{colour inspiration: shades of denim}

. . . hello, again! it's lovely to see you -- currently writing from a cosy seat in front of the fire, in a spectacular lodge of warm, time-worn wood, elegant floor coverings and tartan sofas, and our beautiful two-day stay here has come to a close on this blustery, sunny friday, and after spending yesterday afternoon sipping champagne in a stunning handcrafted mahogany boat [a hacker craft, for those who know their boats] in a favourite pair of wide-legged jeans and trench, was reminded of how nautical inspiration moves perfectly from hazy summer mornings to crisp autumn days . . .

{p.s.} regular posting shall resume next week & there is so much to tell you! x

{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

{style inspiration: perfect platforms}

. . . a new pair of white strappy summer wedges earlier last week, for traipsing about town and blossom-laden walks with the dog, the third pair of wedges already this spring, and summer has yet to begin, and yet, after happening across these utterly charming prada platforms {above}, perfectly paired with pressed trousers turned in an ultra-chic french cuff in the most enchanting shade of august sunrise, am becoming quite smitten with platforms and their teetering heights and already imagine them with romantically flirty & lacy summer dresses for quiet lunch dates on cobbled terraces surrounded by spring flower boxes of pussy willows and daffodils . . .

{style inspiration: beautiful details}

. . . can never get enough of detail shots {an all-time favourite being this one}, and whether soft leather gloves and geometric bangles, french structured handbags and gold vintage watches, there is something about the intermingling of these beautiful little details that seems to say so much . . .

{p.s.} & while we're on the topic of clutches, day & night
