PRETTY SUNFADED............................









Gorgeous editorial from this months Italian Elle magazine.....................reminds me of Summer in the Hamptons....... ......amazing farmer's markets, strawberry picking, hunting for vintage, strolling along tree-lined streets, drinking wine on the patio with great friends at the vineyard, pretty dresses & fields of beautiful flowers to take home........oh and grass.....acres of it.......where I kick off my shoes and wander for the afternoon.........

PRETTY LITTLE THINGS & BUTTERFLY WINGS........................












Beautifully faded images emerge from a dreamlike state.......mythical girls in ultra feminine, romantic frocks that delight.......overexposed with stencil-like butterflies & cherub curls...........
ok so I know they are really moths...but butterflies seem much more romantic especially since one followed me today on my walk to the subway.....who knew they hung out in the city?......Editorial courtesy of Italian Vogue.......

PERFECT SCENTS..........................

Trouble again.....I've found something else to collect & obsess over......not only vintage perfume bottles...but now there are a whole new lot of modern scents that come in luxe vintage inspired bottles, that not only smell amazing, but are equally pleasing to the eye............these are some of my favorites so far......Balenciaga, Valentino, Clive Christian No.1 & Tom Ford Azure Lime........

ALCHEMY LIGHTS.......................................

I've always loved candles that pull inspiration from the past.....like D.L. & Co. & Diptyque.......whose scents and packaging is equally engaging......Soap & Paper Factory & Rock of Ages Press have both created a collection of candles that not only delight the senses, but also add a touch of vintage inspired decor to any room........

THESE ARE SLIGHTLY HARDCORE..................


Repossi...well....more importantly Gaia Repossi's jewelry is amazing.....Her pieces are very unique......they feel vintage inspired & delicate...but with an edge......I love the elongated, filigree-like finger ring and honeycomb cuff.......& the chunky bloom rings are to die for......especially since they are filled with diamonds......I think my anniversary is coming up soon......hint, hint!
