Monochromatic Monday :: Wild Rose

As much as I love urban life, there’s definitely a part of me that dreams of waking up each day in the English countryside, enjoying my scones & tea in a garden that’s overflowing with roses, ivy and crumbling stone walls that have been around for hundreds of years. Kind of like this…wildly romantic, isn’t it? I’d love to bring a taste of the Cotswalds to a stateside garden party this summer, designed in shades of rosy pinks and ivy greens and dripping with floral touches at every turn. Delicate china, grapefruit-mint cocktails and a couldn’t-be-girlier cake make the perfect starting point for a late-June bridal shower or brunch, don’t you think? I’m off to NYC this morning for a whirlwind 48-hours of meetings…and I have a feeling I may be dreaming of secret gardens amidst all that concrete! Hope you all have a lovely start to the week! xx
