Rose Cumming and Her Lavender Boudoir

Blogs are already an important (and free!) source of inspiration and information and will only become more and more significant in deciphering future codes in fashion, design and lifestyle. From time to time, Hall Five will be highlighting some of what we consider to be the best of the best.
Starting today with Little Augury  (a.k.a. P. Gaye Tapp) whose profile says,

I have been an interior designer for over 25 years & have had an abiding passion for art, history and fashion. Little Augury was born in 2008 on New Year’s Eve. It began as a way of continuing a conversation with a beloved mentor and a promise to keep just a bit of his wit and wisdom alive by sharing it whenever possible. Little Augury focuses on interior design, art and fashion with an eye on the past, in the hope of understanding what is current and what is next.

Many of the blog posts are grouped and one of the recurring themes is A Lavender State of Mind which I absolutely love. Here are some more wonderfully evocative images.
