{colour inspiration: gold & lilac}

. . . high-heeled shoes and cupcake wrappers, mirrored dressers and vintage sconces -- always and irresistibly drawn to all things gold, and especially when intermingled with shades of lilac . . .

{photographer: ellen silverman}

. . . there is a beautifully serene, painterly quality to new york-based photographer ellen silverman's work -- a perfectly moody, atmospheric light that infuses each frame and inspires thoughts of sultry august afternoons moments after a rainstorm . . .

{p.s.} an interview & more work

{colour inspiration: petal pink + french grey}

. . . charming florals paired with elegant mirrored side tables and delicate lilac petals on bright windowsills, tea cups and cakestands and beribboned shoes; alongside marble and mother-of-pearl and bits of gold and whether in shades of champagne, taupe or tea rose, shall always and forever adore perfectly pretty pink . . .

{inspiration: carved wood + crystal}

. . . an undying adoration for the wonderfully ornate -- crown moulding and carved wood, panelled walls and glittering chandeliers and, most certainly and always, all enveloped in soft and hazy spills of light . . .

{happy weekend!}

. . . weekend again, and still-lingering thoughts of the past week, of dinners among chandeliers and marble and time spent with close friends and family . . . wishing you a weekend filled with laughter and all of things that you love most . . .

have a beautiful, beautiful weekend, everyone!
