Paris fashion week stunningly embellished sheer décolleté, tulle and organza flowers, piled at the shoulder and tied with grosgrain at the waist, in a world of glamour and fairytales in romantic shades of dark salmon and silver, sweet make-up and classic chignons, for the latest spring couture collection of the always ethereal, utterly breathtaking elie saab.

A little astonishing how quickly the time has flown, and after a wonderfully busy week, spending another winter weekend in a little celebration and a little lounging about. Whatever plans you may have wherever you may be, wishing you an enchanting beautiful weekend.

And while we’re on the topic of spring, one of the best things about mid-winter is the anticipation for ad campaigns and spring collections – shades of taupe and revival of spring whites, and ornate flowers and pretty pleats, in sophisticated grace, light spirits and perfectly tousled hair.

Charming blossoms and lavish tulle, espresso cups and boxes of dior elegance, pretty pleats and delicate draping, and always chanel nº5 – evenings are beginning to arrive later, and the longing for luxuriously warm spring and deliriously lovely shades of dusky pink.

Completely whisked away by the grandeur and light of quite possibly the most romantic ever, katie lee’s four-story 4000 sq ft manhattan townhouse, including 3/4 bedrooms, 4 baths, 4 fireplaces, an elevator, and a landscaped garden. In 2006, totally renovated by architect Ahmad Sardar-Afkami and decorated by Nate Berkus, utterly filled with a charming mix of old world glamour and modern furniture, with perfectly elegant details as gilded mirrors, antiqued gold-leafing, gold velvet, glittering chandeliers, a perfectly polished mirrored dresser, and match-booked marble detailing.
