Monday Morning Inspiration

“The creative mind can neither have complexes nor disorders. It can only have good days and bad days and quiet days of whispering truth.”

Hello dear bloggy friends! I hope your weekend was sweet and full of happy times. Sorry for the semi-sporadic posts these past few weeks, I guess I’ve been having some moments of whispering truth myself… However, things are starting to look up and I look forward to seeing more of you this week.

Have a lovely Monday!

Hello O’2ND

 

Seriously, instantly in love with O’2NDs Spring Campaign. Full 60S dresses, cascading ruffles, floral ornamentation, ankle length gloves, whimsical hats, oversized props…

Everything here is expertly pruned and photographed by the maestro himself - Tim Walker.

Dainty, demure and delicious!

Hello Marquis & Camus

Stomach, meet butterflies:

Vintage necklace made with brass flowers and handmade silk flowers.

Victorian Romance necklace made from pearls, hand dyed threaded lace with silk and crystals.

Exquisite lace collar necklace with vintage charms and tassels.

Red Carpet necklace with rhinestone studded circles and vintage chandelier crystal and silk ribbon.

 

These Marquis and Camus necklaces are unique, feminine and statement making. Just the way I like it.

What neckwear are you coveting these days?

Oops Your Slip Is Showing…

…While almost always an embarrassing situation to handle, unless you are wearing one of these pretty under things.

Your Slip Is Showing is a line of apparel whose mini and knee length slips are meant to be seen!

Layer them under your skirts & dresses or mix n’match with your favourite skinnies and bring on  the glam.

How incredibly fun, flirty and fancy! And since they are rather steeply priced I think they would make for a lovely DIY project. What do you think?

A Timeless Love Story

The Taj Mahal is more than just a story of an emperor in love with his beautiful wife. It is also the love story of thousands of craftsmen who put their hearts and souls into creating one of the most exquisite monument of the world.

Tried to capture some of that exquisiteness in my camera…

The Taj Mahal – In all her glory!

Trying to convince hubby dearest to build me a Taj! (wink)

Parisian Love

A photo-shoot set in one of Paris’s most pleasant gardens. Could there be anything better than that? Absolutely Yes!

Especially since it involves one of my favourite designer and two of my favourite fashion bloggers.

How beautiful are they? No. Seriously, how beautiful are they!

The Cherry Blossom Girl and Miss Pandora, model Alexandra Grecco’s creations at the Jardin des Tuleries ’s fair in Paris.

OkaySK

Shrugs and Caplets just seem to be the perfect winter wedding accessories which is why I was delighted to discover OkaySK where Selena Kearney designs some of the most beautiful capes you’ll ever see.

With romance and rose bouquets in my thoughts this week, I’m currently being seduced by this rosette fur cape.

 

Simple, sophisticated and with lots of gorgeous details these beautifully handmade shrugs are not just for winter wedding brides but will also look lovely when paired with your summer evening outfits.

See more and purchase them here.

Wallpaper It

Yes, sometimes it is really as simple as picking the right wallpaper to turn your living space from boring to fabulous.

Gone are the days of slick minimalism and solid coloured wallpapers. Get creative and think textures, patterns, expressions, colours and choose one that best fits your style sensibilities.

Here are some of my favourites.

There are many and varied ways of installing wallpapers and currently I’m drawn to the idea of framing them like wall art.
