. . . astonishingly, very nearly at the month of march, two months of the new year passed already, and already, windows have been open to the late-winter air that is now, nearly imperceptibly, tinged with the promise of blossoming magnolia trees and longer, sun-drenched days ahead, and so, for today, it's away with wintry things, soft flushed cheeks, and a dash of perfect pink across the lips . . .
. . . and how it is thursday already is pure madness, but happily, that means valentine's day is next week, and so, chocolate truffles and champagne, baies and gardénia and satin, silk, and chiffon, in the spirit of pure romance . . .
"I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick."
~ Audrey Hepburn
Perhaps every girl's first makeup memory is trying on lipstick as a child, in an attempt to rush into the world of grown-ups: a whirlwind of galas and coffee dates and afternoons spent shopping -- all while donning a stunning crimson rouge à lèvres . . .
. . . at the moment, it's travel cases & carry-ons, and vintage hand-beaded make-up cases, but upon arriving home in a few days, have resolved to re-organise the shelves and vanities, with their perfume bottles scattered prettily about, and the situation is, perhaps, even more dire for the lipsticks & glosses, which are in every handbag, on every surface, and at once, lost; the solution, perhaps: this clever drawer organiser, which not only looks lovely, but keeps everything in its place . . .
