GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAFY

. . . in all the busy-ness of the past few weeks and ever-enchanting pre-holiday excitement, had barely realized a new month had quietly arrived and if truth be told, must confess am often the tiniest bit more fond of september and october and all the blustery autumn promises they bring -- the golden morning light and magic of turning leaves, days in light trenches and evenings that still linger -- november, however, is often imagined with thoughts of overcast skies and chilly rains, and once the last of the leaves has fallen, cloudy days that end too soon . . . and yet, november has its own promises: nights wrapped in mohair and wool tartan blankets, pretty cashmere gloves with delicate crystal buttons, warm, crackling fires and the intoxicating romance of candlelight on evenings in, and most of all, the beautiful anticipation of the coming holiday season . . .

{p.s.} also new today: red wine & ripe cranberry

. . . whether tiered & romantically lacy cupcake stands or a warm & welcoming pile of mohair blankets, there is nothing quite like the quiet luxury of beautiful textures to warm up an early autumn morning . . .

{p.s.} recent two lovely things:
* black & white
* mirror, mirror
* bits of green

. . . hello! . . . monday, monday and sincerest apologies for the long absence, both here and on twitter -- delightfully surprised by unexpected guests from out of town on friday, and after the afternoons around and about and the late dinner reservations, dancing in heels and conversations long into the night, quaint british pubs and brunches of eggs benedict and bellinis, spent an unintentional and very rare few days nearly completely offline . . . and lovely to be back again to what has been missed while away and while still much to get caught up on, also many wonderful things to share this week . . .

hope you are well & wishing you a perfect start to the week,
xo

{p.s.} more feathers

. . . soft summer skies and the nostalgia of worn floorboards, quiet glimmers of crystals on a chandelier, a sequined wrap or a mirror -- on this early may afternoon, daydreams are filled with the warm, seaside shades of driftwood . . .

. . . the stems of lilies and fluttery dresses, new leaves and the glass of champagne bottles -- whether sage, seafoam, lakeshore or chartreuse -- mornings have been filled with the celebration of spring green . . .

. . . good morning! monday, monday and hope you've had beautiful a weekend -- it's a three cups of freshly ground coffee and hopelessly elegant antique french bed kind of morning, upholstered, of course, in perfectly charming pink & white polka dots . . .

{p.s.}
* more dots here
* a lovely way to begin the week {thank you!}

{two lovely things}: whether an extraordinarily elegant 1940s dressing table from the south of france or a exquisitely ornate 1920s mirrored table with a charming pink glass lamp and spring roses, the dazzling glimmer of mirrored things always infuses perfect glamour into every room . . .

{p.s.} a few things on this bright thursday morning:
* fun new things at the side project
* bicycling in heels
