{valentine's inspiration | pure romance : [a little] naughty & nice}

. . . and how it is thursday already is pure madness, but happily, that means valentine's day is next week, and so, chocolate truffles and champagne, baies and gardénia and satin, silk, and chiffon, in the spirit of pure romance . . .

{p.s.} another look below x

{at the shops: heirloom lingerie by claire pettibone}

. . . antique tulle and ivory french lace embroidered with cream silk ribbon flowers and pearls -- claire pettibone's limited edition heirloom lingerie collection has thoughts already drifting to the sheer romance of cosy winter nights . . .

{inspiration: pretty totes & whisps of chiffon}

. . . a very favourite blogger collaboration must be alix from the cherry blossom's girl's with french lingerie company étam -- the pieces are so perfectly pretty and draped in sheer romance, it's nearly impossible not to be swept up in the delicate ruffles, elegant lace, and powdery whisps of chiffon . . .

{white lace + sunny mornings}

. . . a love affair with lace for as long as can remember, and this pretty underthing is just the thing for lounging about on an early march morning, just before coffee and croissants and a brand new day . . .

{a brand new month}

. . . an entire thirty-three days of the new year has already come and gone, and so far, things are off to a beautiful start -- have somehow, someway, managed to keep all resolutions, and for some long-forgotten {sentimental, perhaps, romantic, for certain} reason, february has always been one of my very favourite months . . .

happy brand new month! hope it is filled with endless love & possibilities,
xo
