SMILE; FOR SUNDAY

A PERFECTLY GIRLY WEEKEND ♥

 

-- This weekend, I am in the girliest of moods -- wearing blush florals & a ponytail, I cannot stop thinking about bows & ribbons & pretty peplums & little french phrases. . . I feel like sitting at my dresser & playing with perfectly pretty lipsticks & painting my nails & flicking through the glossy pages of the new Harper's Bazaar. . . 

I hope you Saturday is as pretty as mine! xx

HAPPY WEEKEND

 

After the most wonderful week & weekend with visitors & birthday dinners & much coffee & beautiful long walks along the river, as well as still feeling the after-effects of an Easter long weekend (& an almost chocolate overdose!) -- I seem to be finding it hard to do anything but be outside with the absolutely beautiful  weather at the moment. . . 

So, I'm sorry the blogging has been a little scarce lately -- I will try my very best to find a happy medium between the outdoors & my computer & will be back soon with some absolutely charming posts!

I definitely hope your weekend has been as lovely as mine, 

Joey    xx

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 --

Joey xx

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 --
