{stylist: lotta agaton, stockholm, sweden}

. . . nearly always more drawn to crown molding and paneled and gilded walls, pools of silk and tufted velvet, floral wallpaper and warm herringbone floors than stark modernity, that is, unless the rooms have been touched by the work of swedish stylish lotta agaton, whose trailing vines in metallic pots and elegant bouquets of white roses add a luxe charm and an unmistakable air of warmth and romance . . .

{runway inspiration: rachel zoe rtw spring 2012}

. . . and while we're on the topic of easing into the colder months, should like, very much, to wear white a little longer, at least until the leaves have fallen, and especially if it would mean arriving at the office in a stunning and rather elegant pantsuit, and spending the evening out in a ruffle-sleeved and billowy gown flecked in gold . . .

{places: in the kitchen}

. . . must confess, these days, would most likely find me anywhere {most likely in the office} other than the kitchen, unless it is to pour the champagne, or to linger about the hors d'œuvre, and of course, when there are cream-filled cakes and heart-shaped shortbread cookies sprinkled with confectioners' sugar . . .

{p.s.} a recent places feature, where one might also find me: here

{interior stylist: irina graewe}

. . . very much taken with the dreamy diffused light, delicate gold patterned china and scalloped spoons and dishware in interior stylist irina graewe's still life series, tea for two, not to mention the perfect intermingling of soft pink, smokey lavender and dusky lilac . . .





{p.s.} interestingly, graewe originally trained as a tailor at jil sander in hamburg and studied at the london college of fashion, before launching a career as a freelance interior stylist

{stylist: glen proebstel, melbourne}

. . . at turns bright and sun-lit, and at others, dark and blustery, as the days fade to winter, particularly drawn to the moody and atmospheric work of australian stylist glen proebstel, enveloped in the beautiful play of golden light and dusky shadow, a perfect reflection of these, the last autumn days . . .

{fashion stylist: fer decartaya}

. . . crazy for the perfect styling, by london-based fashion stylist fer decartaya, in these hopelessly lovely shots by photographer xavi gordo -- high-waisted and romantic lace shorts paired with structured handbags, stylishly messy side-braids and thick-rimmed glasses, delicate seafoam silk chiffon blouses cinched with ultra-thin teal-coloured belts, and the beautiful layering of tartan and ruffles, . . .
