{storage inspiration: a lovely drawer organiser}

. . . at the moment, it's travel cases & carry-ons, and vintage hand-beaded make-up cases, but upon arriving home in a few days, have resolved to re-organise the shelves and vanities, with their perfume bottles scattered prettily about, and the situation is, perhaps, even more dire for the lipsticks & glosses, which are in every handbag, on every surface, and at once, lost; the solution, perhaps: this clever drawer organiser, which not only looks lovely, but keeps everything in its place . . .

{décor inspiration: an artful arrangement}

. . . there is something about this room that brings one back, over and over again -- perhaps it is the warm floods of light, or the bright flowers and abstract art, or artful arrangement of lovely things -- or perhaps -- like summer white & leopard print, it has the feeling of transition, from warm summer days to crisp autumn nights . . .

{leopard print}

. . . hello! feels like forever since we last spoke -- yesterday was one of those days with meetings & appointments, and afterward, a million errands, drycleaners and bank, checking flights and making plans, but also one that was positivity filled with beautiful surprises -- cake and cookies and the kindness of strangers, and moments of pure brightness perfect for january skies . . .

{p.s.} aren't the stairs fantastic? reminds me of this floor & these shoes

{holiday inspiration: silver & gold}

. . . while may not have had a chance to get together holiday decorations this past weekend {perhaps & hopefully this week}, have been dreaming up elegant colour palettes for the season, and while the last may have been inspired by tiffany's blue, this year, quite smitten with the idea of simple and classic silver and gold, perhaps hints of pearl and opalescence, gilded garlands and glittering sequins, and perhaps, just the faintest glimmer of palest lilac . . .

{p.s.} also lovely: one & two; & how was your weekend? dying to know what holiday colour palettes you've been dreaming up?

{also:} a few things you may have missed:
* weekend: a few lovely links
* at the shops: andrea bonelli, san francisco
* for the holidays: advertising

{two lovely things: tufted & pearls}

. . . instantly fell for this stylishly elegant pearl-encrusted ornament by anthropologie, as perfect hanging in a doorway as on the tree, and absolutely smitten with this luxurious winter white and tufted banquette, positively made for sitting prettily in a gold sequined cocktail dress with a glass of champagne at a holiday soirée . . .



{p.s.} recent two lovely things:
* moments of repose
* monograms & pink roses
* tartan & suede
* mirrors & chandeliers

{a new week & the last month of the year . . . }

. . . summer feels like a beautiful dream and the last of the autumn leaves have fluttered away, and now, it's waking up to mornings of romantically swirling snowflakes, wreaths of holly and towers of meringue, ruffled bed canopies and gold satin slipcovers, gingerbread with icing and the warmth of crackling fires, fairy lights and candlelight and the most beautifully decorated trees, and most of all, a feeling of magic in the air . . .
