{travel inspiration: italy}

. . . a very favourite thing is to look back at old photographs of past trips -- so many memories and beautiful moments captured forever, and for the same reason, also love glimpses of others' vacation photographs -- and so, ecstatic to happen upon these shots of rome and cinque terre and other stunning places in italy, and was immediately lost in an enchanting world of dusky cathedrals, charming coastlines, prosciutto-wrapped figs and sandy beaches . . .

{p.s.} also lovely: venice

{in the bedroom: summer whites}

. . . the sultry days of summer have arrived and it has been hot, hot, hot and positively living in pretty summer dresses and upswept hair, and in the evenings, the duvet with its lovely lacy trim becoming far too heavy and we're dreaming, dreaming, of draping everything in romantic mosquito netting and saturating the bermuda teal walls in enchanting shades of crisp summer white . . .

{p.s.} don't you just adore the crochet bedcover?
