{lookbook: greta fall | winter 2011}

{lookbook: sessùn automne-hiver 2011}

. . . and while it may still be a little early for chunky knits -- it is, after all, a brilliantly sunny september day -- there have, already, been a few cashmere mornings, and a few trench coat evenings, around and about, as the light begins to fade; and today, plans are beginning to fall into place for the moment, for next week, for the future . . .







{p.s.} previous sessùn: one | two | three

{lookbook: ulyana sergeenko, russia}

. . . exceptionally fond of wallpapered backgrounds {& wallpaper in general}, and add to that, 1950's styling, perfectly prim hair and coral lips, and one nearly misses the stunning debut fall/winter 2011 collection by russian photographer turned designer ulyana sergeenko in this beautiful lookbook -- the shimmery & sweeping turquoise tweed skirts paired with sexy sheer knits, and light-as-air ruffles & pleats paired with luxe velvet clutches and crimson heels are a perfect mix of naughty & nice . . .

{happy monday + a brand new week}

. . . hello! hope you had a wonderful weekend & it's lovely to see you again . . . dashing out the door {late!} for appointments and the flower markets, but first, a quick hello . . . and for the first time in a while, the happy chaos of the past exciting & busy weeks is subsiding {just a little}, and everything feels as if it were slowly becoming a little more organised and falling beautifully into place, and just in time, as the last part of summer always seems to be the busiest; the nights already feel a little cooler, and the mornings have a certain freshness, and there is a {nearly imperceptible} and altogether irresistible something new and adventurous in the air . . .



happy monday! hope your week is off to a perfect start,

roséline xo

{lookbook: frida gustavsson for h&m winter 2011}

. . . while at the shops last week, must confess, was a little distressed to already find fall shades of olive and rust, and so, was delighted to happen upon h&m's winter lookbook, filled with deliriously lovely autumn brights in beautiful hues of flax and cerise, white and dusky violet, deep turquoise and gold . . .

{lookbook: liu wen for j.crew}

. . . such fun to see liu wen in j.crew's latest lookbook, and in stripes, no less, as well as velvet city shorts, fitted blazers and wide-legged jeans, silk blouses and soft cardigans in the prettiest shade of pink . . .









{p.s.} also fun: jessica stam for j.crew

{lookbook: braøseweddå, vienna}

. . . it's only tuesday and already it feels as if things are whirling along at astonishing speeds -- what is it about summertime that makes it fly by so? . . . aside from work & projects, happily, this time of year is also positively filled with wonderful things, and vienna-based label braøseweddå's bonnie & clyde themed lookbook captures today's mood perfectly . . .

{p.s.} also new today: sophisticated seventies style

{have a romantic [long] weekend + links}

. . . this weekend has been filled with such lovely things -- strong coffee and frothy lattes, chocolate & banana crêpes at sunday brunch, and dinner at a favourite restaurant {for dessert: a warm chocolate brownie with peanut butter mousse and banana ice cream, sprinkled with peanuts, and drizzled with the most decadent caramel sauce}, conversations from oceans away and taxis in the rain, time at the shops {a new shimmery gold top} and long walks in the late-may sun, the strains of opera music in the background and just the two of us . . .

hope you're having a perfectly romantic {long} weekend & that it's beautiful where you are, roséline xo
