The Charlie, West Hollywood

The Gardener’s House
Walking across the stone filled path and into the main house through the main doors of the house, the extraordinary combinations of mid century furniture, range of fabrics & colour, quite literally blew my mind.
Palm Springs Art Museum

Perhaps it's because it's my birthday month, but i've always found May to be a little more magical than the other months. Here's what we're listening to during this blue skied, breezy month.
Waking up in Los Angeles
As the seasons change, I look to perfumes as a form of inspiration in deciding what I might want to wear, watch or do.
