{out the door & a quick hello}

. . . hello! it's lovely to see you again, and after an early morning show, followed by a mad dash across town to another in the afternoon, and lunch with laily at pastis, finally, a few [very brief] moments of repose to stop by and say hello, before the champagne pours at tonight's soirées . . . and apologies for the absence -- have been having a bit of time keeping up with the days, and so, posting may, regrettably, be a little off-schedule this week . . .

hope you're having a beautiful week so far & à bientôt, roséline xo

{lookbook: kaufmanfranco fall/winter 2011}

. . . every once in a while, a collection comes along that is sheer perfection, and the kaufmanfranco fw11 collection, a stunning collaboration between designers ken kaufman and isaac franco, is just that -- with its sweeping camel coats and shimmery halter dresses, belted knits and sexy details, it is an altogether beautiful combination of rock & refined . . .

{thoughts for the weekend + a few lovely links}

. . . one of those weeks that whirled by with a flourish, and in the midst of plans and appointments, there were little moments of inspiration -- thoughtful comments & lovely tweets and perhaps one of the most beautiful letters ever received {from a wonderful reader in australia}, and have always known that those who stop by here {& here} for a visit each day are some of the loveliest people ever, but this week , especially so, and it has been said that love makes the world go round, so let us send as much as we can to those who need it most . . .

à la prochaine & looking forward to seeing you again,
~ roséline xo
