Eye Swoon: 6 Things That Took My Breath Away

{ Via Camilla }

 Trying something new this Monday. I am calling it Eye Swoon. To me the word swoon, means to take your breath away. The dictionary describes it as becoming very excited about someone or something.  All of these swoon worthy images left me speechless. I hope that they inspire and excite you, too. The good news is that they all can be yours.

 The Botanist Vanity Case

Isn't this the prettiest? My Mother always had a vanity case for travel, but it didn't look like this. Just imagine yourself arriving by private plane to The Four Seasons Bora Bora. You are checking in and enjoying your welcome drinks. The entire website is on sale up to 40%. Each style of luggage is vintage inspired and fabulous!
