inspiration monday






I don't know about you but my fire was burning overtime this weekend. The temperature has definitely taken a dive, reminding me that Winter is well and truly on it's way.  In theory, I love Winter - crackling log fires; a flurry of end-of-year parties and get-togethers; the possibility of snow (so enchanting... in theory); and of course, dressing up in all the wonderful winter fashion.

I love pouring over the fashion mag's and catwalk shows, deciding which 'Look' appeals to me this year - do I go for Gothic glamour, perhaps invest in some burgundy leather?(oxblood red is the new black this year).  It all looks so warm & inviting, so.....chic.

This Winter, I hope to get the balance between fantasy & reality right. Elegant, cool, warm & comfortable. Something like this:

Happy Monday everyone! Here's the quote for this week:
