{the afternoon away}
Many beautiful memories of swinging the afternoon away in pretty dresses, feeling perfectly carefree, hair flying behind me . . . . And then discovered this incredible loft swing, with its promise of indoor carefree happiness, any time of day, in any weather and completely fell in love with the idea . . .

Josette And The Elephant
Howdy friends. Here's a little elephant drawing i did awhile back.
It's funny, the dress that "Queen Josette" is wearing is one i designed 3 years ago,
but for some reason, i couldn't stop drawing it in every one of my paintings,
so there is a short stint where all my drawings had that dress in it.
oh yea for Got to tell you N*style magazine in Portugal did a feature on me this issue.
i'll definitely post scans from it when i get a copy. :)

From time to time I post these pin-ups. It's a 'just for fun' category I've named bicycle chic inspiration -- pin-ups. You'll find a smattering of little finds there.

{patterns + prada}
Inspired by the wonderfully cheerful mix of colours and patterns in this workspace, especially when paired with an antique telephone, industrial desk, and {if you look closely}, a pair of Prada blossom-heeled pumps strewn beautifully and carelessly on the floor . . .

{shoes, shoes, shoes}
There are lovely shoes all over our place, displayed on shelves, bookcases, atop dressers . . . far too beautiful to be hidden away, and yet perhaps a little impractical to have them strewn about, so imagine my excitement in discovering these wonderful wall-mounted shelves . . .{images: Lund.}

{a little glitz}
Adding a little glitz at home can be as simple as a beautiful piece of art, mixed with comptemporary classics and antique finds . . .
Above, a luxurious panel of gold in the dining room, paired with bright accents and an all-white backdrop, the look is elegantly light and wonderfully sophisticated.
Shimmering gold tiles installed along the outside of a vintage claw-foot bathtub create an impossibly luxurious atmosphere . . .{see also:}

{the kindness of strangers}
Tuesday morning, while caught in the pouring rain waiting for the traffic signal to change, a stranger happened along and silently, gallantly sheltered me under his umbrella . . .{life is filled with beautiful moments}
