{fashion inspiration: the pantsuit}

. . . while most often in skinny jeans and tall leather boots by day and dresses sprinkled with sequins by night, always secretly loved the formal days of dressing up in trouser suits or pantsuits for meetings & appointments, especially if they are influenced in part by the sophisticated seventies, or a modern interpretation of the sexiest pantsuit of all, yves saint laurent's le smoking . . .

{p.s.} more work wear & a three-piece

{at the office: the pantsuit}

. . . and after spending the summer in billowy dresses, should think it rather lovely to spend the autumn in pantsuits, wool and tweed, and perhaps even tartan, perfectly offset by a pretty blouse and sexily tousled hair and it's all in a day's work . . .

{at the office: ash desk accessories}

. . . and while on the topic of back to work, aren't these desk accessories lovely, lovely? they would look especially perfect on a mirrored desk and surrounded glittery & gilded accessories, and am also quite taken with the white pencils dipped in gold . . .

{p.s.} desk accessories in ash available from farrahsit, brooklyn, new york, [also available in walnut]

{at the office: inspirational workspaces}

. . . and it would seem that everything has been running a few hours behind since the week began, although suppose it's always the case when one has been away for a while, but happily, a side affect of having been away is returning with a new and beautiful energy, overflowing with inspiration, and with so many lovely things to share, that can hardly work quickly enough . . .

{p.s.} in other words, running very, very behind today and a new {favourite five}, still & soon! x

{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,

{at the office: a python laptop case}

. . . and after searching the internets for a glamorous ipad case, my macbook air still travels around in an old foley & corinna black soft glazed leather jet set tote -- perhaps, time to pick up something new and this python laptop case [in chocolate], may be just the thing, matched, of course, with a pair of snakeskin studded valentino's . . .

{at the office: gilded mirrors & zebra print}

. . . without fail, every year, at this time, there is an extra fondness for layers, whether soft cardigans and long cashmere scarves out the door, or at home and in the office, where gilded glass, deep silk and sophisticated zebra print intermingle as if in a swirl of autumn splendor . . .

{p.s.} églomisé reproduction mirrored desk, lucite & sycamore lamp

If you love fashion then it's certain that you're familiar with the site WhoWhatWear. Katherine Power and Hillary Kerr are the beauties behind the wildly popular fashion site and recently hosted The Coveteur on a fantastic office tour in Los Angeles. Anything and everything you need to know about what's "in" (and out) in the world of fashion, you can guarantee it's featured on WWW. After clicking through the Coveteur photos of the girls' gorgeous offices, the source of their inspiration is no longer a secret. A jar full of vibrant nail polishes, a stack of Hermes boxes, fresh pink peonies- combined make for an office space bursting with the loveliest details and stylish pieces.

{at the office: a beautiful mess}

. . . and it feels as if we have been sorting and organising for days, and yet, there are still so many things about, that out-of-town guests may just arrive to something resembling {although somewhat less tumultuous} sofia coppola's beautiful mess . . .

{lookbook: liu wen for j.crew}

. . . such fun to see liu wen in j.crew's latest lookbook, and in stripes, no less, as well as velvet city shorts, fitted blazers and wide-legged jeans, silk blouses and soft cardigans in the prettiest shade of pink . . .









{p.s.} also fun: jessica stam for j.crew

{at the office: meetings & a quick hello}

. . . dashing out the door to meet a favourite cousin from out of town, but first, a quick hello, and as you may know, have been searching for inspiration for thursday's late lunch & meetings, and came across this lovely soft grey jersey wrap dress by marc for marc jacobs and completely fell for its perfect seventies style . . .

{p.s.} leaving you with two new things today:
* at the shops: ombré silver cocktail glasses
* classic summer style: past chloé, paris

hope you're having a wonderful week so far & à bientôt / see you soon,

{at the office: akris pre-fall collection}

. . . leather and sequins and wool and cashmere, sleeveless shifts and pencil skirts and plaid pantsuits and belted coats -- the akris pre-fall collection's casual elegance is utterly perfect for the transition from hazy summer evenings to crisp autumn mornings . . .
