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

~P.D. James

......................................................................................................

. . . this morning, the sun shone brightly, an utterly perfect start to the weekend, and a perfect way to end the month and we're ready for whatever november brings, so long as there are cosy heather grey sweaters and burnt crimson, logs by the fire and gilded frames, a sprinkle of chocolate on our morning coffee -- and so -- from this moment on, let the leaves fall where they may . . .

inspiration-board



. . . while guests from paris are currently on an adventurous little road trip for the next few days, a little time to get caught up on a few things, including all the beautiful things have not had a moment to share, until now, with all the traipsing around and waterfalls . . .



{p.s.} and if you are wondering, have fallen hopeless behind on emails once again, but hope to answer as many as possible within the next few days x

. . . whether a perfect mix of white mattes and black frames intermingled with ever-elegant gold for a stunning display, or a glittering pavé bow ensconced between whispers of champagne-coloured silk, the artful arrangement of beautiful things never fail to inspire . . .

. . . so many lovely things to tell you today, but as they say, the best laid plans . . . home again after being away for the past few days and couldn't possibly describe the feeling of first stepping into the familiar entryway more beautifully than these nostalgia-laden photographs by max-kim bee -- a feeling of being perfectly enveloped in a softly ethereal and moody light filled with daydreams and the fluttering leaves of possibilities . . .

{p.s.} have fallen impossibly behind on e-mails & comments once again -- apologies & hopefully within the next few days xo

{storage inspiration: pretty jewelry display}



. . . isn't this the most loveliest way to display pretty gold necklaces and delicate silver earrings?

. . . have bits & pieces laying about on nearly every surface around the house -- a pair of glamorous & very sparkly earrings for cocktail parties on the bureau, a strand of pearls here and a pair of diamond studs there -- and would be so wonderful to keep things a little more organized, {especially on those mad-dash mornings}, while also turning favourite pieces from those we love into perfectly beautiful works of art . . .

{beautiful details: hervé pierre, new york}



. . . always adore the details best -- a perfume collection or the way it is displayed, luxurious bouquets artfully arranged, the books in cases and the photographs and artwork in frames -- these and other personal and creative flourishes tell the most about a place, and few have more glamour than hervé pierre, whose new york apartment is positively overflowing with beautiful details, such as a curtain tieback made from a balmain glove {top}, and a wonderfully intricate and incredibly handmade frame created of paper and cardboard that took two years to complete . . .
