"scarves have expressed the constant evolutions in style, representing every major decorative arts movement over the past century and into the present one"
. . . as books are always on the very verge of overtaking the place, there is nothing to do but to give in, and certainly one more couldn't hurt, could it? . . . and especially if it is the recently published, scarves, by nicky albrechtsen and fola solanke, positively filled with hundreds of beautiful designs and patterns, from balenciaga, to christian lacroix and yves saint laurent . . .
{p.s.} at home, current favourites are both french: one vintage & the other, hermès

If it were possible to live inside a book, would happily pack my things and move into New Paris Interiors . . .
{click here for a fun flip-through}{also:}
> Scout-Holiday's {Inside Paris} for more images
> the chevron flooring in the top image reminds me of Things That Inspires' beautiful post on chevron & herringbone patterned floors
> also quite certain the third interior was used for this roche-bobois advert . . .
