{chandeliers + fête nationale}

One of the best things about entering a room is looking up, up to discover streams of reflected light from the crystals of a stunning chandelier -- instantly everything is transformed under a soft and elegant glow . . .

{hazy + saturated}

Hazy, saturated tones with just a little grit to offset the refined, these are my favourites of Taki Bibelas' photographic work . . .

{almost like floating}

Have been trying desparately to find time to play with photography again, and every time I want to see the world through a lens, I find myself drawn to this Vogue IT shoot by Paolo Roversi.

A simple blank canvas . . . blissful, soft and ethereal lighting, and a quiet serenity that is almost like floating . . .

{a new week}

Beautiful, beautiful weekend -- time in the sun, long dinners, cold champagne, talked for hours, stayed up late . . .

{summer is a magical time}
