The Hotel Hour & Lace in Daylight.

A room in London for an afternoon. Rain on the rooftops, tea going cold on the sill, and nowhere else to be. We take a hotel or a room with good morning light and make something of it.

The Hotel Hour.

A room in London for an afternoon. Mayfair, Bloomsbury or an unhurried corner of town. Tall windows, lamplight in the corners, and nowhere else to be.

Lace, in Daylight.

A quiet morning in a London flat. White sheets, a tall window, and the kind of light that does the work for you. This is the set I show first, because it is the one most women picture themselves in.
