{two lovely things: mirror, mirror}

{two lovely things:}

one.
there is a mirrored tray on the marble vanity in the bathroom that holds favourite perfumes and an hermès box of hairpins, and every morning, adore the beautifully organized and perfectly pretty way everything looks, but had not thought to include a personal photograph -- such an inspiring idea!

two.
next to aerin lauder's glamorous white & gold office, this one has been a long-time favourite for its wonderfully elegant mirrored desk, inviting stacks of books and magazines, and always seem to work better when surrounded by shoes . . .

{colour inspiration: moody & atmospheric}

. . . have always dreamed of spring in shades of sunny whites and whispered greens, but recently the skies have been dark at turns and golden at others and during the cloudy moments, imagine spring as dusk and deep violet -- moody and atmospheric -- the colour of thundershowers . . .

{happy monday + inspiration boards}

. . . hello! a very late start this morning and after the rain and petal-laden breezes, away, away for a bit this weekend, not returning until late sunday night and now, a whirlwind all around and quite hopelessly drawn to the calm and order of these inspiration boards . . .

happy monday & hope your week is off to a wonderful start,
xo

{p.s.} aren't these lovely?
