late summer sun + stunning details

As the summer winds down the light of the afternoon sun seems to cast a little bit softer light and the rays feels all the more sweet. These images capture that perfectly and it creates such a lovely backdrop to the unique and decorative chandelier of this attic space and the exquisite cutout detail of the Roberto Cavalli's dress.

home crush {thoughtful design}

I think that there is a lot to be said about over thinking interior design to the point where it can cause a home to look staged and unlivable. I think the details and care that went into this home are thoughtful but not over thought--truly an exquisite example of well used materials, scale, symmetry, and color.

all tied up with a bow!

I just got home from a very festive and quite fun Christmas party and when trying to decide what to wear I was very much wishing I had one of these lovely bow adorned pieces. They are all the perfect blend of feminine and festive.
