. . . absolutely adore the idea of painting vintage pin flower frogs a shimmery & always elegant gold and using them as placeholders, or for displaying favourite photographs, or even for beautiful holiday cards along the fireplace mantle . . .

{a beautiful idea: gold placeholders}

{wedding inspiration: little white dresses}
. . . happened across this editorial by photographer olivia graham for instyle weddings, last week, and as always, fell in love with all the ruffles and lace and frilly flounces of all the utterly stylish & perfectly flirty little white dresses, but especially the first, which is unspeakably charming and positively made for late-afternoon ferry rides and blowing kisses and am quite certain is the same as the one zooey deschanel wore here . . .

{hello + brand new things}
. . . hello! has been a while since there was site news and today there are many exciting things . . . under the intoxicating glow of dimly lit chandeliers and candlelight over a late dinner one evening, p. came up with the brilliant idea of creating a beautiful way to browse the {this is glamorous} archives, and while things are only at the beginning, here are the new pages so far . . .
one: features & favourites
browse favourite posts, as well as categories, and soon, weekly features such as two lovely things, at the shops & colour inspiration . . .
{click here} for a peek
two: photography | fashion | travel
browse by category, broken down into photography {in both design & fashion}, fashion editorials & lookbooks, and travel . . .
{click here} for peek; this page is still in progress
. . . still more to come, but for now, it's too many cups of coffee and dashing out the door, a perfectly messy topknot, heels and trench . . .
{this week is going by quickly!} hope it's beautiful where you are,
xo
