{storage inspiration: pretty jewelry display}
. . . isn't this the most loveliest way to display pretty gold necklaces and delicate silver earrings?
. . . have bits & pieces laying about on nearly every surface around the house -- a pair of glamorous & very sparkly earrings for cocktail parties on the bureau, a strand of pearls here and a pair of diamond studs there -- and would be so wonderful to keep things a little more organized, {especially on those mad-dash mornings}, while also turning favourite pieces from those we love into perfectly beautiful works of art . . .

{runway inspiration: preen, new york}
. . . could hardly tear myself away from the preen resort 2011 collection -- it is just so, so good - perhaps it's that designers justin thornton and thea bregazzi took inspiration from brigitte bardot, or they easily and perfectly combined prim and sexy, with buttoned-up dresses and sheer, shimmery tops, pretty pleats and bits of lace -- or perhaps it is the slight nod to the wild wild west that is just too impossibly cool . . .

{décor inspiration: balloon shades}
. . . whether always elegant silk or sumptuous velvet, billowing, pooled, or luxuriously layered, curtains & shades always add a layer of texture, depth and style to a space, and ever since rita konig's neo-english manhattan bedroom and hamish bowles' parisian grande hallway/drawing gallery {center}, have fallen for the elegant ruching of balloon shades, their romantic, old-world charm and the sense of grandeur they lend to any room . . .

GREAT BOSPHORUS OF ISTANBUL
İstanbul’u Dinliyorum
İstanbul’u dinliyorum, gözlerim kapalı;
Önce hafiften bir rüzgar esiyor;
Yavaş yavaş sallanıyor
Yapraklar ağaçlarda;
Uzaklarda, çok uzaklarda
Sucuların hiç durmayan çıngırakları;
İstanbul’u dinliyorum gözlerim kapalı.
İstanbul’u dinliyorum gözlerim kapalı;
Kuşlar geçiyor derken
Yükseklerden, sürü sürü, çığlık çığlık;
Ağlar çekiliyor dalyanlarda; Bir kadının suya değiyor ayakları;
İstanbul’u dinliyorum, gözlerim kapalı.
İstanbul’u dinliyorum, gözlerim kapalı;
Serin serin Kapalıçarşı,
Cıvıl cıvıl Mahmutpaşa
Güvercin dolu avlular,
Çekiç sesleri geliyor doklardan
Güzelim bahar rüzgarında ter kokuları;
İstanbul’u dinliyorum, gözlerim kapalı.
İstanbul’u dinliyorum, gözlerim kapalı
Başımda eski alemlerin sarhoşluğu,
Loş kayıkhaneleriyle bir yalı
Dinmiş lodosların uğultusu içinde.
İstanbul’u dinliyorum gözlerim kapalı.
İstanbul’u dinliyorum, gözlerim kapalı;
Bir yosma geçiyor kaldırımdan.
Küfürler, şarkılar, türküler, laf atmalar.
Bir şey düşüyor elinden yere;
Bir gül olmalı.
İstanbul’u dinliyorum, gözlerim kapalı.
galata tower and karaköy
kız kulesi
İstanbul’u dinliyorum, gözlerim kapalı;
Bir kuş çırpınıyor eteklerinde.
Alnın sıcak mı, değil mi biliyorum;
Dudakların ıslak mı değil mi, biliyorum;
Beyaz bir ay doğuyor fıstıkların arkasından
Kalbinin vuruşundan anlıyorum;
İstanbul’u dinliyorum.
