{décor inspiration: let the leaves fall}

"It was one of those perfect English autumnal days which occur more frequently in memory than in life."

~P.D. James

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

. . . this morning, the sun shone brightly, an utterly perfect start to the weekend, and a perfect way to end the month and we're ready for whatever november brings, so long as there are cosy heather grey sweaters and burnt crimson, logs by the fire and gilded frames, a sprinkle of chocolate on our morning coffee -- and so -- from this moment on, let the leaves fall where they may . . .

{hope you're having a beautiful autumn weekend}

. . . a late brunch on a sunny sunday afternoon, and can hardly believe that already one week ago, was boarding a flight home from paris, and everything seems to have flown since -- the ten days away, the seven days home, the entire month of october, even . . . and so, from the rest of this enchanted sunday on, shall revel breathlessly in every last moment, even as the days fall soundlessly into night and the slanted pools of light become paler with each autumn morning . . . for today, there are places to visit and old friends to write, overflowing closets to organise, and glittery shoes with which to dance the night away . . .

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


{p.s.} on monday, to begin the week, the long-awaited photographs of our time away in the impossibly romantic cabin in the mountains -- can not wait to show you! x

{brand new at this is glamorous}

. . . and in between the unpacked suitcases and last-minute trips, overflowing inboxes and busy days at the office, the starry autumn nights in silvery shoes and champagne, there was time to dream up brand new and wonderful things . . . one of which, is below . . .

[exciting news after the jump] x

{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

{weekend links, on tuesday}

. . . and if there was ever any doubt that summer is the best time ever, this weekend would certainly change all views to the contrary -- there was saturday brunch on a leafy terrace {toad in the hole with mozzarella and prosciutto, and an elderflower mimosa}, sunday brunch on a balcony terrace {eggs benedict with lemon hollandaise sauce on a freshly baked croissant, and a bellini}, a film {the trip -- have you seen?}, a blanket & books in the park and vanilla coconut cupcakes, and most of all, many, many moments drenched in sunlight . . .

hope you had an impossibly beautiful weekend, and that your week is off to a perfect start, roséline xo

{a new week + notes from the weekend}

. . . a very late but warm hello! it's lovely to see you again . . . this weekend was miles and miles of sunshine, some time at the shops and a new pair of perfectly chic suede summer sandals with gilded clasps; long walks at sunset and a saturday night film {bill cunningham new york -- [have you seen? so good]} with buttery popcorn; scented candles in the evening and strong coffee in the mornings, a table for two high above the world, with utterly breathtaking views of the city, and gardens overflowing with the intoxicating scent of white lilacs and sweet-smelling secret bunches of lilies of the valley . . .

happy monday! hope you had a beautiful weekend filled with little moments of repose & that your week is off to a perfect start, roséline xo
