Lighting is something that can completely alter the look and feel of a space.

For about a year I looked for a new light for our diningroom; until I found this pendant by Kouboo. I know some don’t understand the change but, I simply love the textural feel the wicker brings to the room. If you follow along on Instagram then you know we now have a new rug but, I’ll chat about that another time.

Right out of the Box

Today I want to share more wonderful examples with you.

Is there any one fixture that speaks to you? I could absolutely see any one of these lights in the Chalet. That’s my downfall friends - I like it all! And anyway would I have shared anything I didn’t LOVE! hahaha!

Til next time my friends be well and be safe!

Recently I watched a documentary about the clothing designer Halston and it made me think about the fragrance that bore his name and all the other magical scents that have impacted my life.

Scent is one of the strongest connectors to memory we humans have. I will stop dead in my tracks if I catch a familiar scent, flooding me with love and longing.

My mother Rita wore was Opium. I remember a beautiful tray of perfumes on her dresser - I have the strongest memory of her also wearing Youth Dew and Arpege by Lanvin.

Daddy must have loved Arpege because Rita had the scent in so many forms. I remember all of these packages.

My sister always smells terrific - for years she wore Lauren.

My Gram wore this Nina Ricci staple. I still have a small bottle of it.

My niece wears Mademoiselle and I’m always struck by this gorgeous scent.

I adore Hei its what my husband wears.

This image shows my life in scent. Starting with Loves Baby Soft and it’s powdery fresh scent and moving across the page. All these led me to what I’ve been wearing for the last decade Burberry. If I try and wear something else my husband and son will tell me I smell like a stranger and they miss Burberry.
