. . . the sonia rykiel fall collection's perfect mix of tweed and satin, wraps and stoles, checks and tartan, along with elegantly lovely side chignons and red lipstick makes one long for the blustery green hills of the highlands and the deep, dark waters of inverness -- perhaps it's time for another beautiful trip to scotland . . .

"scarves have expressed the constant evolutions in style, representing every major decorative arts movement over the past century and into the present one"
. . . as books are always on the very verge of overtaking the place, there is nothing to do but to give in, and certainly one more couldn't hurt, could it? . . . and especially if it is the recently published, scarves, by nicky albrechtsen and fola solanke, positively filled with hundreds of beautiful designs and patterns, from balenciaga, to christian lacroix and yves saint laurent . . .
{p.s.} at home, current favourites are both french: one vintage & the other, hermès......................................................................................................

{summer inspiration: always the beach}
"At the beach, life is different. Time doesn't move hour to hour but mood to moment. We live by the currents, plan by the tides and follow the sun."

. . . there is a surf spray for your hair that promises "that salty, sexy, sun-dried, wind-styled feel" that comes from being in the ocean -- and while it does leave one's hair tousled and sexily wind-blown as promised, nothing can compare to the feeling of toes in the sand and saltwater kisses and that perfect feeling of all the time in the world . . .
