Well we seem to have survived the first full week of the summer hols - just! Thank you for taking the time to stop by Elsa May - I hope you're enjoying your weekend and all is well in your neck of the woods. We're heading off to the coast in a bit, so I shall jump right into what:nots.
Ajne's exotic scents and intricate packaging.
Pomander, although technically a 'winter' candle I love it all year 'round.
Assouline's new book Polo, The Nomadic Tribe. Filled with history and possibly the most beautiful images ever by the uber-talented Aline Coquelle. Hope over here and have a look at Aline's images - !
Annie Leonard's book The Story of Stuff looks at our obsession with stuff and the difference between consumption and consumerism. A thought-provoking read.
Images from Agent Bauer, Ajne, Paperwink, Garance Dore, Laura Marling, Diptyque, Assouline, Aline Coquelle, and The Story of Stuff.
