. . . perhaps one of the most exciting things about the arrival of spring, besides all the beautiful & wildly intoxicating sunlight, is the chance for bare toes once again, and pretty platform sandals with sky-high heels and in gold and glitter and perfect pastels . . .

. . . and while we're on the topic of easing into the colder months, should like, very much, to wear white a little longer, at least until the leaves have fallen, and especially if it would mean arriving at the office in a stunning and rather elegant pantsuit, and spending the evening out in a ruffle-sleeved and billowy gown flecked in gold . . .

{at the shops: summer trips}
. . . at this moment, writing to you from a beautiful hotel room in a beautiful city, moments before breakfast is set to arrive, unlike these unbearably chic hand-stitched luggage tags, which would have been perfect, but would not have arrived in time for wednesday morning's early flight; perhaps for the next, but for the moment, breakfast, and so, à bientôt . . .
hope you're having a lovely week so far,

{p.s.} and since we have been on the topic recently, this shop also makes stunning personalized, hand-stitched ipad cases

{a new week & bright days ahead}
. . . it's monday, monday and don't these pretty pleated tops and perfectly pink pantsuits make you want to dash out the door every day this week in vibrant shades of cerise and coral?
happy monday! hope your week is off to a perfect start,
xo

{style inspiration: perfect platforms}
. . . a new pair of white strappy summer wedges earlier last week, for traipsing about town and blossom-laden walks with the dog, the third pair of wedges already this spring, and summer has yet to begin, and yet, after happening across these utterly charming prada platforms {above}, perfectly paired with pressed trousers turned in an ultra-chic french cuff in the most enchanting shade of august sunrise, am becoming quite smitten with platforms and their teetering heights and already imagine them with romantically flirty & lacy summer dresses for quiet lunch dates on cobbled terraces surrounded by spring flower boxes of pussy willows and daffodils . . .

{shoes, shoes, shoes}
. . . has been a while since the last beautiful installment of {shoes, shoes, shoes}, and couldn't dream of a better pair to begin again with than these intricately lovely and summer-perfect sergio rossi cut out sandals, so delicate and lacy, can imagine them with a summer dress from the recent stella mccartney resort collection for a leisurely afternoon at the gallery . . .
