In Motion

***

It's been such a busy week.
Sometimes, I just need a little reminder to slow down and be thankful for what's going right, instead of complaining about what's not.

Today, I'm stepping away from all the motions and saying thank you for. . .


Waking up this morning
Having a coworker bring homemade biscuits for breakfast
The rain that is sure to come
A colorful scarf to brighten the rainy day
A long talk with my mom on the drive to work
Hearing I love you everyday from someone who makes my heart nearly burst

{happy monday}

. . . hello again! . . . monday, monday, and after a perfect weekend of astonishingly spectacular autumn days -- romantic lunch dates and sun-soaked and golden trees, the still-lingering and intoxicating scent of freshly fallen leaves intermingled with warm apple crumble, it's back to work, although must confess quite adore the start of a new week, and this morning it's french coffee and sesame bagels fresh from the oven and many more beautifully inspiring things to come later in the day, but for now, dashing out the door, a little too chilly for leather shorts and heels, but perfect for a belted trench and high-heeled boots the colour of silver-lined clouds . . .

lovely to see you again & hope your week is off to a brilliant start,
xo

{p.s.} thanks so much for all the wonderful comments & e-mails over the weekend xoxo


{& one last thing:} if you've only just arrived, this week's give-away: the always stylish modern classic louis ghost armchair

{back again & a brand new week}

. . . and after traipsing about in lyon, geneva, annecy & paris for the past ten days, long-lost family and some seen only recently, grainy old photographs, conversations in french, red wine and happy memories, and after only a day back again with cases still unpacked and so much to catch up on, it's monday, monday and very much back to work, on a brand new week positively filled with beautiful things: a new {favourite five}, as well as the second installment of {take me a way}, sarah's new travel series, and of course, a million photographs from recent travels, near & far, but first, a glimpse at the mountain lodge from a few weeks past . . .

happy monday! it's lovely to see you again -- hope you had a beautiful weekend & that your week is off to a perfect start, roséline xo



{images: pretty stuff}

{happy autumn + have a beautiful weekend}

. . . and it would seem that september whirled by more quickly than the rest, and suddenly, it is autumn, and as promised, have been adding dashes of white, here & there, for just a few moments longer, at least until the leaves begin to fall, [although must confess, beginning to fall in love with the thought of cosy sweaters and romantic nights by the fire], and while things may have been happily filled with busy-ness the past few weeks, this weekend has been a perfect change of pace, filled with sunshine and saturday markets, and today, perhaps brunch, the flower markets and a walk along the water . . .

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

{hello + a few updates . . .}

. . . as the week's posts have been sporadic at best, thought it might be a little easier, [especially if you are just arriving], to include the events of the [much too short] stay in nyc below . . .

m o n d a y
mimosas with tory burch on madison ave // ladurée // an early lunch & lattes with laily

t u e s d a y
the tory burch runway presentation at the lincoln center // the chadwick bell show at the standard // lunch with laily at pastis // kelly wearstler & bergdorf goodman soirée [fun photos to follow] // architectural digest & tiffany & co. soirée

w e d n e s d a y
meetings // a stop by blue bottle for a quick latte & catbird in williamsburg, for a few pretty things, including a nallik by jean balk necklace [similar to this one], a stunning satomi kawakita bar ring, and a gold heart ring // a stop by brook farm general store in brooklyn [p picked up a waxed canvas book bag]

. . . and then, before we knew it, it was on the way out of the city to the utterly charming lakeview lodge in the mountains for the rest of the week . . .

NYFW Street Style Favorites

(Images via 1, 2)

***

Happy Thursday, loves!

Today for my NYFW recap I'm featuring some of my favorite street style images that I saw popping up around the web last week. I love seeing the street fashion nearly as much as the runway fashion, and I know many of my readers feel the same. Real women creating real outfits is so inspirational and exciting. Two of my favorite bloggers (and glitter girls!), Taylor (picture 3) and Caitlin (picture 5), were featured on various sites last week for their impeccable style during fashion week- I couldn't agree more!

{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 . . .

Friday's Fancies: The Fashion Blogger

Happy Friday, loves!

For today's Friday's Fancies post I'm featuring some lovely fashion bloggers. Clearly, their significant followings prove how much they are loved in the blogosphere. You know how much I love street style and the way that everyday women pull together incredibly inspiring ensembles from their own closets. It's amazing to me that fashion bloggers have become such a strong voice in the fashion world as a whole- they're real, original, beautiful and could easily be your bff who you'd share that dress with from Saturday night!

The accessory goddess, Blair Eadie from Atlantic-Pacific proves that too much is never enough. She constantly inspires me with her layering of clothes and baubles. She is the quintessential Glitter Girl and seems just as sweet as can be. Not to mention, how much would you love to dive into her accessories collection?!

Her blog, Sterling Style, chronicles her private and professional life which makes her even more relateable to her readers. And come on, what's not to love about a girl who rocks bright pink lipstick that well?!

The last photo is the first one that I came across of Miss Lucy. As soon as I saw that gorgeous sparkly skirt I knew I must track down the lady who was wearing it! Lucy Laucht often adds something twinkly to her ensembles- a belt, necklace, bright nail polish, or leopard-print shoes. I know you will just adore Lucy's girly (with an edge) style, click on over and be inspired!

Late Afternoon

After coming across that first image of Liz of the blog Late Afternoon on tumblr this week, I knew that I must follow her fashion adventures. I was right. With the first click, the San Francisco-based blogger inspired me to forgo my inhibitions about bold color and print choices. She effortlessly creates frocks that are just as interesting as they are beautiful. I couldn't be happier to have discovered Liz, she is sure to provide endless inspiration!

I took inspiration from Blair for this week's set. I love these bright stripes and bow details- on the necklace, earrings, and shoes. And how about that Proenza Schouler bag?!

I'm so excited about this weekend as one of my sorority sisters is getting married! A couple of my best friends are staying with me for the weekend and I simply can't wait! I anticipate lots of memories (and pictures) being made!

Wishing you all a wonderful summer weekend!

It's All in the Details. . .

Welcome back from the weekend, friends! 

I hope it was wonderful and bursting with all the things that bring you happiness!

I've been itching to do this post for some time now and other inspirations kept popping up, and I just never got around to it. Today, however, I'm thrilled to share some gorgeous images with you that I've been archiving for a while. I'm fascinated by the little details that go into great fashion statements- a bold necklace, a stunning bag, a stack of sparkly bracelets, glossy lips, breathtaking high heels. For me, fashion is so much more than putting together what you're going to wear each day. It's all the little details that make an outfit pop and make everyone who sees you stop and take notice. . .
