{fashion inspiration: basket handbags}

. . . now that it is nearly summer, have become quite enamoured with the thought of carrying a vintage basket handbag around town, in the style of jane birken -- and much like this one, found in a tiny shop in saint-tropez -- would imagine it would make every day feel like a picnic, or a trip to the markets . . .

{the most wonderful time}

hello! + happy monday . . . not certain where november has gone, but tomorrow is december and things are already beginning to feel festive around here -- a new week, a new month and so many wonderful things to look forward to, but soon and most of all, amidst the swirling snow and prettily wrapped packages, time to spend with those we love most . . .

wishing you a beautiful start to the week,
xo
