This week we are having some fun with eyelet. We all know eyelet as a summer classic, especially in white, but it has become particularly fresh and modern this year. Today's take was inspired by the March Vogue spread, 'Light Brigade,' a stunning shoot. Our location is not quite as picturesque, but we like how the layered, opaque black contasts with the translucent, feminine white. We brought along ABC Dream, our absolute favorite alphabet book. This edition is gorgeously illustrated in simple black and white. Every time we read this book we discover a new detail. We think the pages would also make great framed artwork in a children's room.
