{happy monday}

. . . hello again! . . . monday, monday, and after a perfect weekend of astonishingly spectacular autumn days -- romantic lunch dates and sun-soaked and golden trees, the still-lingering and intoxicating scent of freshly fallen leaves intermingled with warm apple crumble, it's back to work, although must confess quite adore the start of a new week, and this morning it's french coffee and sesame bagels fresh from the oven and many more beautifully inspiring things to come later in the day, but for now, dashing out the door, a little too chilly for leather shorts and heels, but perfect for a belted trench and high-heeled boots the colour of silver-lined clouds . . .

lovely to see you again & hope your week is off to a brilliant start,
xo

{p.s.} thanks so much for all the wonderful comments & e-mails over the weekend xoxo


{& one last thing:} if you've only just arrived, this week's give-away: the always stylish modern classic louis ghost armchair

{hope you had a summery, romantic weekend}

. . . always a little wistful at this time of year, as each passing day drenched in warm, golden rays draws us a little closer to summer's inevitable end . . . and so, this weekend was spend in the sunlight, in deep conversations and in candlelight, and in the space where daydreams and reality intermingle . . . and there are a million amazing projects and exciting new ventures and sometimes far too easy to get caught up in the excitement, and for this reason and from this moment, shall stop for a moment to catch a breath and remember to hold on to the last golden rays for as long as possible. . .

happy monday! hope you had a summery, romantic weekend, and that it was beautiful where you are, roséline xo

{lookbook: braøseweddå, vienna}

. . . it's only tuesday and already it feels as if things are whirling along at astonishing speeds -- what is it about summertime that makes it fly by so? . . . aside from work & projects, happily, this time of year is also positively filled with wonderful things, and vienna-based label braøseweddå's bonnie & clyde themed lookbook captures today's mood perfectly . . .

{p.s.} also new today: sophisticated seventies style

{spring things: kelly green bicycles}

. . . must confess, save for a few sunday afternoon trips a few summers ago, and only when lured with the romance of a picnic for two {complete with baguettes & brie and pink champagne}, am not often found on two wheels despite a fondness for bicycles . . . and yet, perhaps, this perfectly preppy kelly green handmade italian one, complete with a classic english leather seat and an ultra-chic essex scout bag {for holding fuchsia lipstick a few hairpins in the event of blustery spring breezes} may have just changed everything . . .

{a beautiful spring weekend + late-sunday links}

. . . the weather has been so astonishingly lovely, it is nearly impossibly not to be swept away by the blossom-scented breezes and glittering rays of sunlight . . . and this weekend was out-of-town guests and charming dinner conversations, luxuriously late mornings and sunday brunch {smoked salmon & scrambled eggs with chives, rosti, creamed horseradish & caviar} and time to fall in love all over again with every last moment along the way . . .

happy april! hope you've had a spectacular spring weekend & that it's beautiful where you are, roséline xo

{have a beautiful early november weekend}

. . . the plan was to [reluctantly] stow away the light & lovely dresses and pretty bed linens in favour of mohair, cashmere and italian wool; to unpack the heavy scottish tartan blanks for cosy evenings and to clear the closet of tiny shorts and flimsy tops for cable knit and tweed . . . but it has been sunny, sunny -- and perhaps, after a stroll amidst the fallen leaves, a stop for fish & chips, and a latte or two, perhaps then . . .

hope you're having a magical november weekend, and that it's beautiful where you are, roséline xo

{style inspiration: boyish charm}

. . . yesterday, late-monday afternoon, a dress and boots and camel coat, we, [p & i] took a little time out to take in an art fair, and on the way out the door, noticed his attire, dashing as ever in a chambray shirt and grey tweed blazer, and tan leather brogues, and thought again about perfect juxtapositions -- old & new and rustic & refined, modern & traditional, and city & country -- and so, to this unabashedly romantic and feminine place, shall add a little mix of boyish charm, just for p. . . .
