Friday!
So, that week went by incredibly fast, eh? Happy Friday! Tonight I’m having an early dinner with a couple dear friends and then I think I’ll spend the rest of the evening reading in bed with a lovely face mask treatment. Then Saturday is going to be about wandering around aimlessly before procuring a cream puff swan. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone! xx

Cavalcade!
Hello! Here are some of the beautiful things that have been haunting me lately. I guess the common thread might be a bright zing of color, lovely packaging, romantic hair and lush flowers, of course. See more Cavalcade! posts HERE.
Beautiful Eva Green in the film Cracks. The sets and wardrobe are breathtaking!
The hair and makeup for the Bottega Veneta fall 2013 runway was stunning. More HERE.

I still love using this rose and vanilla lipblush. It smells so dreamy.

Graham Lott
These rose garden prints by photographer, Graham Lott, are gorgeous. I love that when you look a little closer, you’ll see the buds aren’t exactly alone–they have little bug friends lurking around their petals. I also love that his prints come in so many sizes–the huge one above the fireplace below looks so good! More HERE.
