{blog inspiration: linen + lavender}

. . . completely over heels for this stunning room -- the incredibly elegant chandelier, the soft greys and crisp linens . . .

. . . and always exciting to discover new & wonderful blogs positively filled with beautiful things, such as linen + lavender, {here & here} a place that have been visiting nearly obsessively for the past little while and a place absolutely made for wandering about, getting hopelessly caught up and utterly lost in . . .

{p.s.} previous blog inspiration: bardot in blue

{also new today:}
* summertime, summertime
* happy monday

{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 . . .

{p.s.}
* happy bastille day {fête nationale} to friends + family in paris xo
