{style inspiration: spring's sexy brights}

. . . absurdly in love with spring's vibrant hues -- lips in shades of coral & cerise and belted dresses in riotous purple, frolicsome jumpsuits in shimmery turquoise and flirtatious dresses in peach and long skirts paired with tangerine -- such a wildly welcome change from winter's grey days and suddenly, the air feels electric . . .

{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

{at the shops: florence & florence, uk}

. . . happened across florence & florence, an utterly charming vintage shop run by mother and daughter, christine and annie florence, who have a love for beautiful things and "specialise in finding exciting second-hand pieces", filling their little shop with delicate glass compotes and filigreed pepper pots befitting the most elegantly extravagant dinner party on a mid-spring evening, scalloped cake stands and silver sugar tongs perfect for high-tea on a sunday afternoon, and tea & cake sets that will have you dreaming of the most romantic early april picnics . . .
