{hello & a few things}

. . . hello! another exceptionally wonderful weekend of gauzy mornings and dusky bookshops, ruffled eyelet and lacy bedskirts, sunny, sunny afternoons and inspiration everywhere . . . and it's monday again, and as you know, at the end of every week, there are always weekend wishes & a few lovely links -- oftentimes late, {sometimes even sunday}, and yet this past weekend was somehow and completely missed in the whirlwind of skipping town for quieter places, and since still away for a little while longer, thought it might be lovely to include a few things today . . .

happy monday! hope your week is off to a beautiful start,

Aussie cover beats the Korean cover cause of colour power and pose






Aussie Vogue styles using trends like neutrals and coral lips and colours while Korean
Vogue uses more accessories and dark neutral beige and chocolate tones and drapes.





both Aussie and Korean Vogues like to use structures and sharpe artistic designs

coral lips are VERY summer 2010 don't miss to use it.and Vogue Korea uses
strong accessories I've never seen in any other editorial lately.

Australian Vogue brings the sexy beach babe look with surfers.The makeup is the best of all spring magazines I've ever seen,making a statement of coral lips.The vivid colours play with the waves and surfers want us to go to Australia.

{colour inspiration: bits of gold + palest pink}

. . . after falling for the rustic charm of sunday supper's beautiful baguette & brie arrangements, have fallen head over heels for the sophisticated and fairytale-like combination of glittery gold and pale, pale pink . . .

{colour inspiration: white + a brand new year}

. . . a cold and bright early january morning and glitters of white floating outside the window, in perfect alignment with the fresh and blank slate of a brand new year, and after a long good-bye to the past year in a little white dress, delighted to come across the magic that is tim walker in shades of white and gold -- white for all that's new, and gold for the dreams yet to be . . .

hope the new year is off to a beautiful start,

There's a feeling of promise in the air, intermingling -- between the hydrangeas, wisteria and lilacs -- with the softest, faintest scent of blossoming perfume . . .

Happy June!
