{happy all hallow's eve}

. . . a more luxuriously low-key weekend would not have been possible, for this time, [and the first in quite some time], there were no set plans, travel or otherwise -- only half-thoughts, whims & fancies, all fallen by the wayside, in favour of easy mornings and elegant dinners, the blustery romance of autumn at every turn and candlelight against dark windowpanes on early evenings, and later, ambling walks, leather boots and leaves, long cashmere scarves and very warm thoughts . . .

hope you've had a magical late-october weekend, and that it's beautiful where you are, roséline xo

{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

{eco chic: vintage wedding dresses}

. . . adore the idea of wearing a vintage wedding dress for traipsing about on a summer's day -- this one is from the 30's -- add a vintage coach bag and a pair of manolo's and you're set . . .

{have a magical weekend + links}

. . . the midst of one of the most perfectly relaxing weekends in forever, the carryalls have remained unpacked and staying in the city instead of the usual drive away, and so far, there have been luxuriously long and late dinners, lattes and brunches and afternoons at the shops, candlelit conversations and cozy, cozy nights and there's still all of sunday . . .

hope you're having a perfectly magical weekend & that it's beautiful where you are, ~ roséline xo
