. . . astonishingly, very nearly at the month of march, two months of the new year passed already, and already, windows have been open to the late-winter air that is now, nearly imperceptibly, tinged with the promise of blossoming magnolia trees and longer, sun-drenched days ahead, and so, for today, it's away with wintry things, soft flushed cheeks, and a dash of perfect pink across the lips . . .

{take me away № 15 | bora bora, tahiti}
Though we have certainly visited a number of beautiful wintry destinations, from elegant train tours and exquisite St.Petersburg, to romantic wintry gardens in England and enchanting ice hotels, often the promise of warm sunshine calls us away from home for an escape from it all . . .
. . . an escape away from snowy slopes, boots and layers upon layers, to endlessly blue waters and an indescribable golden sky, to Bora Bora, Tahiti . . .
Here, beautifully warm and languorous days await.

{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."
~ unknown

. . . 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 . . .
