. fashion lust * shield by YSL .

sometimes, just sometimes we come across

something so entirely unique and beautiful that

it speaks directly to our soul. i do believe that these

"shield" loafer pumps are fabulous enough for a modern day

marie antoinette...

. house love * herringbone floors .

 

always a love for real hardwood floors...

it's a renovator's dream of pulling back old carpet to reveal

what has not been seen for decades and ones heart nearly

skips a beat the moment those beautiful boards are visible.

so as no surprise i am entirely smitten when they are

in the regal herringbone pattern.

now... how to convince my beloved that

the beauty is worth the time invested?

. color inspiration * tobacco .

a color that is the most luxurious mix of brown, white, and

i must say gold because of how lovely it is... i call it tobacco.

it's so rich and absolutely comforting.

mixed with white it is entirely sophisticated and  polished,

with black or a dark brown it is moody and mysterious.
