I'm finding it a little hard to 'get back to reality' after a perfect Easter long weekend. . .  With a romantic trip up the coast to a little seaside holiday town, brunches & cocktail evenings, days spent in the garden & beautiful dinners with family (& a constant state of chocolate-bliss) -- the weekend just whirled by like a dream & before I knew what was happening it was Tuesday again! But a long weekend was precisely what was needed & now there are a few little plans starting to take shape & soon there will be some changes around the blog. . . So stay tuned!

I hope your Easter weekend was perfectly lovely --

have a positively beautiful weekend | a few links

 

Have arrived at another weekend yet again -- & although summer may have slowly drifted away, still have a million & one things to do on this autumnal weekend. With letters to write, an evening picnic by the seaside,  a high tea & long walks along the river, there may not be enough time for any other plans! & with Easter just a mere week away there is a long, long weekend to look forward to. . .

Below -- some lovely links, to inspire & delight you at the start of this beautiful weekend:

1. the very first great love story posted on {this is glamorous} -- was such fun [& of course romantic!] to write & research & a short biography [at the bottom of the page] for the site

2. a look into the crystal fortress that was the chanel fall 2012 RTW show -- via lace & tea

3. a sweet & wonderfully girly photo-shoot found on dustjacket attic

4. wanting for EVERYTHING on this page

5. an intimate look into the costumes & design for the madame butterfly ballet 

hoping your weekend is off to a positively beautiful start --

What a wonderfully glamorous editorial by Steven Chee for Fashion Quarterly NZ -- in a charming mix of prints & colours & a beautifully '60s silhouette -- these beguiling images certainly inspire a more thoughtful approach while dressing to do chores or daily errands . . .

 

Hoping your weekend is as glamorous as this --

Joey
