{colour inspiration: autumn leaves}

. . . would never dream of being over summer until it has undeniably passed, but early this late-august morning, there was a nearly brisk and intoxicating freshness in the air, whirling and tousling strands of hair sexily about, and for just a moment, was falling for fall . . .

{colour inspiration: shades of citron}

. . . whether on floral and lacy bed linens, a favourite novel in hand, or in the garden and sunlit breezes, a bottle of vintage, antique crystal goblets and good company, happily soaking up every last beautiful moment of these, the long and breathless days of summer . . .
