. . . and while on the topic of perfume bottles & lip gloss scattered about on desks and vanities, absolutely adore the idea of wicker baskets to keep everything in its place, from shoes in the entryway to books beside the bed . . .

. . . a very favourite blogger collaboration must be alix from the cherry blossom's girl's with french lingerie company étam -- the pieces are so perfectly pretty and draped in sheer romance, it's nearly impossible not to be swept up in the delicate ruffles, elegant lace, and powdery whisps of chiffon . . .

. . . a few weeks ago, glamorous reader bonnie sent along a link to a few photographs she had taken of cherry blossoms in washington, and while gazing at all the beautiful blossoms, also discovered this utterly lovely salted caramel series, with its wonderfully hazy, dreamy, soft-flowing light . . .

{style inspiration: portfolio clutch}

simply-chic-hed
orange-clutch

. . . often prefer totes and structured handbags with shoulder straps to keep hands free for checking emails and picking up bright spring bouquets, but now that it is officially spring, can not help but be drawn to this undeniably elegant and impossibly chic leather portfolio clutch, with lovely details like an envelope flap and gold clasp, and especially in this stunning shade of orange . . .

{p.s.} also comes in black

. . . and while we're on the subject of storage inspiration, have completely fallen for the wonderfully simple idea of using a metal rail meant for the kitchen, for belts and midnight blue velvet clutches, debossed leather handbags, and even a pair of favourite shoes . . .
