A white affair

Everybody is talking about the approaching autumn. I refuse even to think of it. I haven’t had enough of summer. Not in the least. So I turn once again to the colour that defines this season: white. And to Ralph Lauren’s collection, most of all to the soft and feminine silhouettes to glide through these precious days of summer: breezy whites, hand-crocheted dresses, delicate floral pleats, rich accessories and intricate jewelry, spectacular silver high heels ( aren’t those heels something to dream about?). I’ve always had an affinity for Ralph Lauren, for his modern classic style he’s been perfecting for more than four decades.

    I don’t want to think about autumn either, although today does feel like Fall, with the rain and clouds and need for comforting coffee on a sofa. And you are so right, darling – we haven’t had a proper summer yet to start planning autumn activities including fashions. Lets celebrate the summer or, at least, whatever is left of it. 😀
    Loving the photos here very much. Saved the bathroom in my inspirations file and also feel totally smitten by the beauty of that architectural gorgeous heel! Frankly, I’m pretty sure I’d like the front of those shoes, too. 🙂
    Have a wonderful day, sweetie!

    I’m with you Ada, I refuse to even acknowledge autumn’s existence! This is a beautiful post that has me clinging onto summer for dear life! I am coveting every single dress in this post (particularly the last dress)!

    I’m 50/50. I’m semi-looking forward to the oranges of Fall and semi-wanting to stay in the blue of Summer. This may have convinced me to bask in the simplicity of summer for a little longer..

    P.S. Thanks for your comment on my blog. The book was just recently released.. if you’ve already read it, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did 🙂

      @ Marjorie Rose
      I just happened to read your comment again, with a little delay, and OMG, what a mistake I have made! I have completely mistaken the book for another one. Thanks for the heads up. I guess I’ll have to read it and come with an appropriate opinion. 🙂

    I am so with you! I can’t bear to think about Fall already and I’m actually surprised at how many blogs I see that are already talking about it! I haven’t had my fill of summer yet. This lovely season is always ends too soon.

    I love these images you’ve selected. That bathroom is dreamiest room ever.

    I’m completely with you on not wanting to think about Fall and about Ralph Lauren and his beautiful style. Gorgeous post. A few of the images are in my files too, but that comes as no surprise;)

    All these images are lovely and refreshing. How would I love to have a Mediterranean summer house that looked like the top two images!

    Hello, Ada, dear! Thank you for all your wonderful comments while I was away. 🙂
    And I am so with you – I am not even close to being ready for autumn. And this particular collection of Ralph Lauren’s was so gorgeous – I watched the runway show about 3 times. Thank you for this lovely post. xo – g
