Musings
Tablescape & Landscape
I'll preface with the fact that you'll want (need) to look at this album in its entirety. Merely the tablescapes and landscapes from Erica Pelosini & Louis Leeman's wedding amidst the lemon trees in Capri brought me to a mental moment of lust. Tall orchids and fragrant rosemary in terra cotta pots decorated a dimly lit dinner table post nuptials, while a collection of citrus and bougainvillaea speckled a table for the rehearsal dinner the night prior. The tablscapes and landscapes were just small components, however - this wasn't just a wedding - it was truly an event. The Italian fashion maven and Dutch shoemaker certainly threw quite the fête, Instagram-ready at every glance, for even the most discerning eye. See more, here.
Sweet Dreams
My friends close to me know I'm serious about my sleep wear and I was just delighted to spot these PJs last evening at Serena & Lily's Summer Trunk Show. They would make the perfect addition to a summer PJ collection, from nodding off to evening sea breezes to scanning the morning paper with your caffeinated brew. See details here.
Sentiments
Today marks the third day in a row where I've come across geraniums - either in person or via photograph. They immediately make me think of my Father, who had a collection of geraniums in various terra cotta pots in his home office growing up. They dotted the window sill in hues of pinks and reds, next to a bookshelf chalked full of CDs, cassette tapes and stereo equipment. Along with his boat log, chappy motorcycles and pretty much any possession relating to any said water sport, his geraniums provided him with great joy - and were not to be touched. I learned this the hard way when I "borrowed" a few of his geraniums to spruce up my backyard at my summer pad in Newport. When my parents came over for a barbeque after a night out on the water, my theft was revealed. I was scolded and told to promptly return them to their rightful, nurturing proprietor. To my credit, the potted geraniums made a fabulous addition to my backyard.
