{hope you're having a beautiful weekend}

. . . by the time you read this message, it will be many cups of coffee later, and well on our way out of town to new york for fashion week, having awoken at an impossible hour and caught a glimpse of the most spectacular september sunrise, the clouds an indescribably breathtaking and vibrant shade of pinkish-coral and lined in silver, and there will be fashion week events and breakfast meetings, long-overdue appointments and afternoon shows, cocktail dresses for 6pm soirées and can not wait to tell you!

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

{monday, monday . . .}

hello again! . . . monday, monday, and must confess, still a little in a haze of happiness from the weekend, which may have actually begun last thursday, after taking a little time away from work {was such a stunning near-summer's day} for a very late lunch that lingered so, for an art gallery and {the most charming} vintage shop, and of course, for gelato {three scoops}; and this weekend was an astonishingly lovely whirl of sunshine and blossoms, brunches and antique shops and much needed time away from all things online, the french open and afternoon strolls in the gardens . . . and now, with weekend carryalls still packed from the countryside, a brand new week and back to work . . .

happy monday! hope that you had a beautiful weekend & that your week is off to a perfect start, roséline xo

{two lovely things: all that glitters}

. . . always an affinity for glittery things -- sequins in the morning, chandeliers and gilded chairs, and so, easily fell for this pretty tray {a similar one sits on the counter and is filled with bouquets of spring roses}, and most of all, the thought of metallic gold for the powder room -- how could mornings ever be more elegant than sunrise and gold tiles?

{travel inspiration: the south of france}

. . . if you ever find yourself in the south of france, be certain to visit the chateau la durantie . . .

built in 1845 for the duke of isly, the astonishingly romantic chateau is located in perigord vert, a beautiful and tranquil part of dordogne, southwest france, and is filled arched windows and juliet balconies, glittering chandeliers and canopy beds, luxurious marble baths and italian bedlinens, while outdoors, twelve acres of perfectly manicured grounds, swimming pool, tennis court and orchards . . . and already there are thoughts of sparkling holiday parties by the beautifully ornate fireplaces on chilly nights or an enchanting weekend away . . .
