{fashion inspiration | runway : rachel zoe fall 2012, new york}

. . . and it has been decided that from today until spring, shall wear only gold sequins and white faux fur trimmed in satin . . .

{runway inspiration : derek lam pre-fall 2012}

. . . not often one for prints and patterns, but there is something about derek lam's current collection, with its leather skirts and golden oxfords, cotton twill blazers and herringbone coats, silks and knits and sumptuously billowy dresses, that one is hopelessly drawn . . .

{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 . . .

{runway inspiration: rachel zoe rtw spring 2012}

. . . and while we're on the topic of easing into the colder months, should like, very much, to wear white a little longer, at least until the leaves have fallen, and especially if it would mean arriving at the office in a stunning and rather elegant pantsuit, and spending the evening out in a ruffle-sleeved and billowy gown flecked in gold . . .

{a tuesday morning in august + a few lovely links}

. . . this past weekend was a last-minute & whirlwind trip to montréal with guests from out of town {a few photographs to follow} , and after a little time away, it's back to work and already the morning light seems to be a little different, and while shall always and forever be madly in love with summer, do quite adore tall leather boots and tweed and cashmere, and it shall be quite wonderful to dash out in a belted trench once again . . .



hope your week is off to a perfect start, roséline xo

{runway inspiration: chloé, new york}

. . . intermingled with the more casual pieces of chambray and cotton, there were black sequins and whispery floral dresses, pretty bow blouses and deep coral pantsuits, fitted jackets, sheer skirts, impossibly elegant capelets, and all with that ever-present, always perfect sophisticated seventies air . . .
