{hope you're having a beautiful autumn weekend}

. . . a late brunch on a sunny sunday afternoon, and can hardly believe that already one week ago, was boarding a flight home from paris, and everything seems to have flown since -- the ten days away, the seven days home, the entire month of october, even . . . and so, from the rest of this enchanted sunday on, shall revel breathlessly in every last moment, even as the days fall soundlessly into night and the slanted pools of light become paler with each autumn morning . . . for today, there are places to visit and old friends to write, overflowing closets to organise, and glittery shoes with which to dance the night away . . .

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

{p.s.} on monday, to begin the week, the long-awaited photographs of our time away in the impossibly romantic cabin in the mountains -- can not wait to show you! x

{décor inspiration: leopard print & winter white}

. . . and while on the topic of leopard print & bright winter whites, positively enchanted with the romantic and dusky light flooding through this home in buenos aires, and, of course, the leopard print against white walls and floor-grazing draperies, intoxicatingly intermingled with warm wood, velvet and florals . . .

{stylist: lotta agaton, stockholm, sweden}

. . . nearly always more drawn to crown molding and paneled and gilded walls, pools of silk and tufted velvet, floral wallpaper and warm herringbone floors than stark modernity, that is, unless the rooms have been touched by the work of swedish stylish lotta agaton, whose trailing vines in metallic pots and elegant bouquets of white roses add a luxe charm and an unmistakable air of warmth and romance . . .

. . . rounded edges and a soft, charmingly uneven texture that catches the play of light and shadows, and shall never look at walls the same way again . . .

{farewell, steve jobs}

“. . . almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”

{runway inspiration: rachel zoe rtw spring 2012}

. . . and while we're on the topic of easing into the colder months, should like, very much, to wear white a little longer, at least until the leaves have fallen, and especially if it would mean arriving at the office in a stunning and rather elegant pantsuit, and spending the evening out in a ruffle-sleeved and billowy gown flecked in gold . . .

Friday's Fancies: The Little White Dress

***

Happy, happy Friday!

Since I was away last weekend, I missed linking up for Friday's Fancies. I asked {av} if it would be ok if I used last week's theme for this week- it really is too good to miss! We're always hearing and reading about the LBD (little black dress) and how to style it, where to wear it, and all the variations that are available. However, I believe that the 'little white dress' is completely underrated and just doesn't get the attention that it deserves. Shame on the more popular, older sister for stealing the spotlight.

So, for today's Friday's Fancies, I'm celebrating the versatility and loveliness of the LWD and sharing some exciting ways to style this fabulous wardrobe staple.

(Chunky bangles from the always charming Kate Spade would surely
add some sparkle to your LWD)

(via)

(A neon colored satchel would be the perfect accessory next to a short white dress)

(A swipe of the new Kate Spade lipstick would definitely do the trick!
How about that second color?!)

(via)

(A bold hair piece I feel certain would turn heads)

(A sparkly mermaid manicure would look tres chic with a little white dress)

(via)

(A spritz of your favorite summer fragrance is an absolute must!)

(Can you imagine draping these gems around your neck?! The possibilities are endless!)

(For the ultimate 'little white dress,' I think those feathers add the most perfect touch)

(And, of course, a pretty little rock never takes away from an outfit)

My take on the LWD is quite simple- bold accessories. I love the contrast of the bright pink shoes and bag accompanied with the simplicity of the white dress. And frankly, an outfit is never complete without a little sparkle.

{wicker & white and summer delights}

. . . and while we're on the topic of grasping every last beautiful moment of summer for as long as we can:worn wicker baskets and folds of languid lacy things, heart-shaped waffles and breezy morning dresses, peonies and starfish, and always, seaside dreams . . .
