{monday, monday . . .}

. . . hello! a bright & crisp september morning of a new week, and if summer has flown by quickly, this month has taken on an astonishing pace and perhaps already a little too chilly for open-toed sandals and on the weekend, tall leather boots for the very first time . . . but despite changing temperatures, very much looking forward to mornings in cozy knits, and especially marigold-coloured knitted capelets . . .

hope your week is off to a perfect start,
xo

* colour inspiration: gold lamé & black velvet

{have a wildly romantic weekend + links}

. . . every evening, fading beautifully into dreams, always overflowing with excitement for the surprises and enchantments that a new day will bring, for the very next morning and the early light, freshly brewing coffee and time for reflection and plans -- but weekends -- on weekends all of these things and even more so -- the mornings are a little longer, evenings a little later, and it's on weekends that romance is everywhere and daydreams fill every waking moment . . .

wherever you may be in the world and whatever plans you may have, wishing you a wildly romantic weekend & hope it's beautiful where you are,
xo
