GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAFY

. . . last night, it was cozy by candlelight, but {a snow-covered eiffel tower aside}, there are still many days left of winter, and already, thoughts are drifting to sand between toes, sunlit daydreams and saltwater kisses . . .

{p.s.} more ways to weather winter: bright bouquets & floral jumpers

{two lovely things:} around the dining table or beneath a gallery wall, there is just something about the perfectly graceful lines of eames chairs -- still -- that adds a beautiful elegance to any room and no matter how many times you may come across them, they always remain classic and utterly timeless . . .

{p.s.} and while you may have seen these images before, they are here as a glimpse of very, very exciting things to come xo

Recently came across more images {above + below} of fashion designer Jacqueline Appel's lovely, lovely home . . .

The custom Pucci scarf pillow shams, Murano chandelier, lacquered ceiling, and polished floor make her living room one of the rooms I always come back to . . .
