{hope you've had a beautiful weekend + links}

. . . last week was a wildly scattered & intensely busy collection of hours and days, but the weekend was decidedly more laid-back -- just as summer should be, and a most welcomed change indeed . . . there were films and popcorn and curling close, long walks and dinners outdoors and sun-soaked rooftops, cakes and cupcakes and billowy summer dresses, and most of all leafy, sun-dappled gardens and time for all the plans dancing about in daydreams . . .

hope you've had a summery, romantic weekend & that it was beautiful where you are, roséline xo

{at home with : aerin lauder, aspen, colorado}

. . . always and eternally in love with summer, and while others are gliding gracefully down the mountain side, am normally the one sitting prettily by the fire, wrapped in cashmere and sipping brandy or hot chocolate with marshmallows, waiting for summer's return, and dreaming of warmer climates to see out the long wintry months ahead; of course, winter's chilly days would be no match if spent gazing out the enormous picture windows at the spectacular views outside of aerin lauder's aspen ski chalet among the silver birches, with its reclaimed cypress boards and wire-brushed oak, white walls and bed linens, cosy reading corners and floods and floods of light . . .











{p.s.} also interesting : the interior designer for the chalet was daniel romualdez, who also designed the tory burch boutique, on madison, featured here a few weeks ago -- interesting to compare the two vastly different styles
