{hope you've had a beautiful weekend + a few lovely links}

. . . this weekend was a few luxurious moments to catch up on a little reading, afternoons in the warm late-winter sunshine and late lunches at old favourite places; there were also renovations—[contractors and things being built, a maddeningly fine dust falling over everything]—but also, the wonderful feeling of things accomplished and being steps closer to all the projects and plans that have begun some time ago; and there dinner at a new italian restaurant, glasses of montepulciano d'abruzzo and today, so much sunlight, it feels as if spring might arrive at any moment . . .

hope you've had [are having] a perfectly lovely [long] weekend, and that it's beautiful where you are, —roséline xo

{décor inspiration: rustic & refined}

. . . there is something about shades of silvery lilac and dusky lavender that can never resist, and especially when intermingled with rustic elements just in time for cosy autumn nights . . .

{inspiration & tuesday musings}

. . . while guests from paris are currently on an adventurous little road trip for the next few days, a little time to get caught up on a few things, including all the beautiful things have not had a moment to share, until now, with all the traipsing around and waterfalls . . .



{p.s.} and if you are wondering, have fallen hopeless behind on emails once again, but hope to answer as many as possible within the next few days x

{hope you had a summery, romantic weekend}

. . . always a little wistful at this time of year, as each passing day drenched in warm, golden rays draws us a little closer to summer's inevitable end . . . and so, this weekend was spend in the sunlight, in deep conversations and in candlelight, and in the space where daydreams and reality intermingle . . . and there are a million amazing projects and exciting new ventures and sometimes far too easy to get caught up in the excitement, and for this reason and from this moment, shall stop for a moment to catch a breath and remember to hold on to the last golden rays for as long as possible. . .

happy monday! hope you had a summery, romantic weekend, and that it was beautiful where you are, roséline xo

{summertime & little luxuries}

. . . the way the early morning light glimmers off the faceted crystals of a chandelier, the warm slant of sunlight on a perfect reading corner and a bouquet of coral-coloured roses, fresh baguettes for brunch and an early evening glass of rosé -- the days are much longer now and the bright mornings are filled with the music of a million birds -- it's summertime, summertime, and every moment feels like a luxury . . .
