{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

{spring things: april showers}

"Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain."

~author unknown

. . . happily, there have been more sunny days than rain so far this spring, but there are no illusions that the rain will not fall, {for it is april, after all}, only the eternal optimism of may flowers . . . and when the rain does come, we shall greet it with red lipstick and our best umbrellas, and dance if we must . . .

{a new month + magic in the air}

. . . wind-tousled hair and sun-drenched cafés, long pleated skirts and daffodils, coral lip gloss and brighter skies, and most of all, that irresistible, unmistakable, all-encompassing excitement that spring is on its way . . .

happy march! wishing you a month filled with sunlit happiness,
xo

{have a beautiful early november weekend}

. . . the plan was to [reluctantly] stow away the light & lovely dresses and pretty bed linens in favour of mohair, cashmere and italian wool; to unpack the heavy scottish tartan blanks for cosy evenings and to clear the closet of tiny shorts and flimsy tops for cable knit and tweed . . . but it has been sunny, sunny -- and perhaps, after a stroll amidst the fallen leaves, a stop for fish & chips, and a latte or two, perhaps then . . .

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