I love outdoor lighting and these are some of my favourite images....
....candles in jamjars, lights in paper bags, hanging lights, hurricane lanterns....
....so simple....yet they create something romantic, special and magical....
....they win my heart every time....

Thank you for all the great comments about my new bag....I will take a photograph of it but might have to wait a few days/or until Paris since my camera is currently receiving some TLC at the camera shop :)
Happy Wednesday!
I love lights outdoors, so romantic and dreamy. My fav is the last but also that gorgeous shot 5th from last.
ReplyDeleteAhh Paris, not long now!
xoxo
Simone,
ReplyDeleteFabulous!!! Like you, I love outdoor lighting. My purchasing of lanterns has become a joke with my family. My collection includes all styles and sizes. Beautiful post! Rita
Beautiful Simone, you could not have captured it more perfectly!

ReplyDeleteSimone, the Las Hadas photo is fabulous, the place is so beautiful. But the little square crystal "chandelier" is my fav. Isn't it amazing what brilliant & creative people can accomplish with just a bit of time. Have a splendid time in Paris. xx's Marsha

HI Simone
ReplyDeleteAnd Santorini wins by a landslide.. haha.. just doesn't seem fair to all the other gorgeous images..have a great week xx Julie
Oh my goodness...this is a feast! How do you do it, with each and every post?!
ReplyDeleteI have a question - how do the couple on the little jetty out at sea get there? A suitably lit row boat?! Each image is just magical...makes me want to...well...live a more romantic life than the one I do! What will we do when you are away in Paris Simone?! LB x
I am so glad candles were invented!! And sitting on that beach would be so romantic! Have a nice day, Simone!!!
ReplyDeleteOh I adore this post. I am a huge fan of lighting, I think that ambience is so important in creating a magical atmosphere and I must say that you always find the most gorgeous and inspiring photos! They are ALL beautiful but the 2nd and 8th photo really took my breath away, wow!!!

Dear Simone,
ReplyDeleteThese gorgeous lights just add the most magical touch to a setting, don't they ?
Absolutely beautiful images giving the most wonderful atmosphere. ...that chandelier, the first one, is GORGEOUS.
Can't believe this weather and we are going to Scotland for a couple of days in a couple of weeks. I hope it warms up by then
Are you getting excited about your trip ? I'm sure your camera will be better by then !!!! XXXX
Oh so dreamy ...
ReplyDeleteThanks for making my day Simone.
They are all incredible images, but I agree with Julie ... yes, Santorini !!!
I bet you cant wait to get to Paris. We decided to duck across (last minute, mind you) for the easter weekend. We are taking the girls to the Palace of Versailles ... cant wait for Friday!
hugs and xxx
Love these! especially the city in the last image...
ReplyDeleteHope your week is lovely so far.
All of these lights are beautiful ~ that chandelier is stunning! You have chosen a couple of my favorites as well. Can't wait to see a picture of your new crush too! Have a wonderful day my friend. xo
ReplyDeleteIn Love... could I make a reservation at photo number one please... :)
ReplyDeleteMikal
I can see you have favourite pictures!! (So do I). And another thing I don't think you've mentioned: that sort of light is sooo flattering. Your skin glows, your eyes sparkle...
ReplyDeleteLovely post, as usual.

Oh I just love your blog. Beautiful images, good for prompting daydreams! I might have to put some fairy lights up in my garden this weekend to create the ambiance! xxx Claire
ReplyDeleteThis is my absolute fave thing - hang out outdoors in the evening with beautiful weather and candles or with fairy lights with friends and family!
ReplyDeleteWe have had some beautiful weather this week, but heading into a few days rain...hopefully by the weekend it will be sunny again!
Sunshine & Smiles sent your way, Simone! xxoo :)
This brings back memories of our last trip. Time to plan another vacation! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear you have enjoyed your facial. And you used to live on Heath Street? Hampstead is one of my absolute favourite neighbourhoods. The Horseshoe Pub was our hangout of choice.

Such gorgeous, gorgeous images. I can't wait until I am able to visit Santorini again.
ReplyDeletei love this, every picture is so romantic and beautiful:)
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever seen lights in paper bags until now. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteNow I am dreaming of far off places, warm air in the evenings, sitting outside until late at night and enjoying life to the full. Thanks for these.
ReplyDeleteI Love your pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteSusan
My goodness, so phenomenally romantic! wow, love.
ReplyDeleteI'm new to your blog, and I have to say these photos are stunning! Thanks so much for sharing
ReplyDeleteoh my. there are so many good ideas here.... I cannot get over the candles in the sand. brilliant.
ReplyDeleteSimone, you are some sort of outdoor lighting savant aren't you? If you were on MasterMind, that would be your area of expertise perhaps? I love that about you! When I picture you in my mind's eye, I always imagine you surrounded by fairy lights. So purty.
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, I will think of you while you're away, sashaying down the streets of Paris, burnt-orange, Ted Baker handbag by your side, head angled ever so elegantly as you head into your next boutique or cafe.
I hope you and your lovely ones have a gorgeous Easter and that the Easter bunny hippity hops ever so generously in your household. Meredy xo.
I loved each one of these beautiful pics. I have a dream of someday having a special dinner out under a candlelit tree like that. It's all so dreamy and magical:)
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are just beautiful, all of them!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous pics - they are inspirational!
ReplyDeleteI so share your love of lights. Indoors or outdoors, I surround myself with them.
ReplyDeleteYou don't know me very well - I read your blog daily, but seldom comment.
I have just nominated you for an award, which I hope you'll accept.
When you have a moe, please pop over to my blog and pick it up.
