{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

Bright Red Lips

 (Images via The Wedding Chicks)

***

For those who know me well (and even those of you who only know me through my blog), you know how much I love bright lips. I personally don't think there's any better (or more glamorous) accessory a girl can throw on than a pop of color across her pout. I believe there's a flattering color out there for every stylish lady, you just have to look. And, really, what better way to make an entrance or catch someone's eye?! When I came across this breathtaking photo shoot I was instantly smitten. I imagine on my wedding day having bright lips (and nails) just like the beauties in these images.

Doesn't it make for some truly stunning photos?!

Swoon. . .

{hope you've had a beautiful weekend + links}

. . . last week was a wildly scattered & intensely busy collection of hours and days, but the weekend was decidedly more laid-back -- just as summer should be, and a most welcomed change indeed . . . there were films and popcorn and curling close, long walks and dinners outdoors and sun-soaked rooftops, cakes and cupcakes and billowy summer dresses, and most of all leafy, sun-dappled gardens and time for all the plans dancing about in daydreams . . .

hope you've had a summery, romantic weekend & that it was beautiful where you are, roséline xo

Pink and Green Thursday: Lovely Little Details

(Images via Style Me Pretty)

***

Happy Pink and Green Thursday, friends!

I'm happy to be back to the regular blogging schedule this week and linking up with Trish for another fabulous blog hop. As always, new bloggers are welcome to link up and share their favorite pink and green picks of the week!

This week I'm featuring the most charming English garden wedding a hopeless romantic (like myself) ever did see. As soon as I saw this gorgeous feature on Style Me Pretty (with the overflowing bouquets, sweet bunny rabbit, boxes of goodies for the children, ice cream cones, soft color palette, and candy bar) I knew that the lovely little details would be perfect for a Pink and Green Thursday.

Click over to the gallery to review all the beautiful images.
