{runway inspiration: elie saab, paris}

. . . it's back to the sophisticated seventies on the runways of paris, shades of silver and shimmery apricot and flows of jersey and chiffon, a dusting of sequins and pretty platform sandals, and all through the exquisite eye of the always stunningly elegant elie saab . . .

{at the office: meetings & a quick hello}

. . . dashing out the door to meet a favourite cousin from out of town, but first, a quick hello, and as you may know, have been searching for inspiration for thursday's late lunch & meetings, and came across this lovely soft grey jersey wrap dress by marc for marc jacobs and completely fell for its perfect seventies style . . .

{p.s.} leaving you with two new things today:
* at the shops: ombré silver cocktail glasses
* classic summer style: past chloé, paris

hope you're having a wonderful week so far & à bientôt / see you soon,
roséline xo

{décor inspiration: 70's brass étagère}

. . . always exceptionally fond of sophisticated seventies style on the runways, but had never considered it at home until happening upon this beautiful brass étagère, that works as perfectly as a bar area for pimm's and glassware in the kitchen {above, before & top, after}, or as ingenious storage books and things in the office . . .

{runway inspiration: chloé, new york}

. . . intermingled with the more casual pieces of chambray and cotton, there were black sequins and whispery floral dresses, pretty bow blouses and deep coral pantsuits, fitted jackets, sheer skirts, impossibly elegant capelets, and all with that ever-present, always perfect sophisticated seventies air . . .
