{hope you've had a beautiful weekend + a few lovely links}

. . . today began with one of those mornings where the mind whirls with a million projects & plans, and so much so, that sleep was impossible and coffee & throwing open the curtains was all that one could do; and the desk is a beautiful mess of daybooks and fountain pens and very long lists, and it's off for a bit to make sense of it all, leaving you with, as promised, a few lovely links . . .

. . . after the holidays, there is always a quiet lull, a little lapse in time, where the daydreams begin -- of the new year ahead, of fresh starts and unbroken promises, and the pastel daydreams of winter's quiet deference to the flimsy dresses and fluttery spring days that lay ahead . . .

{at the office : perfectly tailored}

. . . for this week, it's perfect mixes of soft & structured [a sleek blazer paired with billowy autumn whites, warm wools and tweeds with cool leather accents]; and classic & modern [delicate lace paired with a structured coat] . . . and whether with tousled waves or a classic ponytail, it's out the door with polish and perfect style . . .

{holiday how to : glittery eyes}

. . . among all the many beautiful things to look forward to this holiday season, as if the candlelight and soirées, the sequined evening gowns and glasses of rosé were not enough -- now, [and perhaps most exciting of all], insanely glamorous & glittery eyes that will light up those festive nights . . .


CONTINUE ---------------------------------->

{style inspiration: crisp summer whites}

. . . and for those not on summer vacation. lounging poolside or celebrating a long weekend -- but back at the office -- a little summer work wear inspiration for a brand new week . . .

{thoughts for the weekend + a few lovely links}

. . . one of those weeks that whirled by with a flourish, and in the midst of plans and appointments, there were little moments of inspiration -- thoughtful comments & lovely tweets and perhaps one of the most beautiful letters ever received {from a wonderful reader in australia}, and have always known that those who stop by here {& here} for a visit each day are some of the loveliest people ever, but this week , especially so, and it has been said that love makes the world go round, so let us send as much as we can to those who need it most . . .

à la prochaine & looking forward to seeing you again,
