{two lovely things: perfectly mismatched}

. . . two sinks, side by side -- his & hers -- a chrome and glass cocktail table as a shelf for perfume and hair pins, and perfectly mismatch mirrors before the busy-ness of the day begins . . .


{p.s.} if you're looking for us, we {p. & i} have traded in the hustle & bustle of the city for a place in front of the fire, in an impossibly romantic log cabin in the mountains, with very spotty internet access, a million miles from everything x

{monday, monday . . .}

hello again! . . . monday, monday, and must confess, still a little in a haze of happiness from the weekend, which may have actually begun last thursday, after taking a little time away from work {was such a stunning near-summer's day} for a very late lunch that lingered so, for an art gallery and {the most charming} vintage shop, and of course, for gelato {three scoops}; and this weekend was an astonishingly lovely whirl of sunshine and blossoms, brunches and antique shops and much needed time away from all things online, the french open and afternoon strolls in the gardens . . . and now, with weekend carryalls still packed from the countryside, a brand new week and back to work . . .

happy monday! hope that you had a beautiful weekend & that your week is off to a perfect start, roséline xo

{travel inspiration: the south of france}

. . . if you ever find yourself in the south of france, be certain to visit the chateau la durantie . . .

built in 1845 for the duke of isly, the astonishingly romantic chateau is located in perigord vert, a beautiful and tranquil part of dordogne, southwest france, and is filled arched windows and juliet balconies, glittering chandeliers and canopy beds, luxurious marble baths and italian bedlinens, while outdoors, twelve acres of perfectly manicured grounds, swimming pool, tennis court and orchards . . . and already there are thoughts of sparkling holiday parties by the beautifully ornate fireplaces on chilly nights or an enchanting weekend away . . .
