…hoping to put my best face forward for a productive and wonderful week filled with racks of dresses in my dressing room…
a light, neutral palette …
some antiquing…
shelves full of books…
the perfect drapes…
creative shoe displays…
…and enjoying the late sunsets while we still can.

Hello there. Doesn’t Thursday always feel like the beginning of the weekend? No matter how much you must accomplish before Friday evening, when it officially commences? It’s always a wash of relief to wake up and know it’s Thursday. There are four full days before Monday comes round again.
This weekend is particularly exciting for me because Saturday is my birthday. It’s always lovely when your birthday falls on the weekend, particularly Saturday. You can compel your friends and loved ones to celebrate Thurs. night straight through Sunday morning. That’s what I plan to do…per usual. I still get very excited about birthdays. What’s not to love about an occasion to celebrate, where everyone you care about feels obliged to make you feel special?
Fortunately, I already feel special. Hope you do too…on your birthday and always.

It’s a new week. I’m having trouble letting go of the weekend. I had too much sun & too much food and I’m paying for it today. This week it’s still so hot and we’ve got to spend most of it moving.
Love this look:
And this one…
And adore this one:

I am not, nor will I ever be blonde. But I think that’s one of the reasons why I love the ultra-light, bombshell hair color. Kate Bosworth always looks delightful. She is one of few that can pull off the ultra-platinum. Reese Witherspoon also looks fabulous with really light locks.
In my new bungalow, I’m planning to use the second bedroom as a “dressing room” as posted here. For some reason, all of the closets are doorless, so I’d like to set up a screen to close off the closet and provide a little changing area. I’m envisioning Rachel McAdams in Sherlock Holmes (here is the scene). Of course, lovely mirrored screens, like those found on 1stdibs are a bit out of price range. So, I might have to settle for something less dramatic. I’ve found a few lovelies on overstock. Thoughts? The room is sortof black and red, I haven’t decided whether or not to paint but the screen would be on the black side.
1-3 & 6 are 1stdibs but the rest are overstock! I’m leaning towards the faux croc screens (4 & 12).
Screens: one, two, three, four, five, six (I die), seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen
