{thursday musings & slants of sunlight}

. . . perhaps one of the best things ever is a late lunch on the terrace, and especially an enchantingly sundrenched terrace that holds the secrets of long-forgotten conversations, of laughter and champagne and stolen afternoon kisses . . .

{p.s.} this week's favourite five soon! xo

{two lovely things: mirror, mirror}

{two lovely things}: whether an extraordinarily elegant 1940s dressing table from the south of france or a exquisitely ornate 1920s mirrored table with a charming pink glass lamp and spring roses, the dazzling glimmer of mirrored things always infuses perfect glamour into every room . . .

{p.s.} a few things on this bright thursday morning:
* fun new things at the side project
* bicycling in heels
* and the third guest post for lucky magazine can be viewed here

{gilded mirrors + chandeliers}

. . . would think a better place to work would be a clear and tidy desk, but maximalist tendencies are hopelessly drawn to the gilt and wonderfully ornate mirror and glamorous chandelier, cut crystal candy dishes and stacks upon stacks of favourite books and imagine this to be the most perfect place for inspiration, a little work, and most certainly, whiling away an early spring evening . . .
