GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAFY

. . . the colour grey has appeared here many times, and whether amidst monograms & ruffles and chignons & chandeliers, intermingled with sequins & sunlight, or perfectly paired with petal pink, it is classic and warm, and always elegant, and there is something quite enchanting about its dusky hues, as with clouds on a bright february afternoon . . .

"It was one of those perfect English autumnal days which occur more frequently in memory than in life."

"We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures."

. . . dashing out the door to meet a favourite cousin from out of town, but first, a quick hello, and as you may know, have been searching for inspiration for thursday's late lunch & meetings, and came across this lovely soft grey jersey wrap dress by marc for marc jacobs and completely fell for its perfect seventies style . . .

{p.s.} leaving you with two new things today:
* at the shops: ombré silver cocktail glasses
* classic summer style: past chloé, paris

hope you're having a wonderful week so far & à bientôt / see you soon,

. . . early monday evening and the skies have already fallen dark, and earlier, brilliant leaves of orange and crimson, floating in the autumn breezes and fluttering along sidewalks, everything cast in utterly romantic shades of overcast skies . . .

{p.s.} a few updates:
* features & favourites
* fashion & photography

. . . adore the idea of enveloping the walls of a small space in deep charcoal hues and positively filling every corner with perfectly ornate and beautifully embellished details -- chandeliers and velvet, walk-in closets and wine cellars, silk curtains and tufted headboards and wonderful french antiques -- to create a certain romance, an old-world charm with a luxurious sense of grandeur . . .

. . . hello! a quiet evening after a busy late-summer day, a little exhausted and beautifully so, after an amazingly productive start to the week and already it feels as if time is slipping away . . . and drowning, drowning in e-mails and a little overwhelmed -- if you have written and have not received a response, please take no offense, and click here . . .

hope you're having a perfectly wonderful week so far,
