{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

{happy monday + a give-away}

. . . hello! monday, monday and beautifully exhausted after a summer weekend away, lavender-laden thoughts still lingering . . . and while wonderful to get away, always lovely to return home again to a new week filled with a million brilliant things: to do, to see, to plan, to accomplish, to dream . . .

hope you had a spectacular weekend & wishing you a perfect start to the week,
xo

{p.s.} new & lovely things you may have missed:
* colour inspiration: shades of citron
* in the bedroom: crisp summer whites

{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 . . .
