Happy Halloween friends! If I had my way I’d invite you all to a fabulously spooky dinner party seated at this candlelit table. And if I had my way it would not cost $38 to buy a pumpkin here in Sydney. But alas, I saved my pennies and went without a pumpkin this year. And we’ll just have to admire and take note of the beautiful bottle candle holders for future use. West Elm is selling a similar version in green here, but I’m inclined to think a diy is in order.
My friend Marisa once told me she likes to wear pretty sundresses to do chores – it makes grocery shopping all the less mundane. I loved the idea and I want to start putting it into practice (if not dresses then at the very least some lipstick)! And besides, we could all use a bit more glamour in our lives, right? Here’s an editorial to get us into the spirit of things.

As excited as I am that summer is finally on its way, I’m also bummed that I don’t get to take part in the aviator trend for 2. whole. seasons. The shearling just looks soo inviting, don’t you think?
For now I’ll just have to make do with dark lipstick experimentation. Any suggestions?
Looking to add some color to my living room with some art or a new end table. Right now I’m loving metallic finishes and rich colors on a neutral backdrop. Just bought some silver lamp shades for my blue lamps – baby steps.
I know acquiring home accessories over a long period of time is the tried and true method, but don’t you just wish you could snap your fingers and have this?
Take me away, to Saint Tropez. What’s that you say? But Cristina you just got back from a 2 week vacation? Pfff. Watch this video and then we’ll talk.
Things to note: Garance has my dream bag, the French language is impossibly cool, Leigh Lezark is still my hair idol, and my life will not be complete until I play bocce with Karl Lagerfeld
p.s. my latest post is up here on coco+kelley!
