When Grey isn't boring...

This post is for those who, like me, are hardly tearing themselves away from weekend bliss or ... can't wait for a long weekend retreat (and it's just around the corner!), no matter what the weather! ツ While we are not far away yet from the colour grey (as prevailed in my previous post), i'd like continue (& finish) the theme with these 'bright' ideas on how to get the most out of the cool-and-cloudy behind the window.
First, just have a look at this lovely balcony! I don't know why it keeps me charmed (no special design and little accessories), but this is such a harmonius place, just perfect in its cozy simplicity! [all pics posted below are from Tumblr unless stated otherwise]
Oh, please listen to UNA MATTINA album by LUDOVICO EINAUDI while you are here! :)  Soft piano melodies[1:14:26], so good to play on a cloudy day!
↑ Well, i decided the post should not only look attractive, but be useful as well. So, inspired by the pic below, I've found a lovely recipe of BLACKBERRY, MARSHMELLOW & MASCARPONE TRIFLES @ DELICIOUSMAGAZINE.CO.UK

i am spotting there is a title seen on one bottle - Gypsy Water. Not new though, as i have guessed, -- launched in 2008, Gypsy Water is described as a tribute to the Gypsy lifestyle! top notes are bergamot, lemon, pepper and juniper; middle notes are incense, pine needles and orris root; base notes are amber, vanilla and sandalwood. Intrigued? Another bottle next to Gypsy Water-- Bal D'Afrique. Needless to say i'm looking forward for both!! Both perfumes - 50ml/$145 e.g. @ BARNEYS here/here.

↑ Ah, the picture itself says it all! Though... i'd add books & magz, for sure, to such a sweet busy morning recreation! ;) [source: tumblr]

↑ ...no matter whether in bed or on the table, the serving should be exquisite!
