Here are my latest finds and news from fashion, style, film, design and beautiful living.
As February unfolds, I am getting excited about the arrival of spring that doesn’t feel so far away anymore. Among other little joys, like catching up on my sleep, watching the NYFW collections and maybe go see a movie at the cinema (Lincoln has finally arrived) this weekend, I am also planning to bring home a huge bunch of snowdrops from the flower shop. Isn’t this older Aquascutum ad campaign photographed by Tim Walker beautiful? I’m counting the days until when I’ll be able to wear my trench coats again.

I am really looking forward to spring and all the wonderful things that come with it, too. Always loved the first and last photos from this campaign – very classy/classic. Have a wonderful day and great weekend, Ada! x
The ad campaign is just lovely and I so enjoyed the interview with Lee Radziwill. I wouldn’t mind sitting next to her at a dinner party!
I adore those Paris traveller prints! Have a wonderful weekend Ada xx
Gorgeous photographs, wow! Love the French bistro inspired kitchen.
These are some amazing illustrations to frame, Ada! Always Paris. I did not see this editorial, such a lovely one. Have a wonderful weekend! :*
Hi Ada! I’m so glad that we’re this far into winter and you’re right, maybe spring isn’t that far off after all! Thanks for the great links … ooh, the french bistro kitchen! Hope all is well at your end of the world, I’ve been insanely busy. Can’t really even believe it’s February! Have a great weekend, sweet. xo ~S

i am so very excited for the spring. i think the weather has taken a tiny turn here too. it’s not getting colder at least. i love the downton meets downton, amazing likeness in the paintings!
Oh those illustrations of Michelle Dockery by David Downton are exquisite!! I love Tim Walker editorials – and this one is fantastic. I’ll have to read the Lee Radziwill conversation later (sounds intriguing!). PS: I just watched the series premiere of Downton tonight and just love watching ‘Lady Mary’ – she is stunning (albeit thin!)
Hope you’re having a great weekend Ada x
