{colour inspiration: august sunrise + bits of gold}

. . . hello! monday, monday and things are off to beautiful start -- early morning at the gym, plans & projects and a brand new week, and couldn't dream of a lovelier way to begin than with shades of pink -- tea rose and cherry blossom, bermuda and august sunrise -- all intermingled with summer wicker and lace, and always elegant with bits of gold . . .

******

* give-away: until wednesday
* guest post: at home in arkansas magazine

{two lovely things: champagne & lace}

{two lovely things:} whether a dreamily cozy reading corner or a wonderfully elegant dinner party, always drawn to that perfect shade of champagne, more lovely with utterly romantic bits of lace . . .

{p.s.} isn't it a brilliant idea to combine glass dinner plates and beautifully handwritten doilies as place cards?

{also:} until wednesday to enter the lace bangle set give-away . . .

wishing you the happiest of mondays,
xo

{shoes, shoes, shoes}

. . . hello! had posted these bronzy & bedecked with bows valentino peeptoes on the side project this morning, but has been one of those busy, busy days {and so exceptionally sleepy for some reason} and they're so daintily pretty and summer perfect, had to share them here as well -- can imagine them with a pair of tailored city shorts, a high ponytail and a silk blouse . . .

{p.s.} previous shoes: mugnai | chanel | lanvin | louboutin
