . . .
