Fashion Toast, La Douleur Exquise, For Stars Will Rise Again

I know I just did a photography post, but I have come across so many beautiful pictures in the past few days that I cannot help but share them. La Douleur Exquise has the most gorgeous collection of photographs I have ever seen, in all seriousness.

And the songs. I tend to make playlists for each season, so here is my autumn music. Some new things, some old things, a little more serious than my summer tracks, a little more painfully lovely. I hope you know or listen to at least a bit of it, and if not, then I hope you have your own music that makes you feel as comforted and inspired as all this music makes me feel.

I am just bursting right now. There are so many beautiful things in the world. Photographs, music, seasons, books, stars, poetry, people... it all makes me happy to be alive.
