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

. . . this weekend was one of chignons & pearls and romantic sunday walks along the water; pastel-coloured petals falling on golden coffee tables and afternoons soaked in sunlight; there were cut-crystal glasses of sparkling wine for two, and that certain feeling of feverish restlessness that comes just before the arrival of spring, and also before the final realisation of dreams . . .

hope you had a stunning march weekend, and that it's beautiful where you are, —roséline xo

{hello & mid-week musings}

. . . hello! how are things? despite it being already mid-week, feels as if things are still a little in weekend mode, moving along in beautiful slow-motion, like a sequence in a film, but also whirling by quickly, at once, as nights fall into bright new days, and yesterday was much running around, and the renovations continue, and despite a few delays on current projects, things are being crossed on lists and plans are beginning to take shape, just as the days are wonderfully falling longer again . . .

à bientôt / see you soon & hope you week has been lovely so far, —roséline xo

{p.s.} beautiful new things to come, including this week's {take me away} x

{monday, monday & a brand new week}

. . . the place is in a bit of a topsy turvy state, as all things are before change, and this week's to-do lists are miles long, but it's lovely to be back after a beautiful weekend, and before it all begins . . .



CONTINUE ---------------------------------->

{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

{hope you're having a beautiful weekend + links}

. . . and it feels like a million years ago that we left london behind in the quiet hours of the early morning, before sunrise, and this note began in a bustling & cosy café in lyon and continues here, on a late, late night before much to do in the morning, a last traipse through the cobblestone streets, and then, it's off to geneva for a few days . . .

hope you've had a magical weekend, and that it's beautiful where you are, roséline xo

{p.s.} if you have twitter or instagram, come along, if you like x

{home again & hello}

. . . hello, hello! . . . just in, after a week in paris, home again late yesterday, and today feels like a monday, complete with a very fashionably late start, and after traipsing about nearly completely {& perhaps a little unbelievably} off-line, including facebook, twitter, twitpic, instagram, etc. {somewhat of an accomplishment over workaholic tendencies}, it's back to business with over 1,000 things unread in google reader and nearly 2,000 email messages . . . and with travel cases filled with party dresses, lacy skirts and pretty shoes barely unpacked . . . for now, a few moments to catch up and to catch my breath . . .

looking forward to catching up with you soon & hope you're having a perfectly wonderful week so far,
xo
