{colour inspiration: autumn greens & golds}

. . . monday comes in shades of green & gold -- westminster and huntington, chardonnay and woodside moss -- and even while there are overcast skies, and soon, the last of the fallen leaves, there is the warmth of these elegant and regal hues, and along with them, a certain anticipation of things to come, or perhaps the anticipation could be attributed to the start of a new week and so many beautiful things to look forward to in the days and weeks ahead . . .

{décor inspiration: leopard print & winter white}

. . . and while on the topic of leopard print & bright winter whites, positively enchanted with the romantic and dusky light flooding through this home in buenos aires, and, of course, the leopard print against white walls and floor-grazing draperies, intoxicatingly intermingled with warm wood, velvet and florals . . .

{have an enchanting autumn weekend}

. . . saturday morning was a luxuriously late start, a sunny morning drive and a favourite café utterly filled with charm and round marble tables and crimson umbrellas, walkways strewn with brightly fallen leaves and a breathtaking view overlooking the still-green parks and cityscape beyond, while inside, glittering antique chandeliers, flaky butter tarts and frothy lattes; and best of all, there's still time for the sound of leaves beneath tall leather boots and for perfect kisses under pale october skies . . .

hope you're in the midst of a stunningly lovely weekend & that it's beautiful where you are,

Fall Fashion, No. 3 (Leopard Loafers)

(Images via 1, 2)

Leopard print.

In my world, it's classified as a 'neutral.' I wear leopard flats, bags, and other accessories anytime with just about anything. So you can imagine my excitement when the leopard loafer craze broke loose. I'm fairly certain that these shoes are just as versatile as your favorite ballet or pointy toe flats (even though at first glance it may not seem that way). This is one spotted bandwagon that I just can't resist jumping on!

What about you, loves?

{décor inspiration: palest pink + leopard print}

{all in a day's work & a quick hello}

. . . a very quick hello on one of those days where everything seems to be getting away -- there are deadlines and amazingly long to-do lists, arrangements and appointments, and the emails have been piling up for days, and so, it's coffee and back to work . . .

hope your week is off to a perfect start,

{two lovely things: lace & leopard print}

. . . while there is undoubtedly a noticeable crispness in the late-september air, the sun still shines brightly and the afternoons are still warm; at home, while quite adore cosy nights in front of the fire, not nearly ready to stow away white bed linens, and so, perhaps best to take things slowly, mixing late-summer and early-autumn in patterns and textures like lace and leopard print . . .

......................................................................................................

recent two lovely things
* denim & tulle
* ruggedly refined
* on display
* green & white
* open shelves & elegant black

{décor inspiration: a work of art}

. . . scalloped hand-towels and gilded sconces, patterned in leopard print and shades of midnight, and best of all, an exquisite chinoiserie fresco for perfect elegance . . .

{p.s.} the powder room was designed by thomas beeton & the chinoiserie fresco is the work of dana westring

{décor inspiration: patterns & textures}

. . . there is something so wonderfully absorbing about this room -- the luxuriously rich colours and mix of patterns & textures -- perhaps it is the royal blue silk settee and elegant leopard print walls, the dazzling chandelier and bits of gold, the dusky streams of light and beautifully set table for two, or perhaps is is a combination of all these things . . .

{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
