Instant Elegance

leave perfume sample-paper inside your notebook 

use gallery tickets as bookmarks

choose reading your book over being on your phone

keep your hands moisturized and your nails neat

vow to learn something new every day 

turn your phone on ‘do not disturb’ when you are with people

drape a scarf over your shoulders at the cafe or library

“Yet when we came back, late, from the hyacinth garden, Your arms full, and your hair wet, I could not Speak, and my eyes failed, I was neither Living nor dead, and I knew nothing, Looking into the heart of light, the silence.”

“This is what you do on your very first day in Paris. You get yourself, not a drizzle, but some honest-to-goodness rain, and you find yourself someone really nice and drive her through the Bois de Boulogne in a taxi. The rain’s very important. That’s when Paris smells its sweetest.”

— Sabrina (1954), dir. Billy Wilder. ♡
