"With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts."

~Eleanor Roosevelt

. . . hello! a new week and the unofficial end to all things summer, sun-kissed faces and bare shoulders, lunches on terraces and leisurely midnight swims . . . but with every end there is always a beginning, and always beautiful things to look forward to -- skinny jeans and tall leather boots, camel coats and nights by the fire . . .

hope your week is off to a perfect start,
xo

{p.s.} first evening of the season by the fire at the country house this past weekend -- so romantic!

{also:} how wonderful: {sexy & updated} beehives are back {via}

{and:} if you've only just arrived, new & wonderful things:
* colour inspiration: shades of hèrmes
* two lovely things: black & white
* happy september: live it up in a delicate dress
*
at the shops: satomi kawakita, new york
* a fond farewell to summer

{light & shadow}




. . . quite the adore the beautifully atmospheric, nearly hazy tone of this summer editorial, the perfect play of light and shadow, and the feeling that something unbelievably romantic could happen at any moment . . .

{p.s.} lovely things on the side project:
* ruffles & blossoms
* tailored elegance
