{a new week, a new month, and a brand new year}

. . . the first week of this new year has already been a spectacular flurry of activity, beginning with a new tiffany blue & gold-leafed daybook waiting to be filled, and on the eve of new year's day, a meeting in a hotel lobby amidst the still twinkling post-holiday fairy lights, to plot and to plan and to dream, and there is so much to tell you, including, currently, two enormously exciting projects in the works, a wedding in paris in june, and still to come, the grandest adventure of all, that may just change everything -- and so, it is wild anticipation that we begin the second week of this new year . . .

{a new month & happy december}

. . . quite stunning, actually, how we have arrived at december so quickly, and in such a beautiful whirl of hours and days, flying at breathtaking speeds, only to arrive at the end, the very last month of an extraordinary year, and soon there will be the making of resolutions and plans for a new year, but for now, immensely looking forward to twinkling crystal & mimosas at festive brunches, holiday soirées and elegant dinners by candle & fairy light, to sequined dresses and upswept hair, and most of all, to a little time spent with those we love . . .

happy december! wishing you days filled with the utter magic of the holiday season, roséline xo

{a brand new month, a brand new season}

"September: it was the most beautiful of words, he’d always felt, evoking orange-flowers, swallows, and regret."

- Alexander Theroux, 1981

......................................................................................................

. . . the only fleeting regrets being, perhaps, the end of late dinners on balmy rooftop terraces at sunset and hours dreamily slipping by at the beach -- but september has its own beautiful charms: dusky mornings and french press coffee, soft leather clutches and wide-legged jeans, socks & heels and chic belted trenches, and most of all, wool tartan blankets as the leaves fall . . .



happy september! wishing you sun-drenched days as summer falls away and wonderful things to look forward this autumn, roséline xo

{happy monday & a brand new month}

. . . although it's monday, monday and {technically} back to work, while it is still summertime, and for a well-deserved break from the past few busy, busy weeks, skipping the office {and town} for a few hours today, and by the time you read this, will already be on the second cup of coffee at the café, and well on our way to the beach, the windows down and all summer breezes . . .

à bientôt / see you soon . . . happy monday {& august!} and hope your week is off to a perfect start, roséline xo

{late spring + a new month}

"The world's favorite season is the spring.
All things seem possible in May."

~ edwin may teale

. . . bright mornings and starlit nights, shades of green and lily of the valley, breakfast on the terrace and afternoons in lacy dresses . . . the month of may is filled with promise and drifts closer each day to summertime . . .

happy may! wishing you a month lost in happiness & beautiful things,
~ roséline xo

{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,

{a brand new month}

. . . an entire thirty-three days of the new year has already come and gone, and so far, things are off to a beautiful start -- have somehow, someway, managed to keep all resolutions, and for some long-forgotten {sentimental, perhaps, romantic, for certain} reason, february has always been one of my very favourite months . . .

happy brand new month! hope it is filled with endless love & possibilities,
xo
