The Beat That My Heart Skipped – A blog dedicated to daily design inspirations. By Rohini Wahi.

September has snuck up on us so stealthily! How did that happen??? However grim, that snuggly autumnal feeling has invaded my conscious and I find myself watching atmospheric Victorian dramas on TV – Desperate Romantics, Wuthering Heights…reading deliciously dark books that require the accompaniment of endless pots of tea…

So it is no surprise that my September trend seems to be influenced by characterful curios resonant of a more sombre time but humorously so. September I embrace you! (However, I find myself in the dusty Nevada desert at the end of this month…completely putting a spanner in the works for mentally adjusting to a Dickensian winter!)

Happy April 1st! I am commencing this month with a collection of things that move me – and will try and do so the first of every month. I like the regularity of some blogs i’ve been seeing lately and as well as random musings, I think everyone needs a little routine!
