Lx.Lnx | Cleopatra's Hue

What am I thinking, you ask? Lately intense, plummy violets seem to be calling my name, most of all as in this photo (in my daydreams, it is the only thing in my apartment and a nice low murmur). As does a weekend in Istanbul. Or is it somewhere else entirely? And when do we mean it?

One of my favorite memories is doing the crossword on a train once. In the one slightly embellished by fantasy, I do it in this dress. And of course the right accessories always make the outfit. At least from the neck down. No need to speak softly when you can say it with gold. The best thing I learned today? "Philippa" means lover of horses. But which ones?
