{back again & a brand new week}

. . . and after traipsing about in lyon, geneva, annecy & paris for the past ten days, long-lost family and some seen only recently, grainy old photographs, conversations in french, red wine and happy memories, and after only a day back again with cases still unpacked and so much to catch up on, it's monday, monday and very much back to work, on a brand new week positively filled with beautiful things: a new {favourite five}, as well as the second installment of {take me a way}, sarah's new travel series, and of course, a million photographs from recent travels, near & far, but first, a glimpse at the mountain lodge from a few weeks past . . .

happy monday! it's lovely to see you again -- hope you had a beautiful weekend & that your week is off to a perfect start, roséline xo

{farewell elizabeth taylor}

. . . the fondest farewell to one of the most beautiful women in the world, and one of the last of the great hollywood icons . . .

{style inspiration: beribboned}

. . . have been stepping out, lately, with a long metallic gold leather sash in place of a belt, cinched around a camel wool & cashmere coat, and so, was delighted to happen across a similar look recently: a length of gold satin ribbon, tied in a bow, and cinched around a classic trench -- such a pretty alternative to a belt, don't you think?
