{have an enchanting autumn weekend}

. . . saturday morning was a luxuriously late start, a sunny morning drive and a favourite café utterly filled with charm and round marble tables and crimson umbrellas, walkways strewn with brightly fallen leaves and a breathtaking view overlooking the still-green parks and cityscape beyond, while inside, glittering antique chandeliers, flaky butter tarts and frothy lattes; and best of all, there's still time for the sound of leaves beneath tall leather boots and for perfect kisses under pale october skies . . .

hope you're in the midst of a stunningly lovely weekend & that it's beautiful where you are,

{dusky lilac, smokey lavender & hello}

. . . hello again! had not meant to go missing for quite as long, but as you know, with travel, things can sometimes get a little tricky when it comes to scheduling, and today, sunny, bright & beautiful in geneva, and with terrace cafés overlooking the lake and walks along cobblestone streets, still-leafy parks, fountains and cathedrals, was far too tempting to take the day to enjoy the unseasonably warm weather . . . not certain when there next will be a moment to say hello, but for now, leaving you with the utter sophistication of metallic wallcoverings, scalloped headboards and monogrammed bed linens, chandeliers and gilded mirrors, lavender velvet and de gournay . . .

à bientôt & hope your week is off to a perfect start,
roséline xo

{bits of gold & chic chignons}

. . . a graceful archway and inlaid floors, a grand piano and classic chignons -- a few beautiful thoughts floating about on this perfectly clear and ever-so-slightly crisp sunny autumn afternoon . . .

{all in a day's work & a quick hello}

. . . a very quick hello on one of those days where everything seems to be getting away -- there are deadlines and amazingly long to-do lists, arrangements and appointments, and the emails have been piling up for days, and so, it's coffee and back to work . . .

hope your week is off to a perfect start,

{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 . . .

{décor & fashion: mix and match}

. . . haven't had a chance to flip through the latest issue of lucky, but already adore this stunning mix of bold and geometric shapes and colours with delicate floral patterns and have also fallen in absolute love with the pink rose wallpaper and am already dreaming of it in the bedroom behind an italian campaign bed and fluttery curtains . . .

{décor inspiration: mirrored vanities}

. . . mirrored beside tables & shoe displays, desks, consoles, and even coffee carafes and shoes . . . as with chandeliers and bits of gold, there is something about mirrors that add such elegance, and while vanities have always been ultra-glamorous, when mirrored, things are elevated to another level entirely. . .

{p.s.} more mirrored vanities here & here

{a new week, a favourite bedroom & a few links}

. . . you know weekends are good when friday links become late-sunday ones, and sunday links are moved to monday . . . and this weekend was paris vogue and spanish wine, a late saturday night of dreams and plans and moonlight, an always leisurely sunday brunch and drinks on a sun-drenched terrace {first of the season!} . . . and, now monday, monday and it's good to see you again -- how are things?

wherever in the world you may be, hope you had an extravagantly lovely weekend and that your week is off to a perfect start, roséline xo

{décor inspiration: patterns & textures}

. . . there is something so wonderfully absorbing about this room -- the luxuriously rich colours and mix of patterns & textures -- perhaps it is the royal blue silk settee and elegant leopard print walls, the dazzling chandelier and bits of gold, the dusky streams of light and beautifully set table for two, or perhaps is is a combination of all these things . . .

{have a beautiful weekend + late-sunday links}

. . . there is just something about sundays -- everything seems to slow down to a perfect pace, and whether off to the countryside, catching flights or catching up on beauty sleep, it is nearly impossible not to relax on sundays and it's positively luxurious . . . and while last week was filled with loveliness, working in sun-drenched cafés and evening walks with the dog that ended in new summer wedges and a little black dress, there is a certain hope about sundays that always leaves time for brunch, a good book, the flower markets, handwritten letters, and moments lost in daydreams . . .

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