{spring things: closet organization}

. . . must confess, have been avoiding re-organising the closets for spring & summertime, for it is rather a monumental, somewhat overwhelming task, and shoes seem to be overtaking the place, making mornings quite a flurry, and so, a little inspiration before it begins . . .

{two lovely things: a paris apartment & hermès}

. . . how we arrived at thursday {or mid-april, for that matter}, is an utter mystery, but the spring sun has been shining and have you ever had amazingly enormous plans that hinged on the completion of a million smaller ones? . . . and in a few months' time, the beginning of one of the grandest adventures, and despite excitement uncontained for the things to come, for now, there are to-do lists and always emails, handwritten thank you notes and long lost friends to be reacquainted with -- and so -- a few moments away to get caught up, leaving you with these two very lovely things . . .

hope you're having a stunningly beautiful week so far,
xo

{two lovely things: books & bouquets}

. . . for this morning, two lovely things -- stacks upon stacks of hardcover books and an enormously luxurious bouquet of bright spring blossoms -- [not to mention the floor-to-ceiling windows, ribbons of light and perfect view of the gardens] . . .

{p.s.} the floating coffee table is albrizzi

{on the market: grand victorian, australia}

. . . and on the topic of wool tartan dresses and caramel-coloured suede, early autumn also invokes wonderful thoughts of softly glowing fireplaces and luxurious faux fur throws, the romance of candlelight and evenings spent cozy at home, enveloped in the loveliest things such as in this grand victorian home, filled with marble tables and graceful archways, intricately carved wood mirrors and tufted chaises, and best of all, that inexplicably nostalgic and always welcoming warm & woodsy feeling . . .

{p.s.} a previous on the market: a swedish apartment

{interior designer: rees roberts}

. . . crème caramel-coloured velvet perfectly paired with lucite, exotic wood and modern classics, sweeps of carerra and ultra-glamorous mirrors, and most of all, beautiful spaces that defer to the elements of views, art, and light . . .

{one last thing}

. . . dashing out the door for a late brunch, but can never resist a beautiful chevron floor, especially perfectly time-worn and intermingled with elegant wood panelling, a tailored white sofa, floods of light, and a pile of strewn books & magazines . . .

{p.s.} late weekend links below xo

{two lovely things: magazine storage}

{two lovely things:} wood & metal along a wall in a sunny room for favourite past issues, and custom built-ins in powder blue for storing your impressive collection of vogue paris . . .

{books & blossoms}

Inspired by this simple arrangement of neatly stacked piles of books alongside an enormous bouquet of fresh pinkish blossoms in this Parisian living room and wonder if have been overthinking things all along . . .

{p.s.} also adore the stunning gilt mirror
