{hope you've had a beautiful spring weekend & a few lovely links}

“We are all mortal until the first kiss and the second glass of wine.”

— Eduardo Galeano

. . . and it has certainly been a weekend of kisses & wine, and bouquets of roses scattered about the place; there were pim's orange and banana bread, and a traditional sunday dinner with family from out of town; pretty pastel dresses and golden sandals, and that pervasive feeling, that has been hanging in the air for the past few months, of change and excitement for the next few days and weeks . . .

hope you've had an impossibly lovely spring weekend, and that it's beautiful where you are,

Paris Fashion Week SS 2012...Antonia

Antonia Wesseloh, after Anne Valérie Hash, Paris, September 2011.

{monday, monday & a brand new week}

. . . the place is in a bit of a topsy turvy state, as all things are before change, and this week's to-do lists are miles long, but it's lovely to be back after a beautiful weekend, and before it all begins . . .

New York Fashion Week SS 2012...Erin

Model Erin Fee, NYFW, September 2011. I know you probably can't really see, but she has the sweetest little cat-doll pendant around her neck (actually I can't tell whether it is a cat or a fox but it sure is cute!)

{take me away № 05 | the travel file}

Perhaps the single most important of details before you depart for your trip, [besides your packing list!, of course], is taking care of the things you treasure most of all: your home and the loved ones in it, and the details of your life.



Many travel for business and/or vacation without giving much thought to possibility that something might happen to them while away, and though it is never favorable to think upon, it is important to take extra measures to ensure everything is in order, and so, today’s {take me away} column discusses some of the important details one must take care of beforehand, as well as a few other important things to take along on the voyage . . .



T H E · T R A V E L · I N F O R M A T I O N · L I S T

Each destination [as there could be multiple destinations planned for one trip] would have its own set of details [repeated for each destination] that should include the following information:

destination: be specific, i.e. London, UK

method of travel: car rental company & contact information, train or flight details, airline and contact information, etc.

destination accommodations: where you are staying, be it as a guest with family or friends, hotel, rental home, etc. along with name and address, website and/or telephone number



departure date: when you expect to arrive at the given destination
date of return: day, month, year

method of travel: which flight, with details; or car, train, etc. with details, if different from above

expected arrival time: by estimation [vital to include]



It is important to leave your emergency contact information with whomever is staying at your home while you are away -- be it a neighbor, family member, or a trusted friend. Feel free to use this list as a starting point for your own. You may wish to customize some of the notations, especially if you have numerous pets, children at home, and/or additional people living within your home.
