{brand new at this is glamorous}

. . . and in between the unpacked suitcases and last-minute trips, overflowing inboxes and busy days at the office, the starry autumn nights in silvery shoes and champagne, there was time to dream up brand new and wonderful things . . . one of which, is below . . .

{storage inspiration: silver trays & julep cups}

. . . whether gold leaf or silver, seem to be on the topic of trays quite a bit recently, for storage and for display, whether it is used for a few favourite scents [above], or an array of beautiful compacts [below], everything always seems a little more refined when displayed on an elegant tray . . .

. . . and currently, make-up brushes, touche éclat, q-tips, and tortoise-shell combs reside in finished diptyque glass candle holders, but perhaps, julep cups in silver and gold may be a lovely change . . .

{décor inspiration: an artful arrangement}

. . . there is something about this room that brings one back, over and over again -- perhaps it is the warm floods of light, or the bright flowers and abstract art, or artful arrangement of lovely things -- or perhaps -- like summer white & leopard print, it has the feeling of transition, from warm summer days to crisp autumn nights . . .

{at the shops: always glamorous gold}

. . . overcast autumn days call for a little extra sparkle, and a delicately lovely bangle, in rose gold vermeil and stunning gold leaf tray may be just the thing to brighten cloudy days . . .
