. . . at this time of year, it feels as if every day should be spent lounging about in pools of sunlight, flipping through old novels with all the time in the world, and yet, in actuality, have been trying to find even a few moments here and there to finish reading the same two books for what could possibly be months now, and yet, with all the amazing things to come of all this, would not want it any other way . . .

{hello & thoughts on a busy tuesday}
{afternoon in the park + the winner . . .}
. . . wednesday already and how this week {and the summer!} are slipping by . . . and finally, amazingly excited to announce the winner of last week's glamorous give-away: after two unfortunate draws of entries with missing contact information, third time's a charm, as they say, and warmest congratulations to amy, winner of the beautifully designed and stylishly iconic eames chair!
*** congratulations, amy! ***
thanks to everyone who entered and hope you're having a perfectly wonderful week so far,
xo

{ewan mcgregor & natalia vodianova, vogue}
. . . always quite adored ewan mcgregor, and natalia has been a favourite for as long as can remember -- and together in vogue, entangled in the stylings of a torrid 1950s domestic drama complete with silk taffeta, ruffled bodices, elegant luggage and perfectly upswept hair -- is much too fun and proves a perfect distraction from overflowing e-mail & voicemail on this late june afternoon . . .
