{a brand new month, a brand new season}

"September: it was the most beautiful of words, he’d always felt, evoking orange-flowers, swallows, and regret."

- Alexander Theroux, 1981

......................................................................................................

. . . the only fleeting regrets being, perhaps, the end of late dinners on balmy rooftop terraces at sunset and hours dreamily slipping by at the beach -- but september has its own beautiful charms: dusky mornings and french press coffee, soft leather clutches and wide-legged jeans, socks & heels and chic belted trenches, and most of all, wool tartan blankets as the leaves fall . . .



happy september! wishing you sun-drenched days as summer falls away and wonderful things to look forward this autumn, roséline xo

{hello & tuesday musings}

. . . after spending yesterday afternoon at the beach, completely technology-free {as one should be when surrounded by sand, blue skies and magnificently crashing waves} due to a dead iphone battery, have been having a bit of a time getting back into all things work-related, especially since it is {unbelievably} already august and it feels as if, at any moment, summer could slip through our fingers . . .

Smitten with Summer (A Guest Post)

**

I'm over at Debby's today sharing a Smitten with Summer guest post.
Hop on over for a little dose of sunshine!

See you back here tomorrow with a recap of the weekend!

{summer inspiration: always the beach}

"At the beach, life is different. Time doesn't move hour to hour but mood to moment. We live by the currents, plan by the tides and follow the sun."

~ unknown

......................................................................................................

. . . there is a surf spray for your hair that promises "that salty, sexy, sun-dried, wind-styled feel" that comes from being in the ocean -- and while it does leave one's hair tousled and sexily wind-blown as promised, nothing can compare to the feeling of toes in the sand and saltwater kisses and that perfect feeling of all the time in the world . . .

Happy weekend, everyone!

Sending smiles and sunshine your way!

Cheers!

{colour inspiration: warm summer whites}

. . . a million and one wonderful things still left to do this week, business trips and summer weekends away, projects & plans and letters & emails . . . and so, a few moments to collect thoughts and get lost for a short while in late-spring things -- glossy pages to flip through, a box of chocolate truffles tied with ribbon, the sound of crashing waves and the beautiful silence of warm summer whites . . .

{p.s.} exciting news a little later
