GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAFY

Lovely new things for Fall at Loeffler Randall and it's all cream twill and champagne washed satin . . . and to make things even more irresistible, a brand new site for online shopping . . .

{p.s.} more Fall inspiration

Alongside wonderful workstations, always find such inspiration in the artful displays of vanities, dresserscapes, and bedside tables -- there's such a personal element in the pretty framed photographs, long strands of necklaces, collection of perfume bottles, vintage leather boxes and sterling jewel catch-alls that reveal so much about a person . . .

And while we're on the subject of artful arrangements, Imke Klee has the loveliest photographed collections of beautifully arranged things . . .

Happy for the return of patterns this season, and like the idea of using one prettily foiled and softly-hued panel to brighten up a warmly neutral background . . .

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend! We left the city behind for a few days for a little adventurous fun and a change of scenery . . .

Continually impressed with Loeffler Randall, who are inspiring me to reconsider my entire summer wardrobe . . . {flutter dress, olivia boot}

I used to have a rather large cork inspiration board above my desk, filled with the things I liked to gaze at while working and daydreaming. And while it has since been replaced with a picture wall, I've always missed the versitility of the cork . . .

Perhaps I could find a little cork lamp {above}, similar to Jessie Randall's, who adds a personal touch with photobooth strips and a brooch from her father's antiques shop.

Seamless-looking cork floor is as durable as hardwood also cushions tired feet and works well in high-traffic areas.

This beautiful, tile-like floor is cleverly made from wine bottle stoppers.

Make a huge impact with wonderful graphic patterns of peel-and-press cork tiles.

Have always loved the photography and art direction at Loeffler Randall, which incidentally, I rediscovered while working on the previous post.
