{tabletop inspiration : sunrise & cerulean}

. . . when it comes to table settings, nearly always prefer a light and ethereal colour palette -- white and gold and perhaps, only on occasion, a dash of hollywood cerise, but as the days drift steadily toward chillier temperatures, have been falling for deeper and richer hues -- cobalt & hermès, sunrise & cerulean -- intermingled, of course, with elegantly patterned table linens and astonishingly lovely chandeliers dripping in glittering crystals and bits of gold . . .

{holiday style inspiration : silver sequins}

. . . vintage vases overflowing with lilies and white roses, elegant desserts and candlelight, a glass of champagne, or two, and most of all, a perfect sprinkling of silver sequins to catch the light . . .
