{at the office | lookbook : secret squirrel winter 12}

. . . have always adored secret squirrel's 'quiet luxury and modern unassuming style', and the new winter 12 collection, art class, is as pretty as ever, with fun geometric patterns, sexy short trenches and shades of heather grey, blush and coral, that will make mornings before the office a perfect breeze . . .

{lookbook: greta fall | winter 2011}

. . . isn't this the loveliest silk dress? at once sexy & pretty -- belted and with heels, and it's off for a late lunch date with devastatingly handsome company . . .

{p.s.} more of this collection: one // two // three // four

{two lovely things: ponytails & polka dots}

. . . and if you find yourself having far too lovely a time on weekends, leaving the beginning of the work week with little time to spare: a silk bow blouse in pretty polka dots & a low ponytail for easy elegance, and it's coffee and out the door in perfect style . . .

{favourite five: fashion designer tory burch}

e d i t o r ' s n o t e : h e l l o f r o m r o s é l i n e

. . . as you know, a few weeks ago in the early morning light of late summer, stopped in for coffee & mimosas at the opening of tory burch's new flagship boutique on 797 madison avenue in new york, for a glimpse of the beautiful interiors spanning across five floors of a 19th century townhouse . . .



. . . and while browsing the new collection and in between a glass of champagne for me, and a freshly brewed coffee from a gilded service for laily, had the chance to catch up with tory and ask her a few questions . . .

{at the office: the pantsuit}

. . . and after spending the summer in billowy dresses, should think it rather lovely to spend the autumn in pantsuits, wool and tweed, and perhaps even tartan, perfectly offset by a pretty blouse and sexily tousled hair and it's all in a day's work . . .

{lookbook: sessùn automne-hiver 2011}

. . . and while it may still be a little early for chunky knits -- it is, after all, a brilliantly sunny september day -- there have, already, been a few cashmere mornings, and a few trench coat evenings, around and about, as the light begins to fade; and today, plans are beginning to fall into place for the moment, for next week, for the future . . .







{p.s.} previous sessùn: one | two | three

{style inspiration: white lace}

. . . shall never, ever fall out of love with lace, in shorts and sexy summer dresses {& here}, and now, guipure lace over a silk organza party dress with a full skirt . . . can you ever imagine?

{lookbook: braøseweddå, vienna}

. . . it's only tuesday and already it feels as if things are whirling along at astonishing speeds -- what is it about summertime that makes it fly by so? . . . aside from work & projects, happily, this time of year is also positively filled with wonderful things, and vienna-based label braøseweddå's bonnie & clyde themed lookbook captures today's mood perfectly . . .

{p.s.} also new today: sophisticated seventies style

{runway inspiration: jenni kayne, new york}

. . . and while we're on the topic of golden coral & evening sky, jenni kayne's current collection is a breeze of dreamy shades and easy shapes, a sprinkling of sequins and perfect coral lipstick . . .

{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

{monday, monday & all in a day's work}

. . . after one of the most relaxing weekends ever, overflowing with excitement for a new week, and over time, have begun to fall in love with mornings over late evenings, for their hazy early light and their miles and miles of new hours yet to be filled, and have always, always adored new weeks for this very reason, and for all the promises of new and undiscovered things . . . and this week is lovely projects, meetings and appointments, unruly inboxes and long lost letters, and little things that will comprise, at the end, enormous and enormously life-changing events in a few months' time . . . and so, for now, a pair of elegant wide-legged jeans, a chic carry-all, a chignon, and today's paper, and it's back to work . . .

happy monday! it's lovely to see you again & hope your week is off to a perfect start, roséline xo


{images: les composantes via pretty stuff}

{lookbook: raoul spring summer 2011}

. . . sexy secretary blouses and cuffed trousers, billowy tops and sophisticated city shorts, pretty pleated skirts and perfect trenches . . . and all with a casual elegance that will whisk you from the work-week, straight into the weekend . . .

{p.s.} also: a new capsule collection & the cropped trench in the last is slightly similar to mine, for those who have been asking x
