{colour inspiration: autumn greens & golds}

. . . monday comes in shades of green & gold -- westminster and huntington, chardonnay and woodside moss -- and even while there are overcast skies, and soon, the last of the fallen leaves, there is the warmth of these elegant and regal hues, and along with them, a certain anticipation of things to come, or perhaps the anticipation could be attributed to the start of a new week and so many beautiful things to look forward to in the days and weeks ahead . . .

{have a glamorous weekend + links}

. . . the weekend began with a cocktail called starlight, dinner for two and peach, olive oil & rosemary upside down cake with vanilla ice cream & poached farm peaches & pistachio for dessert, a decadently late and leisurely saturday morning, chandeliers at nightfall and a charming local pub, the impossible romance of the rain against the window panes, and most of all, the thought that it has only just begun . . .

wherever you may be, hope you're having a beautiful weekend,

{décor inspiration: tray chic}

. . . at this moment, there are perfume bottles scattered prettily about everywhere -- on the dresser, on the vanity, even on the desk, amongst pretty notepaper and fountain pens . . . and have always loved the way a simple tray, whether square or circular, gold or silver, can transform a few pretty bottles into a beautiful display; add venetian glass and deep emerald & onyx-hued marble, a bouquet of delicate peonies, and what could be lovelier?

{p.s.} another way to display perfume collections

. . . this note began in a lovely little place just before dinner, a glass of wine and a dashing companion, and this weekend has been a dream-filled tumble of lovely things: friday evening dinner {a delectable shrimp & crab salad made of butter lettuce, chives, cherry tomatoes, and avocado}, terraces and {perfectly ghastly} eighties films, fluttery silk dresses and shimmery bare golden shoulders, morning walks and easy conversations, late, late nights and summer stars . . .

hope you've had an astonishingly wonderful weekend and that it was beautiful where you are, roséline xo

{style inspiration: his & hers}

. . . and after unexpectedly falling for a decidedly masculine black leather sofa a few weeks ago, {juxtaposed, to be certain, against crisp whites and a perfectly ornate mirror}, have been thinking about notions of masculinity and femininity recently, how they interrelate, and most of all, how they can intermingle to create something altogether new and utterly beautiful . . .



















{p.s.} also, first there were the ipad cases, then the charmingly chic luggage tags, and now, also from from etsy, this {fifth from top} impossibly lovely hand-stitched doctor's bag/carry on . . .

{bastille day | la fête nationale}

. . . sincerest apologies for the rather sporadic posting this week -- a mad, mad dash kind of day, and a quick stop to say hello and to wish family & friends, as always, in paris and the south of france {especially}, bonne fête de la bastille / happy bastille day!

à bientôt j'espère‎ & more lovely things soon,
roséline xo

{p.s.} [also, a little behind on emails]



























{& one last thing:} past bastille day celebrations:
* macarons
