{at the office : chloé pre-fall 2012}

. . . pleated silk blouses and pretty pencil skirts, herringbone and shearling and scalloped trim -- few can match the elegant tailoring and perfect simplicity of chloé . . .

{fashion inspiration: jill stuart s/s 2012}

. . . after the holidays, there is always a quiet lull, a little lapse in time, where the daydreams begin -- of the new year ahead, of fresh starts and unbroken promises, and the pastel daydreams of winter's quiet deference to the flimsy dresses and fluttery spring days that lay ahead . . .

{dusky lilac, smokey lavender & hello}

. . . hello again! had not meant to go missing for quite as long, but as you know, with travel, things can sometimes get a little tricky when it comes to scheduling, and today, sunny, bright & beautiful in geneva, and with terrace cafés overlooking the lake and walks along cobblestone streets, still-leafy parks, fountains and cathedrals, was far too tempting to take the day to enjoy the unseasonably warm weather . . . not certain when there next will be a moment to say hello, but for now, leaving you with the utter sophistication of metallic wallcoverings, scalloped headboards and monogrammed bed linens, chandeliers and gilded mirrors, lavender velvet and de gournay . . .

à bientôt & hope your week is off to a perfect start,

{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

{dreams of early spring picnics}

. . . last week's mid-winter pedicure left newly golden toes and still-lingering dreams of sandy shores and wind-rippled bays . . . and today, it's bare shoulders and legs and thoughts of billowy dresses with layers of lace and pretty scalloped edges and the sweet promises of early spring picnics . . .
