it's a bit dated now, but i have been obsessing over the rosamund pike photos in november's town&country. i have adored her since she was the most perfect jane in pride&prejudice {kiera knightly version} and here she is an exquisite english beauty, so beautifully dressed.
bonjour mes amies! i was so thrilled when kate spade tweeted this behind-the-scenes video from their fall photo shoot. the star is bryce dallas howard, who plays villainous hilly holbrook in the help {you've seen, yes?}. i've heard that she is just about the opposite of her character in real life, but she is stunning in the 50's/60's inspired clothing nonetheless. perfect for kate spade this season. goodness do i wishmad men was returning to the air this fall. but here, i am in love with the vintage glamour and the fun vibe {dance if you wanna}. are beehives really back? only time will tell! i hope that your day is off to a perfectstart. weekend is coming coming. xx hillary
coming across these luxurious soapsby murphy&daughters several days ago in martha stewart living, something about them resonated in my mind. perhaps because they look like vintage french candies?almost too pretty to unwrap. like {upscale} homemade caramels. or because i nearly felt the silky milky waxy soap & smelled soothing lavender & cooling cucumber just off the page. although generally an {anti-bacterial} liquid soap user, i have always been attracted tofine & delicately wrapped bars & recently brought a gorgeous fresh bar as a hostess gift. what are your thoughts on bar soaps? love them for the wrapping & aroma or for everyday use? eager to learn your opinions! & for the next darling friend to host me, a perfect preview. bon soir. xx hillary
