GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAFY

. . . ordinarily, at the beginning of a new work week, it's tailored elegance in the form of pencil skirts and pantsuits, but truth be told, things have not felt ordinary for weeks now, since the holidays began, and have been exchanging ponytails for chignons and wearing sequins in the morning, even before the first cup of coffee, proving it really is the most wonderful time of year . . .

hello again! perhaps a little astonishing how quickly the time has flown, as it would seem as if the days are fading beautifully into one, and after a wonderfully busy and rather eventful week, spending a little time lost in love and the possibilities of the night sky, enveloped in floral linen mornings and, most of all, languidly late afternoons spent lounging about . . .

whatever your plans may be, hope you're having a beautiful weekend,

. . . afternoons are still wonderfully bright, but evenings are beginning to arrive earlier, and with them, a surprising briskness to unaccustomed summer skin, and already this past weekend, faux fur stoles and soft cashmere scarves and the longing for luxuriously warm textures, velvet and tweed and satin-trimmed coverlets -- and even warmer hues and tones, featherstone and champagne and deliriously lovely shades of dusky taupe . . .

Here we go again with an extraordinarily talented photographer, Camilla Akrans. Camilla is a versatile photographer that has an extensive portfolio with an emphasis on high-fashion. Pretty much if you read VOGUE, Elle, Bazaar, you know her work.
The photos that we included in today's post feature lingerie as shot through a sheet of gauzy silk. It creates a dramatic and mysterious effect that works beautifully when paired with the boudoir imagery.

The image below is also by Camilla - a very different look compared to what you see above, and simply gorgeous!

A beautifully busy week here at {this is glamorous}, and along with guest posting and a fun new little side project, there will be a fantastic give-away on Monday . . .
