{inspiration: white + gold office}

. . . making over the office space and have completely fallen for Aerin Lauder's ultra-glamorous and inspirational combination of mirrored desktop, lucite table lamp, and white and gold desk accessories . . .

{p.s.} is your desk tidy or cluttered + a little messy?

{inspiration: back to black}

. . . had all but abandoned black {in the home, but not the closet} long ago, believing it to be a little overwhelming and sombre for bright and sunny rooms -- and yet -- have recently become enchanted by its bold elegance and dramatic charm . . .

{runway: marchesa resort 2010}




. . . in all the summer excitement of the past few weeks, had missed the marchesa resort collection and immediately fell into a beautiful world of perfectly draped silks and satins, bare shoulders and intricate beading, and gowns made for wearing until dawn . . .

{p.s.} more of this collection at the side project
