{style inspiration: his & hers}

. . . and after unexpectedly falling for a decidedly masculine black leather sofa a few weeks ago, {juxtaposed, to be certain, against crisp whites and a perfectly ornate mirror}, have been thinking about notions of masculinity and femininity recently, how they interrelate, and most of all, how they can intermingle to create something altogether new and utterly beautiful . . .



















{p.s.} also, first there were the ipad cases, then the charmingly chic luggage tags, and now, also from from etsy, this {fifth from top} impossibly lovely hand-stitched doctor's bag/carry on . . .

{style inspiration: blush, nude & champagne}

. . . having flirted shamelessly with irresistibly fun and tempestuous bolts of colour recently, this past weekend, in open-toed sandals {for the first time this spring} and toes newly enveloped in chanel's rose satin, have fallen always and again in love with shades of nude and blush and champagne, the pale and pretty hues insanely perfect for mid-spring afternoons . . .

. . . a flurry of things this past few weeks and can hardly believe that it is nearly & already only one week left until christmas, and in all this dashing about . . . by day, it's been white lacy dresses strewn with a million floating snowflakes, strands of elegant pearls and satin platform pumps, pink champagne truffles and the softest suede foldover clutches . . . and by night, it's all black satin and sequins and the intoxicating scent of deep florals and lotus wood . . .
