Orange Monday....

Orange Dior.....LOVE this bag!

Carrie Underwood....

I do wear a lot of black and I find that accent colours such as burnt orange really add something to an outfit....I have a gorgeous large leather purse that I bought in Italy a couple of years ago that I love to use and this week-end I bought a beautiful pair of soft orange leather gloves....

Happy Monday!

{a perfect combination: grey + coral}

. . . still catching up and in the midst of things -- grey and orange -- a perfect autumn combination of grey skies and vibrantly turning leaves . . .

{autumn comes in shades of hermès}

. . . every year at this time, begin to fall for extravagantly vibrant hues -- russet and goldenrod and that perfectly elusive shade of french orange that sometimes flutters on a fallen and windswept leaf, caught up in the breezes of a cool september morning . . .

{two lovely things: office inspiration}

. . . love in a gilded frame + vintage orange

{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 . . .

{at this moment: hermès orange}

May never consider painting the walls a bright orange, but have lately been inexplicably drawn to its sheer vibrancy, at home and in fashion -- perhaps it's the coming change in seasons or the creativity the colour is thought to bring . . . or it may just be the promise of the beautiful things that arrive in those lovely orange boxes . . .

Hermès orange and a framed 1950s fashion photograph are the perfect compliment to a Louis XVI gilt console

{a charming mix of things - two}

. . . had such fun composing the last mix that was utterly inspired to create another and perhaps shall even be a regular occurence here on {this is glamorous} . . . and so, a lovely new collection of the things that are drifting prettily through thoughts on this perfect thursday afternoon . . .
