love the clothes. . .

ADORE THE PALE:

See how white her skin is? 

Now I can just claim my sunlessness is a fashion statement. 

Thank you Alice+Olivia.

see you soon, friend!

it's the little things. . .

. . .on a perfectly dreary day, 

tea and cinnamon toast to chase away the chills, 

and a lovely novel to transport my afternoon. . .

obsessed

peachy rose. gorgeous.

and SO romantic for our tiny little bedroom that seems always filled with light.

What is this life if, full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs

And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,

Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,

Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,

And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can

Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this if, full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare.

arrivals

Last week I ordered a swim suit from Figleaves, and today it arrived.

This is printed on the lid of the box:

Have to love when you find a company that will take the time.

Happy weekend!

orangerie

Maybe someday I'll have a glass room attached to my house full of trees and gorgeous furniture. Maybe.

dream in Crystal

yes, thanks to my friend Kelsey, Crystorama has me totally entranced.

The 14 karat gold-plated one (second from last) is my favorite - go figure.

sunny skies

you can't blame a girl for wishing it were warmer. ;)

wire-woven

I have a thing for these chairs, even though they're really nothing like other furniture I have already.

I'm sure someday I can find a place in my (hopefully immense) study for one of them.

oh for an office. . .

If I ever have a studio, I hope it looks like this one.

Big black and whites full of light.

hello. . .

sorry for my terrible neglect, but I have a new obsession. . .

I think it's easier for me to keep up with because I have a direction. Anyway, I'll try to do better at doing both from now on. :)

Merry Christmas, guys.

Lots of love to you all.

K&O

that chair blog idea

um,

done.

[here she is]

no really. I started a Tumblr.
with THIS:

shazam!

I feel I could have a blog devoted entirely to chairs.

holiday table

Despite having gotten practically an entire kitchen

less than a year ago in wedding gifts, I can't help thinking about

adding to our already wonderful collection of stemware and dishes.

So, we have this:

but I'm thinking with a few little dashes of this

some of these

and a set or two of these

we will have a seriously festive table for Christmas.

In like, 20 years.

When I can actually buy this stuff.

but, of course

Least I forget, I also have a crush on this haircut.

no no no, her haircut. REALLY. 

See, I'll even show you without Ewan:

See? The HAIR people, the hair. 

It's kickin'.

things to come

Completely loving her effortless little haircut. 

And getting inspired for my big chop-it-off fest!

Also kinda diggin' that sweater, maybe in deep turquoise?

just dreaming about the end of this week. . .

REST (n.) a time spent drinking coffee in bed, reading, 

and cutting photographs from new magazines; 

what occurs at the end of a long week; 

a time most often saved for Sundays.
