. . . oftentimes things come together perfectly and there is endless inspiration at every turn, but sometimes, and especially during exceptionally busy weeks, inspiration is elusive . . . happily, one thing that fell beautifully into place was this collection of fluttering thoughts — and so, on this early friday morning: a charming mix of things . . .

. . . cozy reading corners


. . . raindrops on the ocean

. . . smokey eyes & windswept hair

. . . seaside inspiration

. . . pretty underthings {from agent provacateur}

. . . skylights


. . . white blouses & summer sandals

. . . perfectly ornate

. . . eiffel tower pillow cover {via ephemerette}

. . . topknots & lacy summer dresses

. . . fires in the springtime {via ephemerette}

. . . pretty packaging

. . . elegantly hidden


. . . gracefully gilded {via aubrey road}

. . . chandeliers in entryways

. . . palest pink seashells

. . . palest pink lace {via definitely golden}

. . . grand ballrooms


. . . masquerade balls

. . . settes & staircases

. . . sea & sky

. . . secret doorways

. . . always & forever, butterflies

. . . and these french words — il n’est jamais trop tard pour être ce que tu veux être: it is never too late to be what you want to be . . .
