Just perfection. Taking notes from @OH_BARDOT via Instagram.
Paper Whites & Il Pellicano
Two obsessions. Paper whites and my dream of one day making it to the 'Tuscan Dream' that is Il Pellicano.... Merry Merry!

Winter Trails
I've never been snowshoeing despite longing to for some time. It seems romantic in theory to traipse through a thick blanket of snow sounded by a winter forest, though I've heard it's quite the workout. I think these snowshoes would make a fun winter gift, even for those that might be a novice to the leisure sport. Shop here.
Kykuit
Dreaming of this cozy indoor setting at Kykuit, a historic site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation in Hudson Valley, NY. The landmark was home to four generations of the Rockefeller family, now an attraction known for its terraced gardens, 20th-century sculptures and a notorious barn housing collections of classic autos.

Les Bonbons
Drooling over these beauties! Handmade in India with 100% silk thread, there are a variety of colors in fun tropical shades - perfect to slip on with a caftan for cocktail hour. Love the Raspberry and Mint (above). Santa, baby! Shop here.
Putnum & Putnum
Loved leafing through the dreamy images of Michael Putnum's floral designs in Veranda's December 2015 publication. Putnum's designs are always romantic and look as if they were constructed with such ease. Above is a re-creation of a Federal-style mirror surrounded with bay and olive leaves. Antique delftware ginger jars flank it's base. For more of Putnum's designs, have a look here.
Simplicity
I love following Mimi Thorisson's idyllic life in the countryside of France. Her recent photograph of a vanilla ricotta cream dessert with chocolate sauce and orange zest (pictured above) caught my eye. Simple and a handsome sight for the eye... Get the recipe here.
