{happy monday!}

. . . after a beautiful weekend of organza dresses and perfect manicures, gold glitter and party preparations, running in heels and fashionable late, and always, always, a little romance -- it's back to business and a brand new week . . .

happy monday & first {long awaited} day of summer!
hope it's off to wonderful start,

. . . adore vogue espana's softer shades for Fall, with a dash of leopard for contrast . . .

{christmas time in the city}

Shades of blue, white, gold and pink may have replaced the traditional red & green of Christmases past, and yet . . . there's still nothing quite like the sheer vibrancy of this festively saturated hue that celebrates the holiday spirit quite like red . . .
