GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAFY

May you have warm words
on a cold evening,
A full moon on a dark night,
And the road downhill
all the way to your door.

. . . a little wish for this stunningly beautiful, warm and sunny day, and whether you're traipsing about in quaint and charming pubs or have plans for a quiet and cozy night, wishing you a happy st. patrick's day, and hope you're having a lovely week so far xo

. . . stately wrought-iron gates and antique mirrors, intricate crown moulding and onyx walls, chevron floors and delicate lace gowns, and most of all, satin sashes and dreams in black and white . . .

This photo shoot by Mario Sorrenti is like a top model reunion! Some of our favorite models showcase the lingerie-inspired looks of this season for W Magazine. With a sultry nod to the Thirties and Forties, we see lots of leg and exposed bras. The hosiery is a wonderful component of this shoot, and we love the creative layering we're seeing. Really, what can we say other than sit back and enjoy these beautiful images.
All of these lingerie-inspired editorials are making our job as lingerie bloggers very easy!

. . . nearly mid-december and time really does fly while having fun, and amidst festive toasts and pretty party dresses, looking forward to slowing things down a little, even if only for a few moments . . .

have a beautiful, beautiful weekend, everyone!

Despite being much more likely to paint a room a soft and pretty shade, feel inexplicably drawn to wonderfully bright and saturated shades of blue, and would love to visit just one home as daring and adventurous . . .

Whether it’s shades of lilac, lavender, plum, puce, thistle, orchid, aubergine, wine, magenta, violet, mauve, indigo or amethyst, purple is everywhere, from shimmery blouses, to loveseats, be-ribboned sandals, and accent walls. It is associated with royalty, regality, and nobility, believed to be Cleopatra’s favourite colour and is included in The Washington Post’s Fall Forecast.

While the luxurious and royally vibrant shades may hang in my closet, have only ever been adventurous enough to consider the soft, romantic, and delicate hues of lilac and lavender for décor . . .
