moody.

L.A. is having an indian summer as of late, and I can’t help but wish for sweater weather, overcast skies, cozied up weekends indoors, and other autumnal joys that do not include Starbucks’ pumpkin...

taking the time to actually read the newspaper.

Well, after a fair month of going on something of a blogging hiatus (despite some occasional silly chatter and addictive pinning), I am back! Mostly, I’ve been consumed with work, and savoring lazy...

plaid & chevron

Outfit posts are not really my thing, but I had a fascination with the unlikely pairing of plaid and chevron in a way that kind of looks like a navajo princess decided to go to prep school....

to paint a pretty picture

Images and scenes filling my inspiration tank recently: buckets of paintbrushes, black tulle, autumn capes, and country breakfasts . . .

Parc Monceau

I’m a Left Bank girl, but there’s something about Parc Monceau that justifies the trek across town. Work has been particularly stressful lately, hence the recent occurrence of a 10pm nutella jar...

shutterbug

Things that have caught my little shutterbug eye recently: bewitching black cats, jewelry that looks like candy, new magazines for inspiration, and quiet corners of home . . .

smitten

Finding myself utterly smitten with the exquisite combination of muted, dusty pinks and washed out, charcoal greys these days . . . and also playing around with some fun new filters with my...

peut-être

Lovebirds at the Sunday bird market in Paris, pink champagne truffles, summer novels, and snapshots of my favorite new magazine, “peut-être,” filled to the brim with dreams, romance and grace. You...

let’s sail to capri

One day we ventured by boat from Positano to the island of Capri, a truly exquisite place (although we opted to bypass the tourist-infested center swelled with designer shops and their “see and be...

La Dolce Vita

I’ve always dreamed about visiting the Amalfi Coast, a fantasy resulting at least partially from seeing too many Sophia Loren films and postcard renditions of lemon tree sprinkled mountains...

vignettes

I find that photographs are the most appealing and thought-provoking when presented through soft vignettes and nostalgic snapshots that tell stories and capture beautiful little details, rather...

little black book

I must say this particular type of address book does make for a very fun and flirty summer accessory. Just sayin. Get yours here ;-)

a new home

As you may have noticed, I recently made some big design changes to the blog! I’ve been meaning to update and tidy up the look to something that maintains my feminine style, but feels a little more...

Lately . . .

Lately in Paris… clouds of ballet slippers at Repetto, a package of creamy lemon tarts from Pierre Hermé (that vanished rather quickly), fairy tale statues in the park (can you spot Puss in...

The Quiet Moments

Freshly washed china, infinitely inspiring Pantone color cards, the blissful combination of an open book and a full cup of tea, and the way everyone seems to hold their breath before popping a...

Field of Dreams

Been meaning to post about this magical place in Pacific Grove, California, where a blanket of pink flowers carpet the cliffs along the coast. Talk about la vie en rose, eh?

A Mad Tea Party

I recently hosted a little tea party to chit-chat with some lovely ladies about a very exciting new project in the works. But more about that later… let’s talk dessert, people! I wanted to create a...

Zooey Deschanel for Lula Magazine

Came across these dreamy shots captured by Ellen Von Unwerth hiding away in an old issue of Lula Mag. The perfect inspiration for a sepia-tinted summer by the sea, n’est-ce pas?

This Side of Paradise

Some of my favorite things: silk nightgowns, lace scallops, polka dot chiffon, pearly buttons, rosette embellishments, all in heavenly shades of ivory, blush and champagne . . .

The Marie Antoinette Book

We’ve all seen this decadent and delicious film but did you know there was a book?! It was such a treat to flip through all these beautiful images and decorate them with my own frou frou costume...

Things just don’t grow if you don’t bless them with your patience

Fresh blooms, perfume gardens, beautiful novels, quiet corners of home, satin ribbon sleeping masks, shoes made from vintage newspapers, champagne for two, and fairy dust kisses . . . these are...

You can close your eyes

A sepia-tinted palette of beautiful details set to the tune of this slightly melancholic but nonetheless beautiful song. Wishing you all an impossibly lovely weekend xo Photo credits: Miss...

Happily Ever After

{ Dress: Whistles. Shoes: Chanel } Glimpses of a recent road trip to Carmel, California, home of my awkward middle school years, awkward first dates, and the general phase of me just being a weird...

The Girl Next “Dior”

Perhaps it’s my love for all things Mad Men lately that has me twirling around in polka dot dresses and painting my lips in bright reds and corals, but don’t you think it’s fun being so unabashedly...
