{the first exciting news of the new year}

. . . hello again! . . . had mentioned much, much earlier there would be fun news today . . . and so, a little fashionably late, {and those on twitter may have already heard}, but in case you haven't . . . as you know, have loved lonny magazine since the premiere issue over two years ago, but absolutely adore the current issue most of all, for it contains the most beautiful feature . . .






{a few of my favourite things}

thanks ever so much to ellie and everyone at lonny -- and to you, of course -- for always making everything so much more fun xo

{hello & exciting news}

. . . hello! . . . had meant to tell you earlier, {and some of you on twitter may have already heard}, but it's the holidays, and there is a beautiful bedlam, and so: at this moment, impossibly excited to announce the news that club monaco has launched an ultra-stylish new blog, much like the inspiration board here, and it is utterly filled with wonderful things, and best of all . . . has invited {this is glamorous} to be a contributor, alongside a perfect mix of designers, stylists, and even a violinist, the always fun refinery29, as well as many other wonderfully creative and inspiring people -- such a delight to be included!

. . . {click here} if you like, for photographs of the things am currently inspired by, from sequined shoes to oysters in paris, staircases in edinburgh and whatever else catches my breath . . .
